It was a blast! While working with little kids as well as general public, time passed by a little too fast...wish it lasted a bit longer.
My experience working with children and the public in the past was always very boring and tedious, though I didn't exactly dislike it. Maybe it was just the type of activities done between them and myself. But after the experience of the Family Fun Day, my perception had differently changed. I believe that one of the main reason is because of the activities were set up. These activities during the Family Fun Day created a more engaging environment for both families as well as myself, and I really like the fact of that. During the activities, I had fun just by watching the children using their creative minds to piece together all these shapes and patterns and it was hard to grasp what they were going for until it was a finished product.
I always envision museums as a quiet, peaceful place where people just pay to go in and look at ancient artifacts. But I guess not anymore. After experiencing events like the Family Fun Day as the Korea Day, my view on how museums are have definitely changed. I learned that museums can be festive too.
Biggest take-away for visitors: making art & knowing that Asian Art Museum is not just a museum to look at sculptures/paintings, it also have activities, like the ones provided in the Family Fun Day, that everyone can can get involve in.
Biggest take-away for me: working with little kids/ the experience
