Dear Fellow Educators,
We invite you to use the Santa Barbara Museum of Art as a teaching resource and extension of your classroom. Learning through art is a powerful way to enhance the curriculum at every grade level and across subject areas. Using a discussion-based approach and a blend of Visual Thinking Strategies as well as thinking routines, we invite students to learn how to look. The development of critical thinking skills has come to be recognized as an essential component in the education of young people and is at the heart of the new Common Core standards. Learning to look at art helps students develop the kind of skills that are essential for success across curriculum and throughout life: helping them to become college and career ready. Within the framework of these facilitated discussions, students take on increasingly complex ideas as they move through grade levels and show significant improvement in associating, comparing, and contrasting, flexible thinking, supporting a hypothesis with relevant evidence, and most strongly, observing and interpreting as they construct both their own and shared knowledge.
Effective September 1, 2012 SBMA is offering free admission to all Santa
Barbara County students (from K – college) with current ID/proof of local residency and all
Santa Barbara County teachers (K – 12th grade) with current ID.
