With this kind of on-line museum visit, kids not only learn about art and social studies, but they also sharpen critical thinking skills. These are all critical decisions that draw upon higher-level thinking skills. The process is easy. After signing in, you're invited to create your own gallery, which can display up to 50 favorite works of art. But don't stop with the Metropolitan.
Children can create their own galleries while visiting any on-line museum.
Students can copy images to the desktop or cut and paste them into a simple word processing document. Imagine that the same child who has captured nine of his favorite pieces of Asian art has also cut and pasted them into his gallery. Pursue social studies further by visiting the Smithsonian National Museum of American History . In a similar vein, visit the Seattle Art Museum 's interactive gallery specifically geared to children. See the Kids' Page to view specific works of art.
