Students taking Humanities recently had the opportunity to visit the Dallas Museum of Art, to expose students to the struggles of art curation, which they will need to think about for their museum project.
“For the museum project we’re really focusing on trying to get our students to understand the current day challenges of museum creation,” Humanities teacher Sarah Wiseman said. “In the past students have just made a museum without thinking about that but now we’re really inviting them to think about the challenges of modern museum curation and the ethics behind that.”
Finding some things that could have been done differently, the curation of art in the Hinduism exhibit could have been better for sophomore Anagha Konuru.
“I liked the Asian exhibit, specifically the Hinduism exhibit,” Konuru said. “But I think they could’ve added some things that would have elevated it and made it an even better experience.”
The final museum project is set to be complete towards the end of the second quarter.
