The UW Art Museum plays a vital role in undergraduate and
graduate instruction at the University of Wyoming. For the spring semester of 2013, the Art
Museum will initiate a teaching gallery model in the Pat Guthrie Special
Exhibitions Teaching Gallery. Works of
art selected with faculty members for specific courses are installed and
available to students throughout the semester for use during the museum’s
public hours.
Four classes will be using the teaching gallery the first semester:
History 4496/5496 – History of Mexico; Art 3510
– Printmaking I; Art 2265 – Photography I; and Art 3720 – Medieval/Islamic Art
History.
The new installation is divided into four sections, one exhibition
per wall, with didactive information. While
the gallery is designed to meet the needs of the academic community, it is also
open to the public in order to demonstrate connections between the Art Museum
and teaching across the curriculum, supporting UW’s academic mission.
