A press release describing an educational institute for thirty North Texas art educators and principals sponsored by the North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts (NTIEVA) held at the Amon Carter Museum on June 20, 1990. The goal of the institute was teach visual literacy and sensory awareness to educators in order to give them tools to teach creative and higher-level thinking skills to their students. The institute used interactive exercises like role playing and a "sound symphony" based on artworks held by the Amon Carter to teach these concepts.
