Comparison and Critique: Activity 1
Within a limited time frame, get pupils to cut and paste drawings, digital photos and notes recorded at each site. Pupils should recognise themselves as methodical collectors and sorters of information to be analysed and interpreted later on. When done, reflect on the table. Draw out complexities that the table does not account for... what sub-sections can we add - atmosphere, sound, colour, entrance/staircase etc.? Use marker pens to add ideas to collage. Discuss: Do the general public notice these things? Does Tate encourage the public to notice these things? How important are these things? To what extent do they affect our experience of the museum/gallery? To what extent do they affect our experience of looking at art? Record pupils' observations in journals. Discuss: What is an institution? Draw up ideas (aim to broaden understanding of the term from hospitals and 'mental' institutions, to corporate office buildings, museums and even schools). Add the word to the glossary. Introduce artists whose work challenges the conventions of museums, galleries and other institutions. Artists find them interesting places and subject matter because, as we have seen, they are full of things which powerfully affect our behaviour and experience there, though this is rarely spoken about. They have been 'critical' of these institutions, and therefore their work is sometimes known as 'Institutional Critique'. (Explain the term 'critical', and add to the glossary). Resources
