The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art
On February 3rd, my student in ED 119 Aesthetic Experiences for Young Children and I visited the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in Loretto, PA. In this course we discuss ways to share aesthetic experiences with young children. One way to do this is by sharing and discussing art with children. Additionally we have been discussing characteristics of high quality field trips to places such as museums, concerts, and theater and dance productions. At the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art we enjoyed “Biennial 2008� which is a celebration of the artistic talent that flourishes in this region. The students and I learned all about the educational outreach programs such as the arts-in-education program, pre-service seminars, art camps, home school classes, the lecture series, teacher/artist workshops, lunch a l’art, arts for healing, exhibition tours, and information on teacher resources. It was a fabulous day!
