MoMA's
Teaching Methodology
School Programs at The Museum of Modern Art collaborate with teachers,
administrators, and parents to encourage students in grades K
through 12 to develop skills for analyzing and enjoying art. Using
an inquiry-based approach to learning, the objective of School
Programs is to foster dialogue and facilitate students' abilities
to find meaning in modern and contemporary art.
By asking
students a series of open-ended questions and encouraging them
to look carefully and think differently about works of art, students
are able to support their interpretations with specific observations.
This emphasis on analytic skills transfers into other areas of
the curriculum from observation, analysis, and problem solving
in science, to language classes where verbalizing visual information
builds vocabulary.
