| dc.description.abstract | This project explores the potential of public art museums in the San Francisco Bay Area to act as more effective teaching resources for university faculty teaching undergraduate students in the liberal arts. It is based on the idea that art museum objects have direct relevance to courses across the liberal arts college curriculum, and driven by the fact that educational outreach from public art museums is heavily weighted in favor of K-12 students. The Bay Area was selected not only for its proximity to the author's home, but for its copious examples of both public art museums and teaching-oriented universities. The issue of curriculum is central to this work, as curriculum bridges museums and universities--both institutions of higher learning--and connects them through common educational missions. For the purposes of this project, curriculum is defined as the predetermined set of concepts and ideas to be communicated in a learning environment-- in other words, the cumulative content of a course, rather than the way it is taught. This project focuses specifically on how to integrate a first-hand encounter with art objects into a text-based curriculum, or courses that are driven by readings, text, and narrative. | |
