Content Curation

Content curation is the gathering, organizing and online presentation of content related to a

particular theme or topic. In these exercises, the class will be curating a collection of related

materials by selecting content to share. The collection will be built around ideas drawn from the

curriculum.

The term public art properly refers to works of art in any media that have been planned and

executed with the specific intention of being sited or staged in the physical public domain,

usually outside and accessible to all. Monuments, memorials and civic statuary are perhaps the

oldest and most obvious form of officially sanctioned public art. Public art is not confined to

physical objects; dance, procession, street theatre and even poetry can be considered part of

this style. Source (Links to an external site.)
