Sarasota Art Museum is Ringling College of Art and Design’s dynamic laboratory for the exploration and advancement of contemporary art. Sarasota Art Museum’s field trip program is designed to integrate visual art into the classroom and enhance student literacy, critical thinking, observation, and communication skills through museum visits, classroom resources, and art making. Sarasota Art Museum Tours introduce students to original works of contemporary art, a range of media and processes, and related vocabulary for the purpose of broadening students’ understanding of artistic concepts, increasing comprehension of visual vocabulary, developing art-making skills, and building student self-confidence and communication skills.

The Educator’s Guide is designed as a resource to facilitate the exploration of artistic concepts with elementary school students before and after their museum visit. Through these open activities and questions, your students are encouraged to observe closely and think critically, so they can express their ideas confidently and creatively about any work of art. Our visits and resources are carefully designed to inspire curiosity, imagination, and understanding, as well as cultivate in our little learners an appreciation for contemporary art.
Creation Lab is a series of visits that makes interdisciplinary connections between visual art and English language arts. The activities are compatible with Florida curriculum standards.
Students will explore elements of art and the relationship between color, shape, size, and space in artworks.
Students will develop language by expanding their vocabulary and expressing their ideas about art fluently and imaginatively.
Students will develop visual literacy and critical thinking skills through collective reflection and interpretation.
