Bringing Children to Art- Bringing Art to Children Heather Tice Nick Scalo Kirsten Zinser Abby Stark
Main Points • Access to museums • “Training teachers in a museum has several unique advantages. It allows art to be viewed and taught first hand, and it helps to model future ‘looking’ experiences for teachers when they return to the museum with their students” (Piro, 2001)
Main Points (cont.) • “It is important that future art teachers critically assess their own intellectual and emotional responses to works of art and then model informed and articulated discussions about them.” (Geahigan, 1999) • “The more future teachers are able to articulate their knowledge and perceptions about art, the more they will engage their student in rich artful dialogues. The more they reach out to the world of art beyond the textbooks, the more they will expand the walls of their classrooms to include museums and other community art resources.”
Considering art from multiple perspectives (Discussion question #1) • Historical and cultural significance • Formal qualities including composition, form, shape, and color • Meaning
Art Museum and Teacher Preparation • This partnership program between the University of Missouri Museum of Art and Archeology and the Art Education Program benefits teachers threefold. 1.) incorporates the multi-site aspect of arts appreciation 2.) celebrates museum standards 3.) provides opportunities for preservice art educators
Taking Students Into A Museum • Preview the works • Choose appropriate/relevant artwork • Conduct research • Bring children to art/conduct the tour yourself
Discussion question #2 • What do you think you could do if you do not have a museum to go to?
Portable Art Museums • “A portable art piece that features a leather case that holds a collection of miniature reproductions, photographs, and an original artwork by the artist” (Boite-en-Valise, 1935-1941)
