One way
that teachers can use technology to take advantage a field trip to Art Prize,
or any other type of field trip, is to get the students interested and engaged
before you even leave for the field trip. There are a few different ways that
teachers could do this.
One
option would be to preview parts of the field trip, in the case Art Prize,
beforehand. Once the teacher has seen many of the exhibits, they can create a pre-field
trip presentation of a couple of the exhibits. Teachers could set up the
presentation as a sort of “I Spy” activity, where they crop a picture of one of
the exhibits, and just show the students a piece of the art (they could also include
a picture of the whole exhibit if desired). When the students go on the field
trip, you can have them search closely to find the art piece(s) that you showed
beforehand. This could help the students to pay more attention to the exhibits
while they are walking around.
Here are
two exhibits a teacher could easily do this “I Spy” activity with:

Another thing teachers could do to get students interested is
to either show clips of artists talking about their work in Art Prize, or even
creating the actual exhibit!
