Depicts a landscape of a volcano eruption. First medium that this work displays is watercolor media that provides a look into the type of resources artists used to create murals in the Stone Age.

A mechanism of showing a map will be beneficial in the museum as the location of the painting is ancient.

Next, a sensory mechanism that should be present in the exhibit will also be a tour of the ancient site to show the material remains of the origin of the work.

Additionally, I would want every audience member to fill out a statement regarding the artwork for reflection practice and to see the significance this ancient work from Turkey has on modern day. 

Finally the drawings is a important mechanism due to the primary colors and essential shapes in the mural.]]> 2020-03-28 01:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/awyant0000/zv6j6a0xzuec/wish/479310227 awyant0000 https://padlet.com/awyant0000/zv6j6a0xzuec/wish/479314153 This artwork is a Japanese woodblock print made during the 18th century. This image holds different characteristics such as a setting with color values that flow together gracefully and create a sense of peacefulness.

For an enhancing mechanism to showcase the importance of Utamaro's influence on Japanese art I would have this slide show playing of his additional works and with music.

Next, the features that this work holds is a look into female Japanese fashion culture and rejecting of traditional Japanese culture.
Another mechanism would also include woodblock printing tools to show the beginning of their popularity. 

The added Japanese language calligraphy that is present is another way that provides the viewer to have a intimate look into the woodblock print. ]]> 2020-03-28 01:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/awyant0000/zv6j6a0xzuec/wish/479314153 awyant0000 https://padlet.com/awyant0000/zv6j6a0xzuec/wish/479315774 This stone sculpture created in the late post-classic era in Tenochtitlan is insightful due to its detailed images that show how the Goddess of the Moon is both the creator and destroyer in Aztec theology. Additionally, the tactical elements of the stone are incredible for storytelling and looking into the religious beliefs of the Aztecs.

With this, the different mechanism that I would employ starts with an introduction  video of the terrain of ancient Mexico.

Also, I would include some water feature in the exhibit to showcase the life giving side of the Goddess of the Moon.

Next, a mechanism would be including a map of ancient Mexico City to demonstrate the architecture around the artwork.

This artwork has a deep context that is drawn from the beginning of time with the Aztecs which shows the setting in a ancient point of view. The photography media with the ancient artwork shows the success of human cultural preservation. ]]> 2020-03-28 01:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/awyant0000/zv6j6a0xzuec/wish/479315774 awyant0000 https://padlet.com/awyant0000/zv6j6a0xzuec/wish/479316805 These figures located in Easter Island which is a isolated island on the coast of Chile. The different mechanism that makes this art form so unique is the tactical material of volcanic rock that was used to carve the figures.

For a mechanism in the gallery I would include a similar texture of volcanic rock to be touched by the audience to see the materials used from the ancient artists.

Also the island setting adds to the mysterious ways that the figures can be to as the creators are unknown. I would also include a virtual walk through of Easter Island to showcase this.

Finally, I would have traditional music playing that is native to the ancestor figures and Easter Island 

The purpose of the figures was to honor the chief that ruled Easter Island before the 15th century. ]]> 2020-03-28 01:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/awyant0000/zv6j6a0xzuec/wish/479316805
