| 释义 | Brown, Alice Van Vechten American educator born June 7, 1862, Hanover, New Hampshire, U.S. died October 16, 1949, Middletown, New Jersey art educator known for initiating art history programs in American colleges and universities. Brown studied painting from 1881 to 1885 at the Art Students League in New York City, intending to become an artist. She changed her focus to teaching and became assistant director of the Norwich (Connecticut) Art School in 1891. There her laboratory method of teaching attracted attention: to sharpen their powers of observation, students drew and modeled representations of the art they studied. In 1897 Brown took a position at Wellesley (Wellesley College) (Massachusetts) College, where she reorganized its art program and introduced her laboratory method. By 1900 Wellesley was offering the country's first major course of study in art history. While at Wellesley, Brown also introduced the first course in museum training (1911) and sponsored the first course ever given in the United States in modern art (1927). Her writings include, with William Rankin, A Short History of Italian Painting (1914). |
