Effects of a museum-school collaborative on seventh-grade students of an urban public elementary school

Abstract

dc:description

"The purpose of this research was to investigate whether general vitalizing effects of art as well as more specific effects of integration and enlivening of school taught knowledge could be seen in the reactions, products, and subsequent behavior of some of the students that participated in the Museum Classroom program. Specifically, the study focuses on the experiences of seventh graders of an urban public elementary school whose focus was Colonial America. Three types of samples of student work were analyzed: (a) sketchbook/journal notes, (b) creative and descriptive writing about a portrait of ""Mary Greene Hubbard"" by John Singleton Copley, and (c) art work produced. In addition, (d) interviews were conducted and analyzed."
