During more of my research for the new art curriculum I noticed the Musee d’Orsay fashioned yellow & grey for their Museum History page! I was delighted as you could imagine.
I am currently pulling together as many web resources as possible and cataloging their specific features for school education. I get lost in the museum websites because they include numerous photographs and detailed information to help people understand their collections. So many museums have included amazing educator resources such as the following:
- MET: Walk the Block, detailed timeline, look closer activities, great kids page
- National Gallery of London and Tate: videos, lesson plans, games, activities
- Louvre: Closer Look narrated guides to works of art, 3D tours, works broken down by themes
- Prado: Glossary
- MOMA: Red Studio, Destination Modern Art, Modern Teachers lesson plans
- Guggenheim: limited lessons and resources
- Musee d’Orsay: Floor plan, museum history, loads of great photographs and guides
- Whitney: Learning @ Whitney, student-directed, teacher resources and methodology, audio clips, timeline, project ideas, Exploring Stories
- NGA D.C.: loads of student-directed materials, teacher resources, past exhibitions including DADA, online tours
- Pompidou Centre: Junior Pompidou site, so colorful and FULL of video, audio, photos, interactive, and more!
- Denver Art Museum: Wacky Kids learning sit
- Cincinnati Art Museum: Teacher resource guide
- Contemporary Art Center: sadly nothing! Come on Cincinnati
There are so many resources out there that I can’t possibly keep going on! For today at least.
