James E Lewis Museum

Most importantly having the museum as such make many African-American feels closer or connective for America because of it clear message that this is truly their home. In addition, the museum is a public institution that open to everybody, it stands as an example of welcoming everyone to participate, collaborates, and learn about their history. it is very important to people because of it, of course, invest in history. For example, since its opening on September 24, 2016, the museum has "collected the more than 36,000 artifacts" (5). Not only that the museum is a collective institution but the donors whom to help build the museum come from all different backgrounds: nearly 1 40,000 individuals have become charter members of the museum (5).

“wow!” I thought as I stood amazed trying to analyze the significance through each piece of art. Art has always been a form of expression. Although art has been seen as a way of freedom of speech; it did not begin to show up until the 1960’s when their art made by minorities started to be appreciated. MOLAA museum shows an important aspect of U.S. history. These exhibits exclusively made by chicano artists from Southern California, show freedom of speech and social problems such as immigration that the artists believe are present in the United States. These art pieces are aided by its use of objects, how it curates those objects, and use of space to create a relationship between viewer create many historical arguments about the significance

Born August 18, 1774; Meriwether Lewis was an American explorer, soldier, politician, public administrator, and the leader of the Louisiana expedition group known as the Corps of Discovery. During the first few years of his life, Meriwether grew up on his family’s estate in Ivy Creek, Virginia. After the death of Meriwether’s father in 1779, Meriwether’s mother Lucy Meriwether remarried to John Marks who later moved the family to Broad River Valley, Georgia in 1780. At his new home, Meriwether was influenced by his love for natural history and spent most of his time improving his skills as an outdoorsman, and it is said that he would go out hunting with his dogs at the age of eight. Meriwether’s mother who was a regionally-known herbalist

When learning about a new aspect in life, no matter what it was, logic suggests that we should refer to the main resources to impart from. Morrisseau played a great role in being one of the recent resources on the nature of the Aboriginal Canadian Tribe – the Ojibwa – that people refer to, to know more about the indigenous culture that lived in the Anishnaabe region. This had been evidenced by the fact that his paintings were not hung in museums for their artistic value, but rather for their ethnographic worth. Morrisseau documented the culture from many perspectives and aspects thoroughly, which is illustrated on actions of different authorities (museums and schools) to refer back to his work. He was the only artist for the "first solo first solo exhibit of an Aboriginal person 's art in the history of the National Gallery of Canada" .

In the case of Jacob Lawrence, his personal style brought the African-American experience to life using contrasts between dark and vivid colors. Nonetheless, two examples of some of his most known paintings include “ The Builders, The Family” and “This is a Family Living in Harlem”. While both paintings are similar in that they both show strong family unity in the African Culture, they are different in the setting where each of the paintings are taking place. Strong family unity is present in, “ The Builders, The Family”, as it shows a nice, well dressed family walking together on their way to either church or their household.

The lifestyle of the Nankani has a profound influence on the art that is produced. These influences include the physical environment, the agrarian customs and the general Nankani culture itself. Hence, the Nankani Compound in Sirigu, Ghana, in its art celebrates all that is important to their life and this is shown (the same) on their pottery, baskets, their homes and even on the skin thus cementing cultural identity. Each design is symbolic of some aspect of their culture. These mural decorations, function as an interpretational art piece of the community and is therefore, very highly

It was a moment when modern African American culture took people's imagination. According to Coleman, F. (1995), “No one captured visually the essence of African-American life in the 1920s and 1930s as vividly or faithfully as did Archibald Motley” (para. 2). Archibald Motley was a visual artist who took part in that period and expressed his art well. He has paintings from all aspects of his career. From the time he was in college at the Art Institute of

Inside there’s the typical tourist items but what intrigues me the most would be the gallery walk. The gallery walk features many images of Native American culture; there's ones of the wool woven blankets, headdresses the men wore, and the inside of the small homes similar to forts called “hogans.” There's also writings that are in the Navajo language that my grandma translates to me. After the end of this unique experience I learn more about my culture, visit family I don't often get to see, and lastly an experience of a

Indian Society and US-Indian Relationship Thomas Jefferson and Meriwether Lewis both reflected their views about US-Indian relations and Indian society. Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to the Marquis de Chastellux in 1785 describing about the relations between Indians of North America and whites. A journal entry written by Meriwether Lewis in 1805 portrays the true picture of diplomatic relations between the Indians of North America and the United States. The letter written by Thomas Jefferson gives the impression that Jefferson described the US-Indian relations based on intuitions and rational thinking. The journal entry composed by Lewis is based on ground realities and facts.

Fashion can find expression and be coded by materially and visually in forms of color, shape, texture and branding, and must be created and spread inside cultural fields combining local and global systems. Fashion is not just a social practice concerning clothing and address. It is more of an expressive sensibility favoring novelty and individuality, which energizes facets of both monetary production and personal consumption.

In this article, Dorothy Lippert, a Native American, covers the complex dynamic between Native Americans and museum collections, more specifically the archeologists that recover and archive the so called artifacts. This complex relationship between the artifacts, with the scientific importance and ability to educate, and the cultural importance of the artifacts to native peoples is one that is forever changing. Curators are in charge of putting together exhibits, but as Mrs. Lippert examines, the archaeologists that collect and find these artifacts have a unique relationship with these items. This relationship is unique because once archaeologists have control of an item, they decide what the item will be called, how they will classify the

John lewis can be named many things. Leader of marches and protests during the movement, amazing person and one of the most hard working people alive today. Yes he is all of those things. From a young age, he felt the effects of segregation. Eventually he got so fed up about old beat up school busses and run down out of date text books.

John Robert Lewis was born February 21,1940, Outside of Troy, Alabama. John Robert Lewis had a happy childhood, even though he needed to work hard to assist his sharecropper parents be he chafed against the unfairness of segregation.As I sat down with John Robert Lewis and among my other peers he shared with us everything about his childhood, his job as a sharecropper was to raise the chickens. He did he job very good and he enjoyed raising them chickens. Him and his siblings would gather the chickens all together and John Lewis would preach as of the chickens knew what he was saying. He was particularly disappointed when the Supreme Court ruling in 1954 's Brown v. the board of education of Topeka didn 't affect his school life. He is a

Meriwether Lewis once said, “I could esteem this moment of my departure as among the most happy of my life” (“Meriwether Lewis Quotes”). This is fitting considering Lewis went on an adventurous two year expedition to the Pacific Ocean. Meriwether Lewis is associated with the American Romanticism era. The Romanticism era began in the early 1800s and continued until approximately 1865. This era valued unspoiled nature, relied on intuition over logic, and believed in the importance of individual freedom and liberty. Meriwether Lewis’s infamous expedition and the Romanticism Era is what inspired him to keep detailed journals, and it’s because of these journals that we know about his heroic journey.
