Art Trunks are educational kits designed to enrich appreciation and understanding of present and past art exhibitions at the Frist Center. The Art Trunk program provides unique opportunities for participants to become more informed about works of art, their meanings and the artists who created them. Each Trunk has a theme and includes reproductions of artwork from specific exhibitions and guided lesson plans for three activity sessions. Through observation, questioning strategies, comparisons and related art activities, the Art Trunks provide a learning process for students that offers a higher level of understanding and appreciation of art. Art Trunks are used to continue and expand the outreach program with the Frist Center’s community partners. The Frist Center Art Trunk program also provides the following for Community Partners: Training for staff at the community partner site on using the Art Trunks Training for Frist Center contract teachers and volunteers Transportation subsidy (provides assistance with transportation for visit to the Center)
