Bring the Museum Inside your classroom 2017/2018!

Connect your students with art like never before with Museum To Go! Sign up for 3 FREE, interactive classroom experiences that will ignite imaginations while making exploration, discovery, and learning fun! When you partner with CMA, we will bring the Museum to your classroom through a virtual exhibit tour, an interactive and multidisciplinary lesson, and a hands-on art activity.

In a Museum To Go experience, your students will

• Discover specific works of art and discuss their context and meanings.
• Explore a current exhibit from CMA’s Permanent Collection through a Google Virtual tour, experiencing artwork in a museum setting.
• Connect artwork with themes relating to cross discipline Common Core standards.
• Engage in an experimental, hands-on art activity or project relating to themes explored in both the artwork and the academic standards.

As a teacher utilizing Museum To Go, you will  

• Spark critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, communication skills, and character development in students through the creative exploration of art in the classroom.
• Gain access to lesson planning and CMA resources online to prepare for a MTG visit, and to reinforce subject matter after the visit.
• Appreciate the flexibility of scheduling an in-class visit year round- and prepare students for a visit to the Canton Museum of Art to experience art firsthand.
• Relax and have FUN! Our trained Art Educators will come equipped with lesson plans, portable technology, and all necessary materials for your MTG!

What you need to know:

• The program is FREE and open to all Stark County 4th grade educators! 
• Each of the 3 lessons will connect works from the CMA to curriculum from various subject areas, and align with Ohio’s 4th grade standards.
