    Restrictions:  The experience should be viewed during the current semester.  If this is impossible, contact the instructor to arrange for alternatives.  You may not report on a cultural experience viewed prior to this class. 

    Write a report after you have explored or viewed the online resource. 

    Your report should include the following information. Include photos or links that help convey the information. As always, be sure to document all sources you consult in preparing your work. This includes any learning resources from the class, or information from the websites that informed you about the particular item you explored. 

    • Name and location of the museum, site, or performance event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, be sure to include a link to it within the text of your essay in an appropriate place.  
    • Type of museum, site or event. For example is it a portrait or sculpture museum, a music concert, or dance performance? If you viewed a performance, name the performer or the piece. 
    • Briefly describe the general setting by talking a bit about the location (you can research the location online) and the general overall “vibe” of the place.  
    • Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting. For example, you might write about a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, costumes or lighting, a particular vocalist, etc. Explain what impressed or affected you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation. 
    • Identify and use at least two tools, concepts or methods that you have learned about in this class in the Learning Resources to talk about your viewing. For example, if you do a virtual museum tour, you might point out how color works in one of the paintings, or if you view to a concert, talk about how rhythm works in one of the songs. Make sure you are explicit in identifying the tools/concept/methods you are using and the specific learning resources they come from. Make sure to inform the reader about the tool/concept/method through a quote or paraphrase from the learning resource. Then, make sure to tell the reader how you interpret and/or analyze some elements of what you experience with the tools.  
    • Be sure to cite the learning resources you have used in MLA format. Please see http://sites.umgc.edu/library/libhow/mla_examples.cfm
    • Reflect on the relevance–if any–of your experience to your everyday life.  How did the experience engage your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you about human culture, and/or about yourself? 

    STOP: Before you hand in your assignment, ask yourself the following questions:  

    1. Have I provided the name and location of the museum, site, or performance event and URL, if available, identified the type of museum, site or event, and provided a general description of the setting? 
    2. Have I identified and explained an especially interesting aspect of the experience and used examples to illustrate reflections and to explain why this aspect was interesting? 
    3. Have I identified and applied two tools, concepts or methods of interpretation from learning resources to concrete and specific examples from visit? 
    4. Have I used examples to clearly explain the relevance of my visit to at least one of the following: 1) emotion 2) human culture 3) self-identity 4) cultural identity? 
    5. Have I provided a list of resources and do all of my citations conform to MLA 8th edition guidelines? 
    6. Have I proofread this assignment for grammatical, structural, and spelling errors?  

    This assignment is due by the end of the fourth week of class on TUESDAY by 11:30PM ET.

Review of the art Work of The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The work presents a report about review of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The report captures the information about the location of the museum, the type of museum it is, the general setting of the museum, the aspects I found especially interesting. I also identify the too learnt in class that are evident in the museum.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is located in New York City in the US. Founded in 1870, the Museum has been a three dimensional encyclopedia of art history, produced by the Public Television by Great Museum TV (Great Museums (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHrmoSlfLD0); Howe, p. 141). The Museum is both a portrait, sculpture, costumes and archeological museum with art collections of more than 300 years from across the world including, India, China, Japan, West Africa, France, America Romania,  Italy, Germany and England. The portraits, paintings and artifacts present some of the most unique expertise and deeply entrenched cultural values that were preserved by work of art in different parts of the world in the ancient times. The people of the modern days like myself can thus appreciate the creativity of the artists and their societies of their times.

The Museum’s main repository is set at the 1000 Fifth Avenue, along the Museum Mile found on the Eastern periphery of the Central Park in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The Second part of the Museum, the Cloisters is set at Fort Tryon Part within Upper Manhattan (Howe, p. 141). The settings enable it to attract even more tourists and visitors coming to appreciate and cherish the wide range of magnificent art, artifacts ad architecture from medieval Europe.

The Arms and Armor were particularly interesting. The gallery of the arms and the Armor are displayed in the first floor of the museum and presents a parade of armored statues on horsebacks. The art work displays extraordinary craftsmanship of creativity and decoration of the 14th and 15th centuries. Of particular interest are the Japanese Samurai Warrior’s armors. The armor was common in between 14th and 16th centuries and was made from lacquered iron/steel lined with leather and silk lacing. They were of composed in many iron cuirasses to make them easy to dress on and off. They designed such that they would maximize protection of the warrior from the enemies. A whole armor comprised on a helmet, breastplate, shoulder guards, arm covers, thigh armor and shin guard (Khan Academy, 2020).

The paintings and portraits particularly use color to make meaning. The artists heavily depend on color to distinguish features of their paintings and portraits. Thousands of paintings are displayed in the museum, some are figurative, while others are abstract and in either way, color is used for decorative beauty, to arouse some emotions through influencing mood. A good example is the crowning glory painting of 1993. Vangal used strong colors to create different themes in the painting, for example he uses dark green color to paint Cyprus trees which were common in cemeteries. It argued painting reminds people of death and ascension to heaven after death (Great Museums).

Additionally, display his used differently to convey different meaning. The paintings are at some points are carefully hung on the wall depending of their importance. The most important are at the topmost while the least important are placed at the bottom. Some other painting is intentionally placed next to each other for specific reasons one of which is the information one painting has about the adjacent painting.

The Metropolitan is not just for lovers of history. It is rich is a vast variety of artifacts, sculptures, paintings and costumes dating as far back as the 14th Century. It is therefore a repository of the art works of almost all cultures of the world.
