The Links

After reviewing the links within our syllabus for AH 251: The Museum Experience, I found that some links were easy to navigate. Links such as Metropolitan Museum of Art, Timeline of Art History, was very informative and descriptive of the different art movements; as well as the different pieces of collection. The variety of art is massive and the link breaks down the time era, where the collection was created, and background on the creator (artist). However, I found some links to be difficult to navigate such as Art History Resource on the Web, I understand that the link is specifically used to resource, however; for a person to browse through the link seemed overwhelming if you didn’t know what you were looking for. It was a lot of different categories to link onto and I didn’t know exactly where to start. But it is good to know that once I do have an exact era or collection that I am researching that theses links will be very helpful. In fact all the links were very informative and will allow for me to provide an efficient piece of work.

Invitation to View My Blog

Hello Everyone,

Hope you had a great weekend. We had some great weather didn't we? Anyway, my blog is still under construction. I'm running a little late. I should be done by 9am.

I went to the Wadsworth Atheneum and found the museum employees at the information desk and guards very helpful. I think I mentioned before that I borrowed a digital camera from my daughter and forgot to ask her how to turn the flash off. As Jerry pointed out, you can't use the flash. Well all cameras are different so at first I covered the flash with my finger and then after taking a few more pictures, I figured it out. Also, an employee gave me a detailed map showing all three floors of exhibits.

Anyway, please visit my blog at http://kjsmuseumexperiences.blogspot.com/ and let me know what you think.
