current relevance to singaporeans now

2024-02-21 02:53:40 UTC

place for singaporeans (especially children) to go for learning journey to learn more about singapore’s past

not very relevant to youngsters these days as they are not very interested in artwork of the past

(maybe) proposal content

janelle_soh_hui_en — 2024-02-21 02:54:53 UTC

we can talk about the wonder and beauty of the place through the lens of history but the idea that SGreans have may not be so maginificent (which may be a problem because [touch on relevance of history in today, like the extensions and yk like butterfly effect])

(maybe) product and paraphernalia content

janelle_soh_hui_en — 2024-02-21 02:57:49 UTC

hot old mascot

(maybe) potential tension content

janelle_soh_hui_en — 2024-02-21 02:58:35 UTC

will it attract them further? will this change affect or not align with the initial goals? what are the stakeholders, how may they respond? is this a good idea? will we be willing to change like so?

—inclusion of art that is not just focused on the past, but also the present. and also the abstract. include arts of not just paintings but also prints/photos/videos. diversify platforms of art. include technology to further improve the experience (AR tech or touch screen or interactive exhibitions {eg visitors can go up and paint a cube or paste a doodle on a spot that will create a big artwork})

Suggestions

we have to go see the types of art they have there. is it just talking about the past, kampong days or is there some city ones

what has already been done

2024-02-21 03:04:40 UTC

technology as been included in teh children's section of the National Gallery. However, most of it is for children to have fun and see their doodles come alive on a big screen rather than educating children about the hisotry of Singapore and getting them to feel a connection with the past.
