Some figurines of infants from this time period were buried in tombs, possibly as a sign of regeneration or new life.]]> 2022-11-05 00:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370749324 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370751000 It would be helpful for people to understand what the region looked like geographically during the period that much Cypriot art was created: 10,000 B.C. until 330 A.D. It could be an interactive map with specific art examples and short blurbs on the artwork and region. ]]> 2022-11-05 00:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370751000 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370751579 It would be helpful to be able to find a pattern in the Cypriot Art and have a bit of history on the making of this kind of artwork: utility, meanings, etc. ]]> 2022-11-05 00:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370751579 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370752123 I envision a darker setting around this piece since there is more unknown about it than later time periods. I envision the two other elements next to the piece that are also lit, so that exhibit has a sort of mysterious feel.]]> 2022-11-05 00:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370752123 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370760739 Kanbun bijin, or “Beauty of the Kanbun Era,” is a generic name given to paintings of a woman standing against a neutral background. The tall woman wears her hair in an elaborate style called gosho-mage, or “palace chignon.” Patterned and decorated under layers are visible under the also patterned over layers.]]> 2022-11-05 00:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370760739 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370761415 I would make this exhibit celebretory of Japanese culture during that time period, with historically accurate music from the time period and projections of colors and images from Japan. ]]> 2022-11-05 00:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370761415 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370762445 Along with the projections of images from Japanese landscape, I would want images of Japanese beauty from this time period to emphasize the historical accuracy of the piece.]]> 2022-11-05 01:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370762445 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370764623 I think it would be fun to have a few scrolls hung about around the exhibit that you can unroll yourself, that have context of the painting in them and images of some other similarly themed artwork from the time.]]> 2022-11-05 01:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370764623 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370857661 This sculpture depicts an elegant Aztec lady wearing a short, simple skirt fastened around the waist with a knotted belt worked in low relief. Her hair is wound about her head in two strands and held at the top. Sculptures of females without any deity attributes are rare in Aztec art. It is possible that this figure was dressed on specific days of the ritual calendar in deity costumes made of cloth and/or other perishable materials.]]> 2022-11-05 05:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370857661 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370859072 Masks were rare in the Solomon Islands and were only regularly made in the northernmost islands in the archipelago. This boldly painted mask, made of barkcloth stretched over a cane frame and was worn over the head like a helmet. While the precise significance and imagery of this Bougainville mask is uncertain, the upraised ears, prominent brow ridge, wide staring eyes, and bared teeth indicate that it too may depict a fearsome spirit.]]> 2022-11-05 05:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370859072 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370860491 To help the exhibit really feel like it's from Aztec culture, I think it would help to place some sort of mini bird's eye view of architecture from the aztecs. Almost like a mini-city. If it were an entire room exhibit, it would be helpful to line the room with a mini-aztec city. (I'm not sure if this makes sense, but think of something like one of those lego min-land exhibits).]]> 2022-11-05 05:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370860491 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370861508 To set the tone on the exhibit, and call the attention to the sculpture, I would want the sculpture to be placed on a clear platform or holder to make it appear almost floating. I'd want yellow-ish mood lighting, and maybe even fog machines to simulate dust. This really helps to put the emphasis on the sculpture and to help people feel like they can understand the context and culture of the sculpture.]]> 2022-11-05 05:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370861508 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370862179 It would be interesting, because of how interesting and particular aztec architecture is, to put small facts about the time period, culture, and context of the sculpture around the "mini-land." Maybe even have some parts that are hidden and can be opened in doors or houses of the architecture. ]]> 2022-11-05 05:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370862179 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370863099 Because of the tropical jungle-esque nature of Bougainville Island, to help connect context, I would have a walkthrough with a darker mood setting (greens, blues) and leaves hanging throughout the roof and walls. I think some culturally appropriate music would be helpful as well. The mask would be stationed at the end of the walk-through and call attention to itself.]]> 2022-11-05 05:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370863099 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370863379 To allow people to participate in the experience, I would make a small mask-making station on the sides where people can make masks with similar materials and colors to the one in the exhibit.]]> 2022-11-05 05:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370863379 estherfreeman27 https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370864114 Because of the spiritual background of the mask and its meaning, an informative station with some context of the history of the masks would be something I would put in the exhibit to help people understand the meaning behind the mask, and the spiritual context of the time period, and give it its credit that it's due.]]> 2022-11-05 05:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/estherfreeman27/nm534oco40lxhecc/wish/2370864114
