Practice strategies for developing visual literacy by exploring works of art using inquiry, writing, and communication skills. Learn more about resources available from the North Carolina Museum of Art. Activities can be used across multiple grade levels and subjects.
The arts offer a step beyond project-based learning because they represent "projects" that engage learners on physical and emotional levels. Also, they offer opportunities to not only apply knowledge, but also to apply it imaginatively. In applying knowledge imaginatively, learners have a chance to play with ideas, to question them, and to transform them—to see them differently.
Middle School Visual Arts Teachers will meet to discuss upcoming community art shows and share art lessons that align with the NC Standard Course of Study.
