Download or read book Adult Education Museums and Art Galleries written by Darlene Elaine Clover and published by Brill. This book was released on 2016 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about adult education in the sphere of public museums and art galleries. It aims to enrich and expand dialogue and understanding amongst adult and community educators, curators, artists, directors, and cultural activists who work within and beyond the walls of these institutions. The various chapters take up the complex and interconnected pedagogics of subjectivity, identity, meaning making and interpretation, knowledge, authority, prescription, innovation, and creativity. The contributors are a combination of scholars, professors, graduate students, heritage and cultural adult educators, artists, curators and researchers from Canada, United States, Iceland, England, Scotland, Denmark, Portugal, Italy and Malta. Collectively, they challenge us to think about the dialectics of passivity and engagement, didactics and learning, gender neutrality and radicality, and neutrality and risk-taking amongst a collage of artworks and artefacts, poetry and installations, collections and exhibits, illusion and reality, curatorial practice and learning, argument and narrative, and struggle and possibility that define and shape modern day art and culture institutions. The chapters, set amongst the discursive politics of neoliberalism and patriarchy, racism and religious intolerance, institutional neutrality and tradition, capitalism and neo-colonialism, ecological devastation and social injustice, take up the spirit and ideals of the radical and feminist traditions of adult education and their emphases on cultural participation and knowledge democracy, agency and empowerment, justice and equity, intellectual growth and transformation, critical social and self reflection, activism and risk-taking, and a fundamental belief in the power of art, dialogue, reflection, ideological and social critique and imaginative learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bonnie Sachatello-Sawyer and her co-authors have taken an important study and turned it into an intriguing, readable, and practical book. Adult learners provide a unique opportunity for museum educators. But what are adult learners looking for? What motivates them to take a class or attend a museum-sponsored activity? What do planners and instructors need to know to maximize the experience for participants? The authors analyzed a wide variety of programs from the perspective of planners, instructors, and participants. They discovered what works and what doesn't, and they've distilled this knowledge into twelve basic steps you can use to design truly meaningful experiences for your museum's adult programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Museum and Popular Culture We are apt to underestimate the importance of origins in appraising present-day institutions. We judge the development of museums as instruments for popular learning in science, in history, and in art as if the objective of widespread knowledge among the masses had always been an avowed aim of our culture. In historical fact, we have had less than two centuries of open acknowledgment of a general right of access to the uncensored tools of learning. In many fields, particularly those that touch upon the domain of theology or human biology, such freedom as exists for the untrammeled propagation of facts and opinions is of very recent origin. For at least ten centuries during the formative period of our Christian era, the widespread propaga tion of critical and factual information concerning man and his environment was not only physically difficult but also anathema to all the powers that ruled the community of Christendom.
