Ways of Looking II: Teaching with Objects as Primary Materials

Sheridan Center for Teaching & Learning

How can objects be examined as primary sources? How can students become aware of subjective biases within visual representations? What are the advantages or disadvantages of visual versus written representations? Investigate the use of objects in the RISD Museum to explore historical moments. Participants will look closely at an object with museum educator Jackie Delamatre (Brown '02), adjunct assistant professor in Public Humanities at Brown, and reflect on how similar strategies can be applied in their courses.
