Episode 184: Using the Art Museum
Laura and Matt GrundlerChristy Garton & David Matteson
As educators, we recognize the importance of art museums and the part they play in preserving culture. However, for a variety of reasons, these institutions can seem unreachable, as if they’re only meant for showcasing art and not assisting educators. AND, what if there isn’t access to a local museum or there aren’t funds for field trips? David Matteson, Associate Curator of Education at Rollins Museum of Art, and Orlando Art Educator, Christy Garton are here to change perceptions and help bridge the gap between museums and art educators. They join the Creativity Department to talk about the many ways to use art museums. From lesson plans based on their collections to professional development, listen in and learn what resources are offered to art educators.
