About the Course

The most resonant learning experiences happen when students can connect classroom content to the world around them. This course provides a methodology that uses accessible and relevant themes—rather than just dates and names—to organize learning about art. By adopting a thematic approach used by leaders in the field of museum education, you will learn to bridge the gap between modern and contemporary art and your students' lived experiences, making the classroom a space for creative big-picture thinking. You will gain the fluency to group works around powerful ideas such as Place, Identity, Society, and Transforming Everyday Objects. Whether you are looking for a pedagogical edge or seeking to revitalize your curriculum, this course equips you with the resources to create an inclusive, interdisciplinary environment. You will learn to facilitate connections that help students see art not as a distant subject, but as a vital tool for understanding their own lives and communities....

It was good. I'm not a lover of contemporary art but i found it challenging in a positive way. This course has taught me look at contemporary art in a different way.
