Activities

Explore UT is open to the general public with online programming that is accessible to all. Activities specifically designed for K-12 students include an indication of a suggested grade level, denoting the difficulty of the concept or activity presented. Some programs will require participants to join virtual platforms (Zoom, Brazen, etc.). Children who are participating in these programs must be monitored by an adult chaperone (parent, guardian or a teacher) in order to join the virtual platform. Some may require verification that a chaperone will be present in order to register for participation.

INSPIRATIONS Video

In this video presentation, Art Education Majors at the University of Texas at Austin share inspirations, influences and future aspirations (why I want to teach art, what kind of art teacher I would like to be). Dr. Donalyn Heise, Art Education Faculty in the College of Fine Arts, and her students created this video as part of the statewide arts advocacy initiative known as "Big Art Day" in Texas.
