Art Gallery Plan: Art Museums Museums and art galleries

2) Many galleries have resources and programs for educational groups

If you’re planning an educational visit, many art galleries can provide you with tours, pamphlets, and teaching services to help students get the most out of the gallery. This is a direct way to get involved with arts communities, ask questions, and learn about art from experts who have a deep understanding of the topic.

3) Students will get to experience art outside of their screens

In a world where children spend over six hours a day glued to a screen, the importance of taking children to museums is pretty obvious. When children are learning with digitally oriented curriculums, there is something really special about showing them textile artworks.

Galleries give students the opportunity to explore the textures of paintings up close, the drapery dangling off marble statues, and the scale of a large canvas. This puts art in a completely different perspective to viewing it on a phone or a laptop.

Learning about art in the flesh within the context of a gallery is why we visit museums, rather than looking at art on Instagram.
