30 Americans: An Inspiration for Culturally Responsive Teaching
Powell, Linda S.
Art Education, v65 n5 p33-40 Sep 2012
Art museums and other institutions of informal learning can promote multicultural understanding by collaborating with community ethnic groups and designing exhibitions that richly characterize the cultures they represent. Through the lens of educational programming for the exhibition "30 Americans," this article describes how both the Corcoran Gallery of Art and Corcoran College of Art and Design strive to engage with culturally responsive teaching through curriculum content and its delivery in a museum, school, and community-based programs. It also explores how a programmatic focus on contemporary art by people of color positively impacts the Corcoran's art education preservice programs. (Contains 8 figures.)
