Dear All,
I've been asked to create an educational programme for a big Greek museum.
Since it's my first time, any advice would be grateful. Its audience will be
10-18-year-old students and it should last about 60-90 mins, excluding the
creative, practical part. Its content are the paintings, drawings etc of a
certain floor of the museum, covering the first 100 ys of modern Greek
painting and life (from the formation of the Greek state around 1830
onwards) mostly by Greek artists, but also by some foreigners, in the first
part of that period. The works are displayed amongst contemporary historical
exhibits and the programme itself should not be plain art history. The works
cover a variety of themes and styles.
I've spent a lot of time and energy studying art and history of the period
in question, but I have almost no clue how to turn this in an educational
programme, what works to choose and how to combine them... A quite large
part of the audience doesn't have the related historical, not to mention
art-historical background, and the museum's attitude is to focus on the
"basics", with few names, terms and dates, anyway.
If all this sounds complicated or vague, I'd just like to know how you go
about choosing what to include in an educational programme.
Thank you in advance.
Anastasia Fotopoulou
