Click to Art / Creative Path to Knowledge
April - August 2018

With the end of August the five-month project Click to Art / Creative Path to Knowledge came to its conclusion. The project brought together Art History and Media Communications students at the University of Maribor with the work of UGM | Maribor Art Gallery and the Semantika commercial company. Eight students from the two university courses, guided by their professors and supported by UGM curators and IT professionals from Semantika managed to prepare 55 introductions of artworks by 17 different artists from the UGM Collection, their presentation at Musems.si and in the Galis database, i.e. in UGM Digital Inventory.

Students worked in stages, beginning with multiple visits to the gallery, where they got acquainted with selected works from the UGM's depos, through independent research of materials in the UGM library to preparation of short professional texts for the wider public and finally, public presentation of the projects results at the UGM on August 30th, 2018.
