Stacy Fuller(February)
I am the Director of Education at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. In this role, I work with a talented team of fifteen museum educators to ensure the development, execution, and evaluation of the Amon Carter’s mission-focused educational programs and resources for various audiences. With experience as a museum registrar, in curatorial work, and designing professional development programs for educators, I have a passionate love for works of art and also accessibility—making sure that visitors of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities are able to enter, access, and engage with museum collections.

There is a thought process called “thin slicing”. Described in Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Blink, simplified, it involves making quick or snap judgments about something. In this case, using thin slicing, you are going to take a look at the following two pictures:
Pic 1 – Henrico County Public Schools Central Office lobby without any student art on display
Pic 2 – With student art
What is your initial reaction to picture 1? Picture 2?
Post your reactions.
