Why I Started Art History For Real
Debbie Morrison: Course Creator and Art Guide
As an art-lover, former docent and museum educator, I saw how real people wanted to learn and engage with art yet couldn’t because of the barriers inherent to museums and cultural institutions. I decided to create a different experience for people to engage with and learn about art. Art History For Real was born! It's an online learning space that shares art and its stories through a modern lens with approachable, dynamic courses. My aim is that learners will experience art differently, and connect it to their own experiences and life! That's when art becomes relevant and real!
I've put my twenty-plus years’ experience in creating curriculum and learning strategies, Master’s Degree in Education, Certificate in Museum Studies and in-progress Master’s Degree in Modern Art History to work to create engaging dynamic learning experiences that are relevant and real.
I believe that art is fun, relevant and inspiring when it's experienced, not just consumed by passive looking! That is what Art History For Real aims to do, engage you in the story!
