Teachers, arts integration specialist, and museum educators collaborated to develop lessons and projects that incorporated math, science and architecture to reveal how all disciplines are connected.
Due to the outbreak of the Corona virus in the spring semester of 2020, all schools in Arkansas were forced to close their campuses and offer virtual Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) for all classes for the remainder of the school year. While the COVID-19 pandemic may have prevented the My School, My Museum program from taking place physically on the campus of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the fourth grade teachers and arts integration team saw this challenge as an opportunity to develop creative, virtual experiences for the students.
