1.3 Museums as constructors of knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
In this section, we look at museum exhibits and how they have changed from fairly passive and static forms of media, such as text and images, to much more interactive forms of media, allowing for a more active process of knowledge creation than before.
The underlying pedagogical principles behind this shift are based on constructivist and constructionist learning theories of the educational philosophers Jean Piagetand Seymour Papert, who argue that children construct knowledge through their interaction with the outside world..

DANIELA: Keeping in mind the importance of intercultural learning nowadays as presented so eloquently in our Tuesday's webinar, imagine the following scenario: in a museum, art that was created or donated by immigrants is removed from view to allow visitors to focus on what we lose when we lose immigrants; how do you think you and your students would feel while visiting such a museum, and why? Please answer as a reply to this post, thank you.

It isn't often that an exhibit at an art museum focuses on the absence of art. But that's exactly the point of a new exhibit at the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, where art - specifically art that was created or donated by immigrants - has been removed from view to allow visitors to focus on what we lose when we lose immigrants.

The exhibit, which will run through the long President's Day weekend, is called "Art-Less." According to the museum, the intent is to "demonstrate the critical role that immigrants to the United States have played in the arts, both in their creative contributions as well as their stewardship of the visual arts."

For the exhibit, museum curators have removed 120 pieces of art - roughly 20 percent of the displayed collection - from view. For the next week, the art pieces will be removed from the walls or covered with shrouds, and replaced with placards indicating that they were made or donated by immigrants.

"Art-Less demonstrates in stark and indisputable terms the impact of immigration on our collections," said Lisa Fischman, the museum director.

The art pieces that have been removed from the exhibit include paintings by Willem de Kooning and Hans Hoffman, as well as a portrait of President George Washington by the Swedish artist Adolf Ulricertmüller (above right).

The Art-Less exhibit will be on display - or rather not on display - through Feb. 21.
