Los Angeles Times: The Museum Takes a Field Trip to the Classroom

October 2007

This article reports that the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has begun what its leaders say will be a long-term campaign to help plant visual art instruction securely in county public schools. According to the article, the $1-million-a-year initiative will stay in the area for at least four years. The article cites a recent study by SRI which concluded that "arts education in California is plagued by a lack of funding, under-prepared elementary-level teachers, and inadequate facilities . . . and is often crowded out by other curricular demands."
