Museum Interpretation Practices

This course examines current interpretive practices and offers students the opportunity to participate in creating interpretation for the museum context. Questions of material and form, power and identity, models of attention and perception, the relationship between language and vision; and what constitutes learning through experience will be considered. Throughout the semester students will develop their interpretive practice through a series of workshops, exercises, site visits, and critical discussions. This course takes place at the RISD Museum.
