SDMA- week of 3/1

I thought the visit to SDMA was fun and knowledgeable. I liked how our tour guide involved teaching with artwork. It was fun to look at the similarities and differences of artwork and how you could incorporate artwork into a teaching lesson that involves math or science. I think museums like SDMA are viable and accessible resources to mostly secondary students or students in the third grade and up in elementary school because I don’t know if young students have the patience to stand that long and pay attention. I feel like it would be better for the older students who have probably developed more analytical skills. Also, the younger students might touch the artwork, make noise or run around which would be a distraction to other people in the museum.
