Creativity Resource

Museum Web Quests are opportunities to bring the museum to you. Self-paced, engaging, and educational resources intended for entirely virtual or in-person learning with students of any age.

Each Web Quest includes artist-designed scavenger hunt activities, in-depth lessons, interactive slides, videos centered on artworks from the DAM's collection, and DIY example videos. Mix and match these fun, easy-to-use resources to create a thematic customized experience that fits your child or student's needs.

We offer an abundance of lesson plans for all age groups inspired by works in our collection! They were designed by local educators for teachers and homeschooling parents. These lesson plans meet Colorado standards and include 21st Century skills.

Here you’ll find some of our favorite books and why we love them. We’ve even included a few prompts to try while reading to your kids.

Ever wanted to know more about a piece of art you saw at the DAM? By clicking on an Art Object, you’ll find information about the artist, what inspired the piece of art, and interesting details to note about the work of art. You’ll also find high resolution images and any additional resources we have relating to the artwork.

Creative Practices are fun activities which engage kids (and adults!) while looking at art. You can try these activities out at home, in the classroom, or during your next visit to the DAM!

If you’re looking to get hands on, Art Explorations are for you! Find a variety of artmaking projects you can do at home inspired by art in our collection.

Lesson Sparks & Videos give you a glimpse into techniques, practices, and influences. They focus on an artist or an object from our collection accompanied by guiding questions to spark meaningful discussions.

The Creative Activity Library houses all available resources with all kinds of fun and inspiring activities based on the Denver Art Museum’s collection and exhibitions. This includes artmaking projects inspired by different works of art with information about the artist, fun instructional videos, a list of all the materials, and guided questions to consider while working on the project.
