The Wellcome Collection Museum Analysis

The Heard Museum conveys the life and culture of Native Americans in the Southwest, with the help of pre-Colombian to contemporary art and a variety of traditional artifacts. Something that caught my eye was Rosie Yellowhair’s “Emergency Story” sandpainting. It depicts the Navajo creation story and how there were five worlds and what made the people move from the first world to the next. I thought that this was interesting because in class we talked about creation stories about Native Americans and I found those intriguing. So, seeing this sandpainting and knowing that its purpose was to tell its story of creation was astonishing because I’ve never seen a sandpanting that depicted a creation story.

Before I read this chapter, my understanding of garden is a resting place with flowers and bushes that surrounding by fence. Instead of flowers and bushes, homeless garden is build by largely random materials, such as toys and milk carton. It is not a traditional garden. In additional, it is a place of repose for homeless people or we can say it is temporary home for homeless people. Their home is deliberately constructed because homeless people want to live comfortably. That is why we called it garden.

“This is going to be so much fun!” I said. Me, my sister, and my two friends, Addison and Julia are avout to enter the Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum!

The Labelle Heritage Museum was founded to showcase to the world the rich history, culture and heritage of Labelle and its surrounding areas.

The Hill-Stead Museum displayed the large art collection of Alfred Pope and his daughter, Theodate Pope. Alfred was the owner of the successful Cleveland Malleable Iron Company, which is where he earned his fortune. They manufactured a modernized, stronger, form of iron and then began producing railway couplings to hold train cars together. The business was extremely successful, as was the owner, Pope. The building is grand and decorated lavishly, filled with valuable art from across the world. In this way, the museum shows how people benefitted from the Second Industrial Revolution, and the lifestyle of those who had money during that period of time. The Museum shows exactly how the wealthy of that period in time lived. From the dishes to

The New York Metropolitan Museum offers a vast variety of virtual tours which includes artistic exhibits from historic Europe. In addition to the multitude of current exhibits, the museum offers to the public for free, access to previous exhibits. The exhibit chosen for the tour, “Drawings and Prints: Selections from the Permanent Collection”, was presented from April 12 through July 18, 2016. The collection highlights not only American but also European prints, drawings, and books containing illustrations. Most of the art was available for viewing, and were displayed in the Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery, ranging from the Renaissance to the present. While some pieces were not on view during the exhibit,

The Museum of Fine Arts is one of the largest museums in the United States. Walking throughout the museum one will see more than six thousand years of history and about sixty four thousand works from six continents. Houston has one of the largest and most diverse art collection in the Southwestern United States. The main reason behind my museum choice is my love and fascination towards all the different art pieces from around the world.

In the Zimmerli Art Museum, I found the largest piece to be the Homage to Coco by Melvin Edwards in 1970. This piece really spoke to me as I felt it conveyed the core of figures, I felt that it described the way society takes everything for granted as the raw look of the chains and whatnot highlighted this. It reminded me of the well known “C’est ne pas un pipe”, similar to the homage to coco it emphasizes that not everything is at simple as it seems or looks the way it really is, to me this piece supported the Don’t Judge a book by its cover saying.

The power stories have to reveal the layers of humanity and create lasting impact on the world has always captivated me. That a series of words can bring a moment to life or expose a global issue. That a single image can bring you to tears or can change your entire world perspective. I remember growing up, reading books and magazines like National Geographic, learning about the world and the lives of people in far off places and seeing in the images something the words could never quite articulate. In my studies, I’ve pursued this fascination, developing the knowledge of how to share stories and events, to communicate ideas and experiences through both written and visual modes of expression.

Being at the Philbrook Museum with my classmates wandering the basement would end up with all of us alive and well. We would be scattered upon the floor, not really knowing where each other are, but we would easily find one another because we will all have the same plan of getting out of there. The use of our cellphones would really come in handy because we could play some bad music that might just make the mummies want to run the other way. If playing bad music does not work, I am sure the basement is also used as a storage for the museum, making it easier to find props that can be used as weapons.

In Haines and Hinterding’s display, a yellow coloured landscape presents a mystery world but brings full of imaginations like travelling in an outer space of Mars, which can be generated instantly. The first impression of seeing a huge screen projected is a pure video of an existed environment in the world – mountain and skies like watching a documentary, it continues to move and start revealing some three dimensional objected like cubes and spheres, the ground and the underground, traveling freely and infinitely; captured at a 720 degrees of sequence, and presented on two synchronized animations. The interaction from an audience standing at a specific area, using hand gesture like movement, navigating direction like using a map in the video, in real time in virtual reality, such as the Xbox 360 gaming

For our Knowledge Sites and Digitization project, we did short stories on, “The Shadow over Innsmouth” and “At the Mountains of Madness” by H. P. Lovecraft. Digital Humanities is known as a concentration of a specific area that you are researching and its intersection with technology and how we can use technology to study the disciplines of humanities which is the study of human culture. Our project fits into the description of digital humanities because it organizes the data in a structural form which is easy to access, organized in a logical manner and it has a broad audience not only who are interested in writings of H.P. Lovecraft, but also who are interested in the horror genre. Our project combines popular culture and Digital Humanities

In his essay, “The Re-Emergence of Emotional Appeals in Interactive Data Visualization”, Charles Kostelnick compares printed data to language by noting media’s limited ability to stimulate thought and send a relatable message. Kostelnick states these two modes of messaging can evoke empathy or fear in an audience, but for what purpose? As his essay unfolds, he makes it clear that messaging must be multi-faceted – implementing color, interactive elements and animations – to truly evoke a substantial response in the viewer. This dissection seems to parallel many elements and stylistic approaches film uses to captivate its audiences.

Much of media art offers radically different experiences for the viewer than we may expect from more traditional forms of art. Media art can represent temporal and spatial paramenters that can be changed to create

This use of parallax motion and depth is being used to innovatively explore objects, ornaments, artworks and furniture, not only in cultural heritage but in a variety of institutions. A cutting-edge example of how parallax scrolling can be used to display objects is Sony’s Be Moved (fig. 7). It is a detailed and technical website that pushes the boundaries of animation and parallax motion as cameras, laptops and other forms of technical equipment come apart and are re-built as the user scrolls, showing the intricacy and craftsmanship of the objects interiors. Metal, plastic and wires fly towards the screen with an
