I choose the Art Institute of Chicago to explore. I decided to do this lesson whole group with my smart board. This will give me more control of what my students view and also allow me to do this with a wider range of grade levels. I designed this in Canva and it will be very easy to swap the art in the frames as well as changing the name of the museums we visit.

I aplogize for how late this assigment is. 😔

I can have the students explore Google Arts & Culture website and teach the elements of art by having them look for artwork that shows each of the elements. We would do one together in class so that they know how to navigate the website and learn how to copy and paste into their digital sketchbook.

Virtual field trips are such a great idea! I love that there are galleries that are making "visiting" a museum more accessible, especially when it can be difficult to get funding for an actual field trip!

Here is my simple handout to accompany a virtual museum tour. I will be using this next year with my Art History HS students. I recently visited the museum and immediately wanted to bring my students; so many connections can be made by seeing real life artifacts! This worksheet would be used an a starting point to help students self navigate then focus in on some Ah-ha moments, questions they may have and some memorable artifacts they enjoyed.

I am in a self contained high school classroom with students with disabilities. We cover all subjects in class. In global studies we are in the unit of the renaissance period. So this is an image my students would be familiar with. I would break them up into 3 groups and each group would work together to put the Mona Lisa puzzle together. Below are questions for the puzzle analysis.

If you were able to meet the woman in the painting, what would you ask her?

How does this portrait compare to selfies or portraits we create today?

If you were to paint your own version of the Mona Lisa, what would you change or keep the same? Why?

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted a museum that could simulate walking around but not be too confusing Museo Frida Kahlo was a good fit for this criteria. Her home was so colorful and full of objects I thought students would enjoy checking it out and seeing how a museum can display artwork and be a home.

This can be a worksheet I can utilize in AP Art History. This assignment focuses on works of art (from the 250 APAH image set) that is located in MOMA. This can work for in-person visits (scavenger hunt) and/or if we utilize a virtual tour. It can also work as a HW assignment. In addition, MOMA has a section on their website for AP Art History that is very helpful!

I thought this would work well with visual journaling! Visual journaling is one of my favorite projects of the year and I think this will be a helpful worksheet for students to brainstorm ideas.

For my introduction to Art 6, 7 & 8, I always have them do a free design. We do a lesson on generating ideas (brainstorming) which I always try to pull detail to help them figure out what to draw! We can then focus on learning about sketching and putting ideas into visual stories. This assignment was super helpful as I always just have them do this in their sketchbooks, but this makes it more tangible. I was also thinking I could have them brainstorm some details as well. I'll be using this next semester! Thank you for the inspiration!

Students will watch a video from the Smithsonian Museum on portraits and then tour virtually the Gallery of Presidents at The Smithsonian. This activity is to gain some insight into portraiture and what information it can share. Once the students complete the handout from their tour, we will take the virtual tour as a class and navigate the site together. Students will take the opportunity to share their observations and ask questions during our group tour. The video link is an introduction that they can preview and will also be reviewed in a later lesson on this unit of study.

I'm really picky with these virtual tours because my kids aren't mature enough to handle nudity and I'm honestly awful at navigating through big museums. But this tour was like a closed, curated show of women in abstract art so I thought it would be perfect and it's not too hard to navigate. Saving it for women's history month!

I've got to be honest, I found this on Canva and simplified it for my purposes. When exploring the different museums I noticed a lot of paintings that might not be considered appropriate for my elementary students (any glimpse of nudity, even through a doorway would be out). I think it could be really amazing for them to see the Impressionists grouped together though. We talk about the movement in 5th grade and seeing several paintings as a group really helps them understand what the movement is about in a different way. I would lead a tour for them, which could be the Louvre or Musee d'orsay, showing them different paintings. I like the idea of them observing something closely enough to create a sketch of it, which is why I included it.

I created this virtual field trip for my elementary ENL students. I would introduce the idea of metafiction by sharing Harold and the Purple Crayon. After reviewing the exhibit at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, students would select one of the pictures and complete a response sheet. They would then read the entire book that included the artwork they studied. This activity would be a fun opportunity to integrate art appreciation with reading, writing, listening and speaking skills for my English learners.

Each year, my 5th graders dive into an exciting "Animal in Outer Space" art project. This unit emphasizes the importance of choice-based learning, meeting a key standard by encouraging students to make intentional decisions about their materials. Students select an animal and choose two mediums they're familiar with to bring their ideas to life. This approach not only reinforces their understanding of various materials but also empowers them to express creativity through thoughtful selection and combination of techniques.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for this idea! I think this will be a great way for students to see connections between artists, time periods, styles and backgrounds. This is also a great way to show evolution of ideas and techniques, as we all learn from each other. This particular comparison duo is a current artist; Bisa Butler who primarily works in textiles and the ever famous Gustav Klimt. I'll use this in either 8th grade art or Studio Art in the HS. This would be a great formative assessment or just a method for students to respond to art and come up with their own interpretations of how art is fluid and expressive throughout generations.

This slide has clickable clinks in order to do the spinner. It could be done as a class or pushed out to individual students. I also thought it would be a great sub plan for most of the grades that I teach (k-5). I know this takes away some of the choice, but sometimes kids spend forever debating what they want to do and this would force them to just get started and go with it.

When I was in HS we had to do a report on an artist that shared the same first initial of your last name, even then mine was an H. That was when I discovered Edward Hopper, and have always wanted to incorporate his work into my lessons. At the HS & MS level relationships always seem to be a hot topic, maybe looking at an artists point of view could be helpful to some students, which is why I decided to use the two images for this assignment.

I am a teaching assistant in a 12-1-2 class with students with different disabilities. Our students love art, we have a lot of artist in our class. We first I would show a video on Monet paintings.

I created it on a google slide so the students can type it into the boxes.

I am a grade 4 teacher and we lean heavily on the American Revolution. I chose to depictions of the Boston Massacre and want the kids to really look at the difference beyond the coloration.

I would print 4 of this painting in color and cut it into shapes and have the students work in groups to assemble it together. We could also incorporate the orginal painting of Starry Night by Van Gogh and do a comparison.

I was able to find a MOMA kids section that I specifically linked. There are a small amount of "school appropriate" images for my 6th graders to choose from which will make things easier for them and prevent them from getting lost exploring the entire museum.

Each year, I create a bracket board inspired by March Madness for art. This bracket is displayed in the hallway, allowing the entire school to participate in voting for a winner. After comparing and contrasting, we select a final winner. I’ve also designed a worksheet specifically for the upper grades (3-5) to enhance their engagement in the process (you can find that at the end of the presentation) . I added a video on how to compare and contrast in art class to the presentation.

We do a unit in 4th grade on Japanese Art. This would be a fun do-now at the beginning of the unit. I kept the questions pretty simple with visual thinking strategies and searching for Elements of Art to help students break down what they are seeing.

I created a presentation to introduce this concept to students, where we role-play as detectives searching for clues in our artwork puzzle. I introduce tools like VTS, five senses, sketching, compare and contrast, and perspective-taking or role-playing—just like the tools an art detective would have in their toolbox for investigation! I found an online puzzle generator in hopes to complete the activity as an entire community for an introduction. Once my students have mastered the idea, I would break it down to smaller groups.
