Teaching in the art museum : interpretation as experience
Teaching in the art museum -- unlike any other publications currently available -- investigates the mission, history, theory, practice, and future prospects of museum education. This book will prove invaluable not only for all professional museum educators and volunteer docents but also for museum studies students, art and art-history teachers, curators, and museum administrators. The essays in this book -- each of which can stand on its own -- distill the author's decades of experience as practicing gallery teachers and observers of gallery teaching across the United States and abroad. In Teaching in the Art Museum Rika Burnham and Elliott Kai-Kee define and articulate a new approach to gallery teaching, one that offers groups of visitors deep and meaningful experiences of interpreting art-works through a process of intense, sustained looking and thoughtfully facilitated dialogue
