Abstract
In my dissertation, I am mainly interested in the process of artwork interpretation.I explore this process especially in the relationship between the student/viewer, the teacher/gallery, lecturer/parent and the unique artwork itself. Visual studies and theory of art education are the professional discourse that guide my research.
I am concerned with the didactic level of the teacher/lecturer/parent accompanying the student in a gallery. I focus especially on the process where the interpretation appears.
I am also interested in who creates this single interpretation. What is the space for pupils' voices and their empirical viewership? What is the difference between the student's and the expert's interpretation, where the experts are a team of professional art historians, curators, etc.
At the same time, I deal with the gallery as a specific viewers' space. The paper is based on a concept of gallery and museum education.
The key concepts of the discourse approach are presented in the publication Gallery and Museum Education 1 and 2 by M. Fulková et al.
