Teaching & Learning
in Art Museums:
Plugged In
or
Unplugged?
Mike Murawski
Director of Education & Public Programs, Portland Art Museum
Founding Editor, ArtMuseumTeaching.com
something
i’d like to
ask you
When you visit
museums, are you more
like this ...
When you visit
museums, are you more
like this ...
or this
Let’s start with a quick look at how
PLUGGED IN
our experience with art can be today
Our museum experience may still begin with an encounter with a work of art
an artwork that intrigues us, catches our attention, or makes us ask questions,
like this installation by Maurizio Cattelan in the Lifelike exhibition.
Then our experience goes digital as we take cell phone photos and instantly begin to share
Outside of visiting a museum in
person, we can access museums and
their collections from any anywhere on
any device with ease. Museums now
go where you go.
Cleveland Art Museum, ArtLens& Gallery One project
How many of you are
thinking more like this
now?
It’s OK.
I won’t tell.
(I might Tweet about
it, though)
BUT WAIT,
what about this?
In 2012, LACMA hosted a conversation between the museum’s director and Archbishop Desmond
Tutu, a program entitled How to Be Happy, Change the World, & Embrace a New Way to Be Human.
“I need you to make me human,
and you need me to make you human.”
-Archbishop Tutu
Teaching and learning in art museums is about...
Slowing down, looking closely, and
seeing differently
Building community
Collaborating
Learning about each other
Teaching and learning in art museums is about...
Digging down deep inside and pulling out
our imagination & creativity.
Making, moving, interacting, and feeling.
And while it brings us in connection to artists & objects...
It is also about making them our own,
learning about ourselves, our society, our identity
and who we are as human beings.
And these things can all
happen without
technology.
If your museum lost
power, would you still
be able to provide
these core, human-
centered experiences?
Where does this leave us?
Plugged in? Unplugged?
Is there some balance? Can technology
support human-centered experiences?
a possible example...
3D Image Capture & Printing
3D image capture in the galleries using iPhones and mobile devices
3D printing at the Walters Art Museum
3D Hackathon at the Met has users manipulating objects to create composites.
This is obviously very plugged in, yet is also ...
• Collaborative, team-based
• Object-centered – involves slow, kinesthetic, close looking
• Brings in a very strong component of making/creating
• BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) – less dependent on museum tech
• Tactile product – total visitor ownership (make it their own)
Where does this leave us?
How do we strike a
balance?
maybe we end up somewhere like this...

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Last year, LACMA hosted a conversation between the Museum’s Director and Archbishop Desmond Tutu; a program entitled How to Be Happy, Change the World, & Embrace a New Way to Be Human. First, of all, it is simply amazing and worth noting that this type of dialogue would occur at an art museum, and I think we all know for good reason. The conversation centered on spiritual paths to being more human, and connecting with the world and others in meaningful ways that bring about profound world change, like ending apartheid.  Archbishop Tutu stressed the importance of listening, and making decisions to connect with others in human interactions each and every day. And he made a rather profound statement. He said:“I need you to make me human, and you need me to make you human.”
