Resources for Teachers and Counselors

A classroom filled with people drawing portraits on easels resembles a bustling art studio. Several students are seated on stools, while others stand. The walls and floor are light-colored, lit by overhead lights, showcasing various sketches and drawings in this creative foundation.

Are you a teacher or counselor interested in learning more about MassArt for yourself or your students? Let’s work together.

At MassArt, we are committed to partnering with you and offering guidance for your students. We are dedicated to forging close connections with high school teachers and counselors, community college transfer advisors, faculty, and independent education consultants with the shared goal of creating support for students interested in pursuing an education in art and design.

A person with blue hair, wearing glasses and a white sweater, is shaping clay on a pottery wheel. Theyre focused on molding the clay, with a red bucket and sponge nearby. In this ceramics studio, teachers guide students in exploring their creativity through hands-on practice.

In a vibrant studio filled with educational resources, a person with long blonde hair paints a portrait of a child on a bicycle. An easel holds the painting and reference photo, while paints and brushes scatter across the table. Other easels stand ready in the background.

Our Admissions Team is available to visit your class and connect with students in-person and virtually throughout the year.
