Striking Gold

Striking Gold: Mining the Resources of the Crocker Art Museum

Striking Gold: Mining the Resources of the Crocker Art Museum, is an arts education resource for grades 4 through 12. Striking Gold enables educators to utilize artwork in the Crocker Art Museum’s permanent collection to teach the California State Content Standards in history, language arts and visual and performing arts. This site is designed to provide access to lesson plans, virtual tours of the Museum’s galleries, and activities such as ecards and zoomable images. The current set of lessons focus on the history, social science and visual arts standards, but look for future interdisciplinary lessons that utilize the language arts, science and mathematics standards.
