Welcome
ArtsConnectEd is the product of a partnership between The Minneapolis Institute
of Arts and the Walker Art Center. Using the power of the Internet to stimulate
new approaches to learning, the goal of ArtsConnectEd is to make arts education timely,
engaging, interactive, and pertinent for both teachers and students of all ages.
The Minnesota Department of
Children, Families & Learning through an appropriation by the Minnesota State
Legislature is a major funder for many of the resources that have been developed
for ArtsConnectEd.
The ArtsConnectEd experience includes:
- a user-friendly Web site with access to the combined art collections,
libraries, and archives of the Walker Art Center and The Minneapolis Institute
of Arts
- full-color digital images of works of art, audio and video samples, and
textual information that bring the resources of the Walker Art Center and The
Minneapolis Institute of Arts to life online
- more than 80 online lesson plans and curriculum units for K-12 teachers,
reflecting the newly instituted Minnesota Graduation Standards and the National
Content Standards in the Arts
- online activities for all age groups that range from simple exercises on
color and scale to complex 3D environments
- a link to ArtsNet Minnesota which contains five thematic curriculum units
developed with arts educators throughout the state, entitled Environment,
Identity, Inner Worlds, What is Art?, and Designing
Spaces and Places
- links to other Web sites to help teachers, students, and their families
use the Internet as a tool for learning about the arts
