STEAM Science Technology Engineering Art and Math Grades

STEAM Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math Grades K-4 *5 th Graders will follow STEAM Middle School Tour

According to the Georgia Department of Education, "STEAM is much more than an acronym for the five subject areas of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. . . it is a transformative approach to traditional teaching and learning that fosters creativity and innovative thinking in all students. " "Art and design are poised to transform our economy in the 21 st century in the same way that science and technology did in the last century, and the STEAM movement is an opportunity for America to sustain its role as innovator of the world. " - John Maeda, former President of RISD

What’s the Big Idea of this tour and workshop? Creative Problem-Solving STEAM Tour and Workshop Purpose Students will use the High’s collections as evidence of creative problem solving, learning directly from the objects about how artists create innovative solutions to complex problems. Essential Question How is an artist similar to a scientist? Similarities between artists and scientists: �Problem Solvers- explore ideas from different points of views �Creative Thinkers- imagine new ideas and try new things �Hands-On Learners- learn by investigating with tools, objects, and materials

The docent-led tour is organized into four categories: Resources and Nature – how did/do artists use the world around them to create works of art? Design and Structure – how did/do artists use design and architecture to solve problems in their works of art? Light and Color – how did/do artists use light and color theory to create works of art? Shapes and Patterns – how did/do artists use one-point, two-point, atmospheric, etc. perspective to create works of art?
