Why Arts Matter in Education
The arts have a way of reaching students that traditional methods often cannot. They spark creativity, foster emotional growth and strengthen critical thinking. Brittny Bevel, Head of Guided and Gallery-Based Learning at the Tampa Museum of Art, says it best: “Even a single museum visit has a profound impact on students' academic performance and cognitive development.” A 2018 study by the National Art Education Association revealed that art-based experiences build skills essential for success in today’s world—skills like critical thinking, emotional awareness and creative problem-solving.
Inspiring Creativity Through Immersive Art Experiences
At FloridaRAMA, we believe in the magic of discovery. Our field trips are not just a visit to an exhibit; they are bold and immersive adventures that inspire students to see the world more colorfully. Through interactive displays, engaging stories and hands-on activities, students learn to analyze, reflect and make personal connections with art. These experiences align with classroom goals while offering something much deeper—a chance for students to think critically and creatively in ways they’ll carry with them.
Building Critical and Emotional Skills Through Art
Art has the power to transform how students approach challenges. By critiquing and discussing works of art, students learn to think critically and collaborate with peers. Brittny Bevel highlights that programs like ours meet the Sunshine State Visual Art Standard, emphasizing that “the processes of critiquing works of art lead to the development of critical-thinking skills transferable to other contexts.” At FloridaRAMA, we see these moments every day as students engage with art and each other, gaining insights that extend well beyond the classroom.
Connecting Students to St. Petersburg’s Cultural Scene
St. Petersburg’s vibrant cultural scene comes alive for students during our field trips. FloridaRAMA’s exhibits are carefully designed to spark curiosity, tell a story and encourage a lifelong love of the arts. Whether students are exploring local history through art or diving into experimental and technological works, they leave with memories and lessons that resonate far beyond the experience's walls.
