When designing interactive exhibits, designers and museum experts usually utilize discovery and constructivism as pedagogies to construct interactivity in the context of the museum. In modern museums, these two pedagogies work together to promote the construction of meaning. Compared to the didactic expository model (when the visitor can only receive information passively) and stimulus-response model (when the visitor can only stimulate one correct answer to get response), the discovery approach empowers the visitor to explore open-ended results. The focus is on exploration rather than on getting the right.

It is difficult to learn about art without references to the visual aspects of art as people strive to express their feelings and ideas.

I first found out about the place thanks to Microtel’s media tour around Quezon City while staying at Microtel Acropolis, and found myself going back with my family a few weeks later to share the fun. The place is relatively new, having opened just last December 2014, but word has spread around and it’s become a popular place to spend an afternoon taking photos of each other. I deliberately included only a few photos in this blogpost, as its best if you experience the place for yourself.
Visiting Art in Island is a fun, family-friendly activity that’s an alternative to going to the mall or watching a movie. Unlike typical serious museums, this one allows you to go trigger-happy with the photos. You get to unleash your creativity when it comes to posing. Plus, you end up with lots of cool photos.

In 1915, Australia’s official war correspondent, Charles Bean, travelled with the AIF to the Western Front. The hardships of Australian soldiers, particularly in the battle of Pozieres, effected in Bean’s determination in the idea of creating a memorial museum dedicated to Australian soldiers in remembrance of their trials in WW1 and how faithfully they served their country, even in their dying moments. Roles of Charles Bean and John Treloar Charles Bean and John Treloar are known as the ‘founding fathers’ of the AWM.

For people, especially younger children, a way to feel a strong connection to the past is through objects that representation of that time in history. For example, after my grandmother passed away, I received one of her many rosaries, allowing me to remember our bond and the influence she had in my life every time I hold her heirloom. In today’s world, one of the only places in which a person is able to see historic artifacts and feel the connection to the piece of history that it represents is a museum. With the vast amounts of electronics available to the public, people, especially of a younger age, find less time to visit a museum and to learn about their heritage. The results of nationwide poll conducted as a part of the survey of public participation in the arts shows that “21% of adults in 2013 visited” an museum, which is drastically lower than previous nears and is predicted to continuously drop

The Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace is a unique destination in the Orange County area, since it is one of only 13 presidential libraries dispersed throughout the United States. I came here last Thursday (01/21/2016) with my boyfriend. We arrived around 12:30 pm and it was pretty quite. For a small admission fee (because we brought our student IDs, we got a discounted admission price), we could get free reign over the entire property.

Paintings, prints, drawing, crafts, photography are all forms of art which many artists specialize and utilize to display their creativity, sometimes bring awareness to certain social issue and also exploit the less fortunate for their fame. Some well-known artists like Vik Muniz in the
This is just one factor that affords me to have a perspective from a different cultural background. A goal for myself after completing this graduate program is to become a multiculturally competent counselor who can truly connect with people of various cultural backgrounds. Visiting UCLA Fowler Museum, I found that the connection weaving between one culture to another is that the motif behind the objects are somewhat similarly valued culturally in each country. Hence, the name of the exhibition Intersections for in “many ways the objects conceptually intersect with each other”. In each culture from the varying countries of Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas, artistic objects play a significance in passing down traditions and teachings from one generation to another.
Response paper #1 Recently I took a tour of the James E. Lewis Museum of art located in Baltimore, MD. This museum is a part of Morgan State University fine arts building.

Visiting museums is always fun for many people, especially when you are a little kid. You get to see all kinds of different historical works done by the people from the past and present. I recently haven’t been to any museums since I was little, until I got to visit one for this course. For this Action Research Project Paper, I visited Dallas Freedman’s Memorial located in Dallas, Texas. Dallas Freedman’s Memorial is one of the most beautiful museums and quite depressing at the same time.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum showcases Mrs. Gardner 's collection to the public in greater Boston area. Each room functions as a pilgrimage, as one travels through various countries and time periods ending at the chapel and subsequently the Gothic room. In this paper, I will examine the Gothic room 's theme in relation to the placement of its objects. I will also evaluate the room 's strengths and challenges in serving the public, and how the practices employed in this room fit into the context of accessibility for the entire museum.

Art is like a language, ideas and thoughts that may not be able to be articulated any other way. The big debate is whether artist artwork is a waste of resources and time, or if it is good for the world with all the creativity and the beauty it has. Art is more than justifiable to enjoy it. The enjoyment of art gives modern
This is why, many creative photographers have complained of not receiving the needed attention and recognition as is given to artists and architects. But the good news is that, as stated above, things have changed in this direction. Apart from its collection of photographs, the National Gallery of Art is now including photography in its major exhibitions, and bringing photographers together to exhibit their products as well. And according to Fiofiori, efforts have been made by private galleries and cultural institutions like Mydrim, Nimbus, Alliance Française and Goethe Institut to attract collectors by mounting photography exhibitions. Individual photographers have also done the same.
