Dave,
I think this is a great way to facilitate the project, especially in these early stages of concept development. I'll respond in order:
The elements of the museum collection that you mention are great. The idea of working with meaning in art-making really does indicate a bias toward Modern and contemporary collections. I do like, however, that we can maybe look at ways of connecting to earlier and non-Western works also, so I'm glad the first floor remains viable.
The GLE's are important for us to work with as they will become more and more vital to our curricular connections in the District. (How wonderful that it all seems to fit together so seamlessly!)
As for the format of the original document: it was easy, it was created in Word, and I can send you a copy of the file if you want to use it as a template.

I'm on board with that twist. And frankly, the whole idea of the viewer as "having completed the work" is a very Post Modernist concept. (Think: Ken Aptekar, Robert Rauschenberg, and even the wily old father of Post Modernist thinking, Duchamp.) It will be important for participants to respond both visually AND verbally: word and picture is the essence of visual culture. And that, in and of itself, is an implicit acknowledgment of precisely HOW today's learners are visually informed. Tasty ideas, indeed!
