Item The Path to Inclusivity and Accessibility: A Look into the Hillsborough County Public School Visual Art 1 Curriculum, and How it Affects Students with Visual Impairments(MAPC, The University of Tampa, 2021-08) Brownlow, Laura; Alisha Menzies, Ph.D.This study explored the relationship between the Hillsborough County Public Schools Visual Art 1 curriculum, and the unlikeliness of students with visual impairments participating in art elective classes across the county. Research was done through the autoethnographic narrative storytelling, of a volunteer’s experience working with students with visual impairments on arts and crafts. Along with autoethnography, an in-depth textual analysis was done on the Visual Art 1 curriculum. In this investigation the organization and language within the curriculum was studied. The results of this study connect the studied elements of the curriculum with themes of inclusivity, accessibility, assumed ability, and more. Theoretical, societal, and academic implications are discussed in the context of this research.Item Salvador Dali Museum and Accessibility: Accommodation, Universal Design, and a More Inclusive Museum Experience(MAPC, The University of Tampa, 2022-08-11) Mays, Jamie; Dr. Patrick SeickThere are centuries worth of disability history and a dozen types of institutions, activities, and policies available that could be used to conduct an analysis of accommodation, modern-day use of Universal Design (UD), and an accessible world. This study will focus on the status of participation, accessibility, and inclusion of art and museums. Specifically, looking at The Dalí Museum which is host to a collection of permanent work by Salvador Dalí and features a special, rotating, exhibit throughout the year. Salvador Dalí, as an artist, pushed the boundaries of art, was a leader, and major contributor to the Surrealist movement as it is known today. He was described as “genius” but, despite his contribution and talent, was ostracized by other artists in his time (Isbouts & Brown, 2021). The study of accessibility, and inclusion, for the participation of art museums will attempt to follow the example set by Salvador Dalí: analyze what is in practice, what can be reimagined, and design an experience that provides access to the cultural information of The Dalí Museum.
