What is it about?
- MMT allows children to experience the line, shape, volume, and kinetic energy of museum objects.
- Not about reacting to museum object, but interpreting object.
- Tool for learning expands the museum audience base to include the kinesthetic learner
- And tool for communication provides the museum visitor with another dimension to create meaning and understanding for museum objects
5 concepts
- Mirror-realistic or animate museum object- duplicated museum’s object with bodies- FROZEN POSE
- Alive- realistic or animate museum object- create movements inspired by lines and shapes of the museum object- POSE AND THEN MOVEMENT
- Map- abstract or inanimate museum object- finds children reading the different lines and shapes of museum object with their bodies- TRACE LINES AND SHAPES
- Express- abstract or inanimate museum object- encourages children to convey the emotional impact of museum object’s line and shape- USES MAP with 1,2,3 cue, but asks for interpretation
- Composition- used with realistic/animate or abstract/inanimate museum objects- challenges children to work together to sequence movements portraying spatial concepts (line and shape) and expressive (emotive and descriptive) qualities- MANY SHAPES- worked out as groups
