Geometry and art: Art museum visit: This lesson is the second in a three-part unit integrating math, writing and visual arts. In this lesson students apply their knowledge of geometry by sorting, classifying and counting plane geometric figures during a visit to the art museum to look at and compare twentieth- century paintings. Students then collect data and share what they observe.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Visual Arts Education and Mathematics); By Loretta Hopper.

Geometry and art: Art museum pre-visit: This lesson is the first of a three-part unit integrating math, writing and visual arts. In this discovery learning activity, students look at and compare two works of art. The paintings are quite different, but they contain many examples of geometric shapes. Students then complete a comment sheet, explaining what is similar and different about the works of art. This lesson can be used alone or used to prepare students for an art museum visit.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1–2 Visual Arts Education); By Loretta Hopper.
