Asher: Seeing is Learning: Utilizing Instagram for Visual Culture Education, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Instagram isn't just for selfies and sunsets. With its endless scroll of visuals, it can be a powerful tool for art and visual culture education. Here's how to turn "seeing" into learning:
Turning Likes into Lessons: Curated feeds can be gateways to artistic movements. Imagine following a museum account showcasing Renaissance masterpieces, or a street photographer capturing social commentary.
Beyond the Pretty Picture: The key lies in context. Captions explaining an artwork's history and symbolism can unlock deeper understanding. Think of a captivating video about a modern dance performance wouldn't a behind-the-scenes glimpse be insightful?
Engagement is Key: Instagram's interactive features can foster learning. Imagine "story takeovers" by artists explaining their creative process, or polls asking users to identify artistic styles.
By harnessing Instagram's reach and tapping into its potential for engagement, educators and institutions can transform it from a fleeting feed to a springboard for exploration. So, next time you scroll through art on Instagram, remember a double tap can be the start of a lifelong love of visual culture.
