WELCOME TO THE ONLINE ART SUITCASE FROM THE YELLOWSTONE ART MUSEUM

This was developed for classroom educators, so you can learn more about discussing art with your students and making art in your classroom. The current version includes “Contemporary Indigenous Artists” for the 3rd grade and “The Artist and the Landscape” for the 4th grade, both with art and artists from Montana and the region that are in the Yellowstone Art Museum’s permanent collection.
