Matthias Weischer: new work (November 26, 2011 – March 26, 2012)
Matthias Weischer: new work is the artist’s first one-person exhibition in the Americas. His recent prints and paintings present a multifaceted interplay between color, light, and form, and his curious, layered compositions of patterns, shapes, and objects in artificial settings engage the mind and the eye with their absolute virtuosity.
This is the second of three exhibitions the museum has organized featuring the work of artists active in Leipzig, Germany. In 2007-2008 the museum presented David Schnell: Hover, and our next project, scheduled for late 2013- Spring 2014, will be a traveling retrospective of the work of Neo Rauch. Major support for the present exhibition was provided by Coca Cola Puerto Rico Bottlers, and general support by Porsche.

Let’s read what teachers have to say about Learning from different view points
Como habíamos publicado anteriormente, el programa de Bellas Artes del Departamento de Educación de Puerto Rico, colaboró mano a mano con el Museo de Arte de Ponce para ofrecerles a los estudiantes, de las escuelas bajo el Programa de Mejoramiento Escolar, una experiencia educativa única.
Miles de niños visitaron Museo, recorriendo sus espacios y redescubriendo en varias obras de arte, secretos científicos, matemáticos y literarios. Destrezas como: identificar diferentes tipos de discursos escritos (descriptivos, narrativos y diálogos), reconocer el uso de lenguaje figurado, comparar entre figuras de dos y tres dimensiones, y el análisis de los efectos de la interacción ser humano con naturaleza, fueron reforzadas a través del contacto y estudio de la colección del Museo de Arte de Ponce.
Sin duda alguna, esta práctica educativa innovadora dejó su huella en la forma académica de todos aquellos que participaron de ella. Los maestros que nos visitaron así lo creen…veamos algunos de sus comentarios:
“Por primera vez involucran lugares culturales con la enseñanza para prepararlos en las destrezas necesarias. Por otra parte, sirve para fomentar el interés y el entusiasmo de los estudiantes.” – Esc. Alejandro Tapia y Rivera, Trujillo Alto.
“Es una excelente oportunidad para que los estudiantes aprendan sobre cultura y vean aplicado en el arte todas las materias académicas que diariamente se les imparte en las escuelas. Es importante también ya que se sensibilizan con la belleza, la dedicación de cada uno de los artistas que demuestran su talento, pero sobretodo, dan la oportunidad de recalcar valores positivos y las consecuencias de escoger aquella conducta que no es la mejor.”–Esc. Manuel González Pató, Ponce.
“Fue una experiencia muy grata y enriquecedora. Me encantó la integración curricular, la pertinencia que tiene el arte en sus vidas. Los felicito porque mantuvieron capturada la atención de mis niños y la mía personal. Gracias por tan excelente oportunidad y por la ayuda en la formación de ciudadanos integrales que aporten a nuestra sociedad.” – Esc. Felipe Colón Díaz, Juana Díaz.
“Muy importante integrar estrategias innovadoras y diferentes, además que sean pertinentes para nuestros estudiantes. Nos gustaría continuar teniendo la cooperación del museo y su personal educativo para poder hacer una mejor integración de las artes al currículo de matemáticas.” – Esc. Agustín Fernández Colón, Cayey.

El proyecto ofrecido por el Programa de Bellas Artes del Departamento de Educación de Puerto Rico, pretende servir de apoyo a aquellas escuelas que se encuentren en Plan de Mejoramiento Escolar a través de los servicios especializados del Museo de Arte de Ponce.
Los estudiantes y maestros participan de una de una experiencia 100 minutos. Durante la misma, los niños y jóvenes, de cuarto grado al duodécimo, participan de un recorrido guiado que les permite explorar la colección del museo mientras varias destrezas básicas son reforzadas: la geometría es estudiada en las formas que adornan nuestra arquitectura, la investigación científica descubierta en el minucioso proceso de restauración de la obra Retrato de un letrado eclesiástico de José Campeche y el uso apropiado de los idiomas son motivo de escrutinio frente a obras como Unicornio en la Isla xilografía de Lorenzo Homar e Isabella and the Pot of Basil, obra de principios del siglo veinte de Arthur Nowell.
