Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in support of “Teaching and Learning with Art,” will research, develop and test interdisciplinary lesson plans for “Learning Through Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Middle School.” The project will enable the museum to carry out much-needed research on middle school educators’ attitudes toward and perceptions of art-based interdisciplinary curriculum and the role of museums in teaching and learning. “Teaching and Learning with Art” will strengthen the museum’s ability to support the work of middle school educators and generate research that can be used by museums across the country to develop their own curriculum resources for educators in their communities.
