This class is for anyone who has an interest in looking at and developing hands on project ideas for children and teens in a museum setting. Join other museum staff who have participated in this informative class. Develop a portfolio of ideas for looking at art with this age group. Analyzing art, hands on projects, and practical advice for working with teachers and parents is included in this practical workshop that will enhance the museum visit for your very young visitors. Advice for looking at art with babies, 2's, 3's, and even those Tweens, Teens, and everything in between will be covered. Here is a sampling of what past participants wrote about the class: I particularly liked the section about how to look at art with the various age groups - thinking about where each group is at and how best to approach them on their level. I found the video made by the Art Institute very interesting as well. I really enjoyed watching all of the videos in Unit 1 that were geared to the different age groups. I realize that it is important to prep the students before they ever get to the museum and this is something that I haven't really done very well in the past. I also like the idea of having museum "games" to get them more involved and interested.
