Meet The YAM Educators
YAM Education Overview
Our vision is to provide high-quality, museum-based art education to children in Billings and the region. The YAM education team develops its own art curriculum, which is aligned with state and national art education standards. Every lesson is based on our permanent collection of artwork or current temporary exhibitions.
Education at the YAM includes touring the museum and teaching in our on-site studio as well as taking art to students in schools, after-school programs, and other educational settings. Our tours and studio teaching are grounded in Visual Thinking Strategies, an inquiry-based method designed to create
connections between students and learning in museum settings.
