Museum theorist and pedagogists stress the importance of developing strategies and approaches that foster interest, and motivate students to learn and experience artworks, in order to lead effective tours for school groups. This thesis is a qualitative investigation that studies what affect the implementation of several touring strategies and approaches had on students’ learning and enjoyment in the gallery setting. The participants were students at 4-12 grade levels who received tours of exhibitions of contemporary art presented by the Wexner Center for the Arts, at the Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio. Through narrative, I describe how creating a comfortable learning environment, and using active-learning situations, helped increase the effectiveness of the tours I gave to student groups. The affects include high levels of participation in looking at, talking about, making meaning of artworks, and learning about artworks while having enjoyable experiences. 2004 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1406885494 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1406885494 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
