Module 3: Research STAKEHOLDERS
LEARNING GOAL
– Facilitator
Teens take a deep dive into specific works and practice talking about these works with authority to demonstrate their expertise and perspective. By beginning to build their own tours of the museum, they are able to learn about building narratives and insights across works. At the same time, they are introduced to the works that they will work with for their own exhibit. They explore some of the themes and artists that are central to the collection they will be working with.
– Museum docents – STEAM team
EXPERIENTIAL GOAL The group is more comfortable in the museum and looking at and talking about art. In this module, the teens go deeper to explore how art connects to them as individuals, and the potential impact art can have for people.
