multimedia teaching materials


Multimedia teaching materials offer an interactive stroll through the “worlds” linked to the history of the collections. Historic texts, objects with commentary, and maps make it possible to consider these themes along artistic, scientific, or historical veins.
MULTIMEDIA PROGRAMS TO CONSULT:
- The museum of surrealists : The objects of the museum are evidence of another idea of art and beauty, their “strangeness” from the four corners of the world created surrealist artists and writers. This dossier highlights the link associating “first arts” to the Surrealists, who led art history of the 20th century to reconsider its own tenets.
- The explorers : For six centuries, men have circled the earth in the discovery of other peoples, civilizations, and cultures. Armed with your virtual planisphere, follow in the footsteps of Marco Polo, James Cook, Bougainville, Michel Leiris, or Mary Kingsley: lives to travel through.... : lives to travel through.
e-briefcase


The e-briefcase offers a body of documents that can be used as groundwork: to prepare a course, feed a debate, or serve as the basis for the work of students. It is also a space of dialogue and exchange, since your pedagogic efforts can be integrated into this tool.
E-BRIEFCASE NO. 1: SOME IMAGES TO THINK ABOUT THE OTHER, FROM THE MYTH OF THE GOOD SAVAGE TO THE COLONIAL EXHIBITION OF 1931
This version will allow you to use it even if not connected to the internet. You can also capture and use separately the different texts and images that make up the e-briefcase.
