Museum2Schools History:
Acorn Making
Who: 3rd Grade/20 students
What: One hour workshop
Where: Your classroom
Trained museum Docents will come to your classroom to present the lesson. Students will learn about the Miwok Indians from our area and their primary food source, the acorn. With hands on materials, games and activities this central aspect of life comes alive.
Working with small groups of students, Docents will: Introduce the Museum and its exhibits relating to the First People of the area using photographs.
Explain the process of collecting and processing acorns using an art activity in which children put the process into the correct sequence.
Demonstrate the tools used to prepare acorns and give students the opportunity to handle acorns, crack them and pound them into meal.
Emphasize that the Miwok people are still living; they are a contemporary culture.
Play a game of chance widely enjoyed by Indian children in many areas called the Stave Game.
The Haggin Museum Curator of Education and Museum Docents created Acorn Making using the following California State Content Standards for Grade 3 History and Social Science:
Grade Three
3.2 Students describe the American Indian nations in their local region long ago, and in the recent past.
1. Describe national identities, religious beliefs, customs and various folklore traditions.
2. Discuss the ways in which physical geography, including climate, influenced how the local
Indian nations adapted to their natural environment (e.g. how they obtained food, clothing,
tools).
3. Describe the economy and systems of government, particularly those with tribal constitutions,
and the relationship to federal and state governments.
4. Discuss the interaction of new settlers with the already established Indians of the region.
To arrange for a Museum2Schools History Acorn Making program at your school, call the Curator of Education at (209) 940-6315 at least three weeks in advance of your desired program date. We can accommodate up to 20 students in each one hour long presentation. Teachers must remain present in the classroom.

Looking at Horses in Art

Looking at Horses in Art
Who: 3rd Grade/20 students
What: One hour workshop
Where: Your classroom
Trained museum Docents will come to your classroom to present the lesson. Students practice skills of artistic perception and aesthetic valuing, use critical thinking, and have a short drawing lesson. Working in small groups:
Docents introduce the theme of horses in art using images of selected paintings from the Haggin Collection and other museums. Docents lead students in an interactive discussion looking at thematic connections between various time periods and cultures and their own experiences.
Students sort hands-on art cards depicting horses created by artists of many historical periods and cultures using self determined categories and discuss their choices. This activity provides the opportunity to practice art-specific vocabulary and provide evidence for their assessments.
Docents lead students in a drawing lesson. Each student will create a drawing of a horse using a step-by-step method that incorporates practice with shape, line, and proportion.
Looking at Horses in Art was devised using the following California State Content Standards for the Visual Arts for Grade 3:
1.0 Artistic Perception
Students perceive and respond to works of art, objects in nature, events, and the environment. They use the vocabulary of the visual arts to express their observations.
1.4 Compare and contrast two works of art made by the use of different art tools and media.
1.5 Identify and describe elements of art in works of art, emphasizing line, color, shape/form, texture, space, and value.
3.0 Historical and Cultural Context
Students analyze the role and development of the visual arts in past and present cultures throughout the world, noting human diversity as it relates to the visual arts and artists.
3.1 Compare and describe various works of art that have a similar theme and were created at different time periods.
3.4 Identify and describe objects of art from different parts of the world observed in visits to a museum or gallery.
4.0 Aesthetic Valuing
Students analyze, assess, and derive meaning from works of art, including their own, according to the elements of art, the principles of design, and aesthetic qualities.
4.1 Compare and contrast selected works of art and describe them, using appropriate vocabulary of art
4.3 Select an artist’s work and, using appropriate vocabulary of art, explain its successful compositional and communicative qualities.
