September 14
From upstairs to downstairs, back upstairs again. That was quite a lot of walking. The Scavenger Hunt led me to so many places within the museum; places I've been to as well as places I didn't before the scavenger hunt. There was lots of interaction with staff and volunteer members of the museum during the process of this game. One of the staff members that we greeted named Kyle said that his favorite art work within the museum was the Japanese felt costumes. I think the one I had the most difficulty with was the one where it asks us to find an object that makes us laugh and I ended up with a headless statue, I think it was because we had to move on.
From the Japan Galleries, I really liked the Contemplative Alcove. It gave off a very serene feeling/mood and I really like that.
The Art Mediation activity wasn't too bad. Five minute didn't really seem like it was that long, I enjoyed it. The "Window Frame" that I examined had a very intricate pattern/design. The piece of art really reminds me of a closet. I think it was mostly due to coloring. There were also many different patterns like checkers, flowers, and leaf looking patterns. The window frame also had a symmetry line down the middle. But the most notable part of the window frame to me was the part that really resembled artichokes, one on each side. I dwell on that for a bit. And like I said during our share and tell, I sort of spaced out. Maybe due to the lighting but I think it was mainly due to the coloring of the window frame. My mind was just occupied by that same color: reddish-brown.
Closet or window?It's colored with red and brownOh look, there's flower
