On Thursday, February 12, 2026, our 6th–8th grade art students stepped outside the classroom and into the inspiring world of the Akron Art Museum. This visit offered a powerful extension of our curriculum, giving students the chance to experience art in ways that challenge, surprise, and deepen their understanding of creative expression.
During a guided tour led by the museum’s knowledgeable docents, students explored a variety of acquired works that pushed them to consider how artists use their voices to address real‑world issues.
Exhibits highlighted themes such as environmental concerns, mental health, domestic violence, and philanthropy—showing students that art is not only something to look at, but something that speaks, questions, and advocates.
Students were actively engaged throughout the visit, participating in thoughtful discussions and hands‑on activities designed to help them connect personally with the artwork. These cultural experiences play an important role in helping young people build awareness, empathy, and confidence as they navigate unfamiliar environments and perspectives.
This experiential learning opportunity encouraged students to think beyond the textbook and begin forming their own answers to a timeless question: What is art? We are proud of the curiosity, respect, and insight they demonstrated during this meaningful day of learning.
