Add Dale Chihuly and his Washington glassworks to the inventory of fantastic art designed by the master but carried out by the disciples.

Well, thank you for this article!

I’m so glad I took the time to read it.
Japanese couture designers are not my cuppa, but I find them quite interesting nevertheless, and this opens up so many new roads for the inquisitive mind…

Thanks Monica for this informative and insightful post, chock full of great tips. I am preparing to do some more teaching this year, as well as continuing as a guest lecturer in two universities and I found this useful and refreshing. Your students are fortunate to have you!

Excellent post! I think it is important to encourage your students to ask questions as well, or not hesitate to interrupt the lecture to go over a topic or theme for clarification. I thinks students are sometimes intimidated by their professors and the knowledge they possess that they feel they can’t ask questions about something they don’t understand. Create that trusting relationship from the get-go and students will be more apt to speak up. Teachers will also benefit from this symbiotic relationship by being “clued-in” to their teaching style, and can adjust their methodology from there.

Supplemental materials are also helpful. Have your students read about a topic BEFORE you teach it – that way, if your lecture is over their heads at least they know where you are coming from and have some base knowledge about the subject.

Comment on Museum Life: numbering objects by Rebecca

Hi Sarah,

Many thanks for your comment. Using an embossing machine is a great idea. It is always fascinating to know how other museums do things differently.

At my museum we actually use a really old embossing machine that embosses the number into a sheet of 100% pure alpha-cellulose paper (lignin- and acid-free, pH neutral) and then sew that onto objects. That way, there is no risk whatsoever of the ink transferring to the object.

such beautiful photography. I love learning about foreign culture and beauty, the fashion and the values… how cool that the women get to judge the men’s beauty.
