2.2 During your museum visit

Tips and tricks for educators at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York:

My key points of the video above :

1. Sitting expectations
2. Focus on only 3 or 4 works of art
3. Make a conversation about them
4. Select large works of art to have space around them
5. Spot interesting details on the work of art
6. Ask the students how works of art help exchange ideas
7. Spot interesting works of art discussed and compare them with eachother
8. Cultivate deep engagement
9. Recreate a work of art with details
10. Bring a material like marble for the students to touch, since we can't touch the exhibits

In summary:

• Set clear expectations
• Select works of art strategicaly
• Use a theme to establish a clear focus
• Incorporate a set of activities

ACTIVITY

Let’s make a really nice long list of excellent activities at museums which we can use as inspiration for our next museum field trip.

My post:

Create copies of the exhibits exactly how the see them in the museum, with plasticine, clay and other materials.
