• The Smart Museum of Art is the art museum for the University of Chicago
• Over 12,000 objects from all periods of art, but with concentrated holdings of mid-century modern, contemporary, and East Asian art
• located 6 miles south of downtown Chicago, in close proximity to many of the city’s largest museums
• The University’s faculty and students comprise a large audience, but we are also free and open to the public, serving the Hyde Park and greater Chicago communities
TOURS • The Smart Museum offers a variety of
in-depth visual art experiences, from single-visit tours of the permanent collection & special exhibitions to our multi-visit program for 3rd and 5th grades.
• All visits are free of charge and can
be designed in collaboration with museum staff to support your classroom learning objectives.
Smart ways to integrate the arts with classroom learning:
LESSONS • Collaborative Programs grow out of conversations between teachers, museum staff, and occasionally artists. We talk with teachers about classroom priorities and needs, as well as process and goals, to determine what specific roles each partner will play based on the nature of the project. Themed tours and lesson plans are easily and purposefully integrated within the curriculum.
Example of collaborative programs: • Healthy Habits: a teacher-developed lesson
plan based on a still-life that exemplifies healthy food choices
• The Making of a Superhero: a teacher-team developed lesson plan based on a narrative work through which we explored themes of myths, storytelling, and visual literacy.
•Harlem Renaissance: a tour developed in
conjunction with classroom objectives to consider further the role of the arts in the Great Migration •Chicago Artists: a tour developed in conjunction with classroom objectives to make personal connections between the arts and Chicago students
Engaging discussions challenge students to observe carefully, think critically, communicate confidently, and listen with respect to other points of view.
Professional Development OBJECTIVE: Teachers will discover opportunities to collaborate and create arts-integrated lessons, using objects in the Smart’s collections, with a focus on the points of intersection between the arts and other discipline areas.
