What happens when a teaching method designed around learning new technologies is applied to artmaking for teens in an art museum? How do technology and traditional artmaking techniques connect in the studio? What role does mentorship play? What happens to participants after they leave the program? These questions are central to this case study, which looks at the Teen Program at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut. The Gallery adopted Hanging Out, Messing Around, Geeking Out (HOMAGO) as the primary educational method for the program. HOMAGO is a free-choice method that allows teens to learn skills at their own pace through interactions with peers and mentors, rather than formal instruction. By creating spaces for groups to spend time together and experiment at their own pace, teens learned new skills through deep involvement in projects connected to their specific interests.
