Welcome
The purpose of this blog is to provide art educators with resources they can use in the visual arts classroom. I have always been very interested in using museum programs in the secondary arts classroom. I have been using museum content as a part of my curriculum for the past three years. I find that it plays an important role in my classroom by providing information that is generated by experts in the field of art history. Museum instruction is high quality and based upon best practices for educators. Utilizing museum programs in the secondary arts classroom is an easy way to supplement arts education. Museums are developing high quality art experiences that with creativity, technology, and planning can be put to use in most art curriculums. Thank you for visiting The Museum School.
Chuck Close Assignment
This painting was created by my Art 3 class after visiting the Nevada Museum of Art and learning all about Chuck Close. This class consists of students in their third semester of of art. Students also listened to several podcast and interviews with Chuck Close to gain more insight into his work. Each student was given a 9x12 canvas and a printed section of a portrait. Students painted their canvas with Chuck Close in mind. They used a grid to translate the information from the printed section to the canvas. The canvases were numbered to keep track of the sections. The finished work measures 4 ft. by 6 ft. To download this lesson plan click the link below.Lesson Plan
