Carnegie Musuem of Art is a catalyst for interdisciplinary learning

The museum serves as the expert in the case of an arts-infused curriculum, not only in terms of the actual artifacts, but also in the critical response of the artifacts. In other words, CMA's website includes interviews, gigapan pictures, and media clips, among other useful things, that enable the viewer to research their questions and produce informed opinions.
Beyond that, however, the museum staff brings the works to life... When students come for a field trip, they observe that art is a way of life, not just and "easy 'A'" or break from the rest of their school day. Rather, art is a business, a commodity, a commentary.
The museum also models, on a deeper level, many aspects of career training for students as well. Museum Educators and other employees are living demonstrations that careers in art span largely beyond that of artist alone. Furthermore, most artists in the Carnegie Inernational are alive and have had former careers or have current training in other fields.
The Ideas and Updates blog has great potential for curriuculum sharing and professionals who seek creative ways to develop their craft/subject and grow it into unique learning experiences.
In the future, I would like to see CMA approaching the adminsistrators within school districts as well as its work with teachers.
