International Teacher Education Conference 2014
Expected results
We expect student enjoy the " dip " in the entire process , developing a deeper relationship with these works
of the Gallery that will give them and learning about literary movements. In addition, we aim to introduce the
student to the world of the art of painting and involved them with it (critics, buyers, sellers etc.). In this way, the
art market is connecting with real life. Through this step, we will achieve even the biggest "bonding" between
the members of each group creating an atmosphere truly artistic.
Recommended time: 15 - 20 minutes
Links to other activities
Can be combined with the second group or with activities of comparison
Comparison activities
Main purpose
To develop the synthetic and analytical thinking, sharpen their observation, broaden their knowledge.
Links to other activities
This type of activity will not be analyzed separately, simply because it can be incorporated into any of the
preceding groups as an activity with a greater degree of difficulty.
Suggested comparisons:
Girl by G. Avlichos - head of his daughter Gyzis .
Daughter’s head by Gyzis - literary texts are proposed in which the girl of the painting portrait could be heroine.
Any portrait can connect with a framework of school literally book. We give 2-3 portraits and a particular
literary text. Students must choose three paintings to depict the story of literally text and to match paintings with
the atmosphere of the text.
Another way is to give students an excerpt from a literary work and ask them to choose some paintings to '
illustrate ' it.
CONCLUSIONS
Regarding to education matter, stakeholders, more and more pressingly, are invited to meet the needs of
preparing young people for the Information Society which they will become productive members. Abilities such
as searching, research and recording of information, organizational and communication skills, management
experience and experiential collaborative ability are vital areas of development (Spathari - Begliti : 215 ) . The
shaping of personality is in need of new smooth and deep relationship with cultural property and cultural
heritage in general. In these double scopes, collaboration school - museum is necessary. School and museum are
factors of learning process, two opposed doors to knowledge ( Kakourou - Years: 12) .
Museum education science, exist to serve the goals of modern school that seeks different roads on teaching.
Modern museum through its educational role, aims not only to this role, but also to the social and recreational
character. Surveys about public museums showed that young visitors, as students, which came in contact with
museums , came back to museums as adults.
This program was designed for the branch of the National Gallery of Athens located in K.Korakiana in Corfu
Island. The activities were designed based on the general principles of educational programs and concerning
about the possibilities offered this Gallery and the needs of the official school program. Activities promote
knowledge through experiential teaching and an enjoyable process in a space that is not the traditional
classroom. Also aim to succeed communication and entertainment between the members of each group. This
program design want to succeed a total interactive experience in the model of Falk and Dierking, combining
personal context of each visitor (knowledge, experience ) with the social features of each person and museum
physical space ( Economou 2003: 84 ). The activities are easily adaptable to the characteristics of the group will
visit the museum and it is not necessary to be used in their entirety turning museum visit into a painful physical
and mental process for visitors.
