More Ways Art Museums Can Help Me Teach
NDE Fine Arts, Nebraska Art Teachers Association, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum presented “Art Museums Can Help Me Teach?” and “More Ways Art Museums Can Help Me Teach” in February and March 2023. This professional learning series is an introduction to ways you can collaborate with the Smithsonian American Art Museum and bring the Smithsonian Institution to your school and your kids.
Learn how interacting with artworks can sharpen your kids’ critical thinking skills, helping them learn key concepts in STEM, ELA, History, Social Sciences, Visual Arts, and other contents, too. Discover the vast resources of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and how you can use art from their collection, or lesson plans and video conferences that been developed. Explore the Smithsonian Institution’s Learning Lab that spans all 21 museums of the Smithsonian Institution.
