School and Teacher Programs
We invite you to use the Santa Barbara Museum of Art as a teaching resource and extension of your classroom. Learning through art is a powerful way to enhance the curriculum at every grade level and across subject areas. Using a discussion-based approach and a blend of visual thinking strategies as well as thinking routines, we invite students to learn how to look. The development of critical thinking skills has come to be recognized as an essential component in the education of young people. Learning to look at art helps students develop the kind of critical thinking skills that are essential for success across curriculum and throughout life. Within this multiyear art-discussion program, students take on increasingly complex ideas as they move through grade levels and show significant improvement in associating, comparing, flexible thinking, and most strongly, observing, and interpreting.
