The Sculpture Park as a Teaching Resource: Storm King Center, Mountainville, N.Y.
Holt, David
Art Education, v44 n5 p25-28,37-40 Sep 1991
Explains how proper preparation, including giving students specific tasks to accomplish, helps focus a museum or sculpture garden visit. Outlines two basic ways that a teacher might organize a tour: (1) by showing a progression from figurative to abstract sculpture, and (2) by discussing design concepts. Includes pictures of four sculptures, accompanied by instructional strategies. (KM)
