For this Visualuzation, I wanted to find specific connections currently between my own pedagogy and MoMA, whether it is through exhibits, events, or other educational opportunities. I found that doing a concept map gave me an opportunity to find connections between things I did not immediately consider to be related. I also coordinated the information by color, with my own pedagogy practices in blue and MoMA resources/practices in red. The purple was then utilized to visually demonstrate the correlations between the two. I found looking more into resources and opportunities at MoMA to be extremely helpful and I already have specific exhibits/events I am interested in going to and possibly begin utilizing teaching practices from the museum into my own teaching. I feel that this map is a good starting off point in beginning my research in visiting the museum. Ultimately, I want to expand the map further to get more details as I go to the museum and further analyze the actual teaching methods they utilize to visitors.
Lindsay,
This is very relevant mapping of your current topic interest and your ecological pedagogy. I see this as a draft iteration for further development in terms of developing it as an arts-based practice. I encourage you to develop this with artistic intent and explicit coding processes to guide your composition. Recall/refer to some of the examples provided during winter session. Also push the unpacking process further – such as “PD’s” what constituted these events – this would add /develop further complexity among your topics. I encourage this complexity among all the nodal points you identified as seen in the “multicultural” extensions to particular countries – this is very broad and vague – this should then become even further specific and may be layers deep from country to region to cultural practices to contemporary artists to concepts explored by them.
So continue to iterate this and finesse the composition, unpack the topics further, generate intentional relationships, and work it through an arts practice.
