Teaching and Learning with Museum Exhibitions: Innovations across the Disciplines

About This Book

Teaching and Learning with Museum Exhibitions: Innovations across the Disciplines is a project of The Teagle Foundation grant Teaching and Learning with Museum Exhibitions: An Inter-Institutional Approach. The innovative project seeks to develop new best practices in exhibition-based pedagogy across the disciplines and to integrate them into the curricula of four collaborating institutions: Colgate University, Hamilton College, Skidmore College, and the University at Albany, State University of New York. It took place over the course of three academic years (Fall 2016 – Spring 2019), beginning with a pedagogical development program for faculty and culminating in a public symposium and this publication.

This publication is offered for free to read below.

Teaching and Learning with Museum Exhibitions: Innovations across the Disciplines
In the museum, there’s a pace you can accomplish that you can’t really get away with in the studio or classroom. It has to do with a very slow and close and more rigorous critical analysis in front of a work that has a certain level of completion and distinction you can’t do with a slide, you can’t do with projection, and you can’t even do with the work that the student made twenty minutes ago. And you have a staff of pros at the museum who can help you navigate that slow unpacking.

The background pattern is composed from the Tang dingbat, an abstracted diagram of the building. The four steps of the dingbat, like the four letters of Tang, symbolize thought, learning, and aspiration.
