"I See History and the Future": Memory Loss, Art Education, and Online Learning
Oakman, Rosemarie; Blandy, Doug
Art Education, v74 n4 p13-15 2021
Reflection and Connections at the University of Oregon (UO) Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) like all educational offerings at the UO, moved online with just over a week's notice. Those associated with Reflections and Connections, recognizing the importance of this program to the social well-being of those participating, decided to maintain the program by offering it online. Reflections and Connections became an ongoing case for discussion within Cultural Programming. During the spring 2020 term, five consecutive Reflections and Connections sessions on Thursday afternoons occurred over Zoom. Each hour-long thematic session included creative and inquiry-based conversations on a series of artworks from the JSMA collection. Continuing the Reflections and Connections program online allowed community cultivation and arts access during a time of social isolation for older adults experiencing memory loss. Given that older adults experiencing memory loss will participate in virtual programming for the foreseeable future, systematic research associated with this type of program should be a priority within the field of art education.
