Many of you have expressed concern that our course goes through July 13th. This last Monday class was a make-up day from missing May 25th. However, I understand your predicament with having made other plans. So, here is our alternative:
By July 13th, provide a response to the following and artifacts showing you attended an arts-related exhibit or event. Artifacts could include a picture of something you take while at the exhibit or event, an entry stub, etc. (Just something that shows you actually attended...) Your artifact and response to the eight parts below will replace your participation, learning log, and assignment grade for July 13th, which is a maximum value of 20 points.
Reply to this post with your response to the following questions (and artifact- if you can...otherwise email the artifact to your instructor through SMU email):
1. Name of exhibit or event (Ideas: Hands on Children's Museum, Museum of Glass, Arts History Museum, Washington Center for Performing Arts- specify showing). This can certainly be a free event. HOCM has a free Friday. The next one is in Olympia on July 3rd from 5-9pm: HOCM The Museum of Glass also has a free night, but that is the third Thursday which has already passed.

YES! This multilevel museum has so much to offer for students and adults. I would have liked to spend more time there, but they close at 5pm and we arrived at 4pm. Students who spend months learning about Native American tribes can come to this museum and see the actual artifacts that have been preserved.
Great! Never been to this one, so I will have to check it out.

Ghosts of the Great Hall brings real characters from Washington's history to life. Student groups are led through the Great Hall, to three different characters and experience the past through their defining moments. At the conclusion of each interactive performance, students are encouraged to ask questions about the event and/or life of their character. Students will have opportunities to explore the museum exhibits before and/or after the guided portion of the tour
History Lab students become detectives in this engaging, one-and-a-half hour facilitated field trip where they learn about historical evidence by using the "Tools of the History Trade." Artifacts, ephemera, images, and electronic media are all tools that your class will use to solve a particular mystery in Washington state history. Armed with a map, a clue, and a code, students must crack the case and find the answer to one of the many secrets in Washington's past.
There is also various artifact related to topic students would be learning about the northwest and the native tribes such as:

I would like to see the native arts!
DeleteAubrey
The first is a local (to Centralia) museum. It is a pioneer home in Borst Park, Centralia WA. It is open every second Saturday of the month or a pone reservation. It is free to the public however, for class tours there is a suggested donation of 20- 50 dollars. I believe it depends on class size and funding of the school. There are four main parts to this location; one is the house that contains artifacts from the 1800’s. The second part is a carriage house that has farming equipment, other tools, and transportations. On site there is also a garden that features indigenize vegetation and other plants. The fourth element is a replica of a one room school house.
ReplyDeleteThis site could be and often is used to teach local history, pioneer history, and ecology. It is great for studying the environment as the site is near a local flood plain. Within the locations there are several examples of tools and crafting supplies so an art/craft lesson could be connected to handmade items or old fashion crafting. Also, because the sites are spread out over a bit of an area it would require movement to visit all of the sites. Also the site holds examples of native crafts. The locate tribe, the Chehalis, are famous for their basket weaving art. This is often a third grade field trip; however, I think one could go younger.
When I was a student this field trip was paired with a walking tour to explore the towns historical murals. I loved this. In this case one could both explain the historical importance of the paintings content as well as the artistic features of the murals.
I would defiantly recommend this site. It is one that the local schools go one almost every year and the student come back talking about it. The students get really into it and it is very impactful.
I haven't heard of this one before, so thanks for sharing!

8. I would definitely recommend this for a school field trip. It is an exciting way to get the kids out of the classroom and out to explore their lovely Evergreen State. It is an experience that the students will get excited about it. They will get to ride on a trolly, see nature and discuss their experiences as a group. The science part of this trip will teach students about wildlife habitat that truly live at their backdoor and they actually get to see those animals up close and personal like bears, cougars, raccoons, moose etc. Again, yes I would recommend NW Trek so get those children up and moving, walking down those trails from exhibit to exhibit. There is so much to explore. Oh, I almost forgot the zipline--but it costs extra so probably not a good idea for a school field trip. Considering the safety and such it is probably best to do the zipline when you are not with your class.

Explanatory commentary in the form of interpretive text panels, interactive technology and gallery guides are provided to ensure your experience is meaningful and engaging.
Kids Design Glass™ Program invites children 12 and under to stretch their imaginations and create original designs based on the artwork displayed at the Museum. The whimsical designs kids create stretch the talents of our highly-skilled glassblowing team—and they love the challenge! One entry is selected to be interpreted into glass by the Hot Shop Team each month. Two sculptures are created—one for the designer to take home and one for the Museum’s Kids Design Glass™ Collection.

A docent will meet your group when you arrive and escort you to your chosen experiences. Each experience lasts 30-minutes and is aligned with Washington State standards. If your group is large (maximum 80 students) or consists of more than one class, we are happy to help you work out a rotating itinerary to get the most from your visit.
What will students experience?
Galleries – We identify major themes, stylistic content and aesthetics through careful research to produce an interactive, interpretive experience for students. Students experience the art, are engaged with questions and challenged to draw conclusions.
Education Studio – The art studio provides opportunities for hands-on engagement with the ideas behind the art. An interactive, experiential learning space, the art studio operates as an extension of the Museum’s exhibitions.
Note: A $1 materials fee per student will be charged for groups wishing to participate in the art activity.
7. Core area connections
CREATING CONNECTIONS
The Museum’s Education Team produces several curriculum units each year which help teachers and students make the most of their trips to the Museum. Each unit relates to a specific exhibition and includes pre- and post-visit lesson plans that are aligned with state standards (EALRs and GLEs).
We team up with local university professors, educators and students to take an interdisciplinary approach to our curriculum units, using art to engage students in math, science, history, literature and more.
8. Would you recommend this exhibit/event for a school field trip? Why or why not?
Yes, It is very engaging and interactive, The museum also gives teachers additional resources and curriculum to connect art with core content.

Field trip? I would definitely recommend the full experience for your students! It’s great for students to attend a farmer’s market where they get to see locally grown flowers, foods, and arts/crafts. It’s also great for them to experience the instruments and sounds of various musicians, whether they be street musicians or scheduled performers. I also think that the kids would love to see the gum wall because it is a famous Seattle art project that they can be part of! Not to mention that kids tend to love nasty things like used gum…Students will also greatly benefit from being part of an improvisation show, whether it be just watching and learning through the show or having Unexpected Productions come to you to give lessons and build team unity and self-confidence.
The gum wall...very cool yet gross, so sure to be a hit!
