Visit an Art Museum from the list provided and summarize your experiences and ways to incorporate the museum in your work with children and their families

1. Visit at least one art museum from the list of approved museums.

2. Spend ample time at the museum in order to thoughtfully view as many pieces of artwork as possible and to get fully explore your senses. It may be helpful to take notes during your visit to remember what you saw, how you felt, etc.

3. In a professionally written paper that is typed, summarize your experiences and impressions of the museum and the artwork in the museum. Summarize how your senses were impacted during the visit. Summarize your reactions to the artwork, your feelings and emotions while viewing the artwork and in the museum in general.

4. Continuing in your paper, outline the logistical details of the museum you visited. Describe the museum including these details: physical layout, aesthetics, location, hours, fees,

5. In the last section of your paper, create a handout with families, introducing them to the museum you’ve toured and sharing 5 activities they can do with their young children while they are at the museum (include any information about how the activities relate to children’s development – NC Foundations works!)
