Discovery happens when children look, write, listen to other perspectives, and then see anew, with these 20 art-based activities.
This book, created by the docents and staff of the Milwaukee Art Museum, is the perfect resource for engaging students in art and writing in the classroom, at home, and in museums and galleries of all kinds. Inspired by the National Writing Project and grounded in the Six Traits of Writing, the twenty writing activities within this book challenge students to tell stories, analyze details, and enter new and unfamiliar worlds through the close observation of works of art.
The activities are paired with art from the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Collection but are written so they can be used at most any location where there is art to be found. Teachers, parents, guardians, and children will be amazed at what they can see and discover together. Appropriate for students in grade 4 and up.
