Hands On Learning
Students through the Center for Teaching and Learning
JANUARY 16 ~ FEBRUARY 22, 2007
Orange Hall Galleries
Opening Reception: Wednesday, January 17, 2 PM - 4 PM with accompanying music provided by Joe Gattuso, guitarist; free and open to the public.
The exhibit is open 9am - 8pm Monday - Thursday and 9am - 5pm on Friday, as well as during events in Orange Hall Theater.
Hands On Learning is being presented by the Center for Teaching and Learning in cooperation with Cultural Affairs. SUNY Orange Associate Professor Maria Blon is the organizer. The month-long plus exhibit does just the opposite of what regular exhibits expect – instead of insisting that its viewers be just that and VIEW, Hands On Learning wants attendees to touch and partake of the projects in the show. This works very well with children and their families.
The exhibit consists of student-designed demonstrations, and illustrates concepts important to the field. The exhibits are “stand-alone” and have instructions or other written guides to understanding the demonstration, and require participation by the observer.
This exhibit, which is free and open to the public, extends through February 22, 2007 with hours 9AM – 8PM Monday through Thursday, and 9AM – 5PM on Friday, as well as during events in Orange Hall Theater. In addition to the regular hours, the exhibit will be open on Sunday, February 4, 2007 from 1PM – 4PM, during the performance of Dandelion in the Orange Hall Theater by the Paper Bag Players.
