BY

LAURA

LOPEZ,

DANNY

DANEAU,

SUSAN

MERRILL

ROSOFF,

AND KRISTIN G. CONGDON

Some

art

can seem so

far removed

from

our

everyday

experi

ences

that

it

is hard

to

understand.

Contemporary

art

and

art

from cultures

foreign

to

our

own can

be

especially

difficult.

In

2006,

using

the iPod

as an

educational

tool,

University

of

Central Florida

(UCF)

graduate

film students

Laura

Lopez

and

Danny

Daneau worked with artistEdouard

Duval-Carri?,

UCF

professor

Kristin

Congdon,

and Orlando Museum of

Art

education

curator

Susan

Rosoff,

to

develop

short

video

clips

that

were

used

to contextu

alize his exhibition

at

theOrlando

Museum

of

Art

(OMA).

This article

explores

some

of the

ways

that

technology

is

being

used

to

enhance

educational

programs

in art

exhibitions

and how

Lopez

and

Daneaus

videocasts

might

be used

to

help

educate

viewers

about

art.
