This thesis examines the Museum of Art of El Salvador (MARTE) and its art education programming to understand its role in community building and cultural revitalization efforts in post-war El Salvador. MARTE emerges onto El Salvador’s landscape showcasing the country’s artistic heritage while organizing art education opportunities for the capital city, San Salvador. After six weeks of onsite observations and interviews with museum staff and community members, this investigation explores how MARTE’s art education programming contributes to the development of a refashioned collective cultural identity and, as a result, reinfuses the value of art, cultural awareness, and solidarity back into the community. MARTE provides a beneficial model for understanding the complex relationship between Western-influenced cultural institutions and non-Western communities, and the challenges of placing value on arts education when greater social concerns (e.g., economic insecurity) prevail. / text

This paper demonstrates the overall success of bringing non-traditional audiences to a New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) exhibition, "Passionate Visions of the American South: Self-Taught Artists from 1940 to the Present." It also highlights the success of some of its public programs. However, the process of attracting these audiences to the museum falls short in its attempts at developing long-term relationships with NOMA. The first chapter provides historical background on NOMA and offers an overview of the "Passionate Visions" project. Chapter Two describes, in relative detail, the project's community outreach component and implementation of its public programs. It closes with an analysis of short range and long term impacts. The final chapter further analyzes the project experience, inclusive of the management style of the project director, issues surrounding conflict of interest and ethics, and the degree of NOMA's commitment, or lack thereof, to long-term non-traditional audience inclusiveness.

Este trabalho investiga os campos fronteiriços da arte, da arquitetura, e da expografia a partir da proposta museológica implantada no Museu de Arte da Pampulha em 2001. Procura traçar uma linha histórica da edificação, de seu funcionamento como Cassino da Pampulha, de 1942 a 1947, à sua inauguração como Museu de Arte de Belo Horizonte, em 1957, e seu funcionamento até os anos 2000. A pesquisa procura compreender as propostas de museu estabelecidas desde os anos 1960 até 2010, a partir da análise dos documentos históricos e das exposições realizadas, com foco no período entre 2001 e 2010, quando se estabeleceu um novo conceito para o Museu, tratando sobretudo de um programa expositivo em estreito diálogo com sua edificação. Entremeados à discussão desses projetos são abordados práticas, pensamentos e manifestações artísticas diretamente conectados às experiências artísticas dos anos 1960, que experimentaram projetos e situações site-specific e desmaterialização da arte. Primeiramente tenta situar a relação entre arte, arquitetura e paisagem no conjunto arquitetônico e paisagístico da Pampulha, e avaliar em que medida as edificações se relacionam e estabelecem diálogos com a arte. Analisa a arquitetura do Museu e sua função, levantando os problemas museológicos existentes. Passa, então, a uma análise de práticas artísticas experimentadas pelo Museu por meio da intervenção Territórios, em 1968, e da exposição Porto Pampulha, em 1990. Na sequência, apresenta o novo projeto curatorial e analisa as mostras realizadas sob a curadoria de Adriano Pedrosa e Rodrigo Moura e, em seguida, por Marconi Drummond, procurando traçar dois modos distintos de enfrentar as questões pertinentes à relação entre arte e arquitetura no Museu. Eis os modos de tratar a questão pela curadoria: através de um enfrentamento direto das obras com o espaço, com a produção e concepção de trabalhos site-specific comissionados pelo Museu, e por meio de projetos em que a relação é permeada por projetos expográficos que dialogam com a arquitetura, as obras e o conceito curatorial. Finalmente, procura destacar que o caminho da arquitetura para a arte contemporânea é um exercício de tensionar limites e conceitos modelados pela arquitetura moderna sem deixar de aderir a ela; e que, no caminho da arte contemporânea para a arquitetura, abrem-se perspectivas aos trabalhos que inevitavelmente têm que forçar fronteiras para reinventar espaços. / This essay investigates the borders where art, architecture and the expography meet based on the museological proposal undertaken at the Pampulha Museum of Art in 2001. It seeks to trace the history of its development, from the time during which it functioned as the Pampulha Casino between 1942 and 1947 to its re-opening as the Belo Horizonte museum of art in 1957 and its activities up to the 2000s. The research seeks to understand the proposals for the museum established between the 1960s and the year 2010, based on an analysis of historical documents and of the exhibitions held there, with a focus on the period between 2001 and 2010, when a new concept for the museum was established, consisting mainly of an expository program in close dialogue with its edification. Interspersed with the discussion of these projects, artistic practices, thought processes and manifestations directly connected to the artistic experiences of the 1960s, and that experimented with sitespecific projects and situations and the de-materialization of art, are discussed. It first attempts to situate the relationship between art, architecture and landscape in the overall architectural and landscape context of Pampulha, and assess to what degree the edifications relate to one another and establish dialogues with art. It analyzes the architecture of the museum and its function, raising existing museological problems. It then moves on to an analysis of artistic practices experimented by the museum through the intervention Territórios (\"Territories\") in 1968 and the exhibition Porto Pampulha (Pampulha Port) in 1990. After this, it presents the museum\'s new curatorial project and analyzes the exhibitions carried out under the curatorship of Adriano Pedrosa and Rodrigo Moura and, later, by Marconi Drummond, seeking to outline two distinct ways of confronting issues pertinent to the relationship between art and architecture in the museum. These are the ways of dealing with this issue established by the curatorship: by directly confronting the works with the space, with the production and conception of site-specific works commissioned by the museum, and through projects in which the relationship is permeated by expographich projects that dialog with the architecture, with the works and with the curatorial concept. Finally, it seeks to highlight the fact that the path from architecture to contemporary art is an exercise in the tensioning of limits and concepts modeled by modern architecture without actually breaking away from it, and that, on the path from contemporary art to architecture, perspectives open up to the works that inevitably have to push frontiers in order to reinvent spaces.

The author designs a traveling professional development opportunity, Pre-Exhibition Workshop, for the Springville Museum of Art (SMA) Educational Outreach Program. All Utah high school art teachers and their students are invited to attend one of twenty-five presentations throughout the state's school districts. This thesis examines the challenges and benefits of including students in the process of preparing their own entries for the 2014 42nd Annual Utah All-State High School Art Show. The curriculum for the workshop follows a new lesson plan model of including enduring understandings and essential questions as outlined by the 2014 National Core Art Standards. The question driving this research project is: Will the schools that participate in a pre-exhibition workshop be better prepared to submit quality entries into the 2014 42nd Annual Utah All-State High School Art Show and be more likely to schedule a field trip to experience the exhibition? To develop the SMA Pre-Exhibition Workshop, the researcher applies a case study methodology that includes some aspects of action research including planning, acting, reviewing, and revising. The collected data measures the effectiveness of this workshop by analyzing observation notes collected during the workshop, reviewing surveys completed by participating teachers, and comparing the SMA 2014 42nd Annual Utah All-State High School Art Show entry data with the data collected from the attendees of the SMA Pre-Exhibition Workshop. It was concluded that most schools participating stated that the workshop did benefit their students by helping them prepare to submit their own art entries. Of the students attending the workshop, none were disqualified from the 2014 42nd Annual Utah All-State High School Art Show due to rule infringements, and several of the participating schools went on a field trip to view the exhibition. In conclusion, the author recommends that the SMA Pre-Exhibition Workshop continue and suggests ways of improving the program's promotions, presentation, and data collection.

<p>The purpose of this paper was to analyse “Identity- about trademarks, signs and symbols”. The project was a co-operation between the National museum of Art and Stockholm School of Economics in the spring of 2002, which consisted of an exhibition, a book and a series of seminars. The goal was to illustrate how the trademark had developed through history, which role it has in the modern society and how the trademark serves as a creator of identities. The project, mostly the exhibition, was exposed to criticism, which was directed towards the sponsorship deals between The National Museum of Art and five companies.</p>

This thesis is a qualitative case study of a 5th grade field trip program at the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, Georgia. The value – educational, social, and otherwise – of direct experiences with artworks in the museum setting has been demonstrated in numerous studies (Adams & Sibille, 2005; Burchenal & Grohe, 2007; Burchenal & Lasser, 2007; Henry, 1992; Hubard, 2007), and the single-visit field trip program has been a staple of educational programming at many art museums across the United States. However, much of the recent literature in art education focuses on the benefits of multiple-visit field trip programming (Burchenal & Grohe, 2007; Burchenal & Lasser, 2007), in effect “abandoning” the single-visit program. Given that the single-visit field trip remains a standard in the field, this study sought to explore the ways museum educators can maximize the value of the one-shot field trip model in art museums. Through observations of a 5th grade class on their field trip to the Georgia Museum of Art, interviews with program stakeholders (including museum educators, museum director, the school art teacher, and program donor), and collecting the students’ perspective through written questionnaires, this study revealed insight into the one-visit field trip. An analysis of the various issues and perspectives involved with this type of programming substantiated the hypothesis that there is valuable information to be learned from looking closer at the single-visit program. The findings suggest that by situating itself authentically in its own community, the art museum can make single-visit field trip programs more relevant to students’ lives by employing culturally responsive teaching practices. / text
