TAG


1.     Many museum professionals often talk about the importance of education. This usually includes programming for local school children. The Indianapolis Art Museum is now hosting a new program called TAG. It incorporates hands on activities to teach the fundamentals of art to children. My question is at what age is this time and effort of programing beneficial? Is there a specific age that students are able to absorb the material? I am aware that instructed are tailoring these lesions based upon age, but it makes me wonder if holding off on these programs will free up funding for a more beneficial expense. This isn’t to say that I don’t believe in funding education programs. However, perhaps there should be an age at which student being access to these limited resources.
