MESTD4120 Presenting art and culture for children, youth and learners  Course description

Emnet retter blikket mot alternative formidlingsarenaer for kunst og kultur i samfunnet. Emnet åpner for diskusjon og refleksjon over hvordan barn, unge og andre lærende opplever, sanser, forstår og reflekterer over kunst- og kulturuttrykk. Aktuelle samfunnstematikker og inkludering av kulturelle perspektiver er vesentlig i emnet. Emnet retter seg primært mot barn og unge, men innholdet vil også inkludere andre målgrupper. Slike målgrupper kan være flyktninger, mennesker med funksjonshemninger, innvandrere, eldre eller ulike utsatte grupper og miljøer. Faginnholdet er basert både på teknikker, teorier, metoder og innganger til formidling, og på målgruppens resepsjon som mottakelse, forståelse og refleksjon.
