The terra-cotta soldiers have a rich history in which the emperor's of ancient China wanted to take their riches with them into the afterlife. Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of China, prepared for his death by constructing a vast underground that resembled his real life with the terra-cotta soldiers to protect him. This was sheer legend until 1974 when archaeologists discovered the tomb and the "city" burial site. ]]> 2022-11-05 04:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bellakrassow0287/l1l8s2462lca259v/wish/2370839248 bellakrassow0287 https://padlet.com/bellakrassow0287/l1l8s2462lca259v/wish/2370841281 The first mechanism to help visitors understand the context of the artwork around them and to help them feel connected to the time and place is being greeted with "Chanoyu" or a tea ceremony as they enter the space. This will allow guests to fully submerge themselves into the environment and traditions of the artwork. In ancient Japan, chanoyu was a set ritual to help one find peace and solace from the ordinary world. ]]> 2022-11-05 04:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bellakrassow0287/l1l8s2462lca259v/wish/2370841281 bellakrassow0287 https://padlet.com/bellakrassow0287/l1l8s2462lca259v/wish/2370843903 While the Great Wall of China is not the same era, it is the same location as the primary artwork of the terra-cotta soldiers. After guests are greeted with traditional Japanese tea they will then be escorted along the "Great Wall of China" path that will lead them to the terra-cotta soldiers. This path will include a bridge that is similar to material and style of the real Great Wall. The path will also include maps, graphics, and other Chinese artworks until they reach the end. Guests will be able to piece together the context of the terra-cotta soldiers if they understand the location. ]]> 2022-11-05 04:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bellakrassow0287/l1l8s2462lca259v/wish/2370843903 bellakrassow0287 https://padlet.com/bellakrassow0287/l1l8s2462lca259v/wish/2370845547 Another mechanism to get guests involved in the artwork would be an electronic puzzle of various Indian, Chinese, and Japanese artworks. Visitors would have to put the pieces of the artwork back together to fully complete the artwork. This will help guests feel like they are apart of the creation of the artwork and help them feel more connected to the art from this time and place. ]]> 2022-11-05 04:29:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bellakrassow0287/l1l8s2462lca259v/wish/2370845547
