For my museum response‚ I visited Shrem Museum. The first thing that catches my attention are Robert Arneson’s toilets. The toilets look old and disgusting‚ but what is most disturbing about them is that the some of the toilets included random body parts. For instances‚ there were lips on the top of one toilet. Wayne Thiebaud paintings featured everyday scenes. His food services included pieces titles (Double Decker‚ BBQ’d Chickens‚ Cup of Coffee‚ Cottage Cheese Salad). He also had a beautiful landscape

My experience at the Museum of Contemporary Photography was great. The museum consisted of three different levels that were available for viewing. The first level had a receptionist area to the left as you first walk in. They want you to check your things in if you have items with you so that you don’t destroy any of the art. The lighting was pretty favorable for viewing the photographs. The one thing that stood out was that the photographs varied in sizes. They had a few photos that were smaller

named Adolf Hitler. Now that we were learning it again and that we went to visit the Museum of Tolerance‚ I remember that Adolf Hitler attacked all of the Jews because of who they are and what they thought was right. Now visiting the Museum and refreshing my memory‚ I remember that they captured all of the Jews and sent them to concentration camps for them to work until they died or until they got lucky to leave. Museum of Tolerance is evidence of my growth because when we went as a school they showed

As I walked through the Blacks in Wax Museum I was both upset and happy by what I saw. Going into the slave ship and seeing the slaves being branded like livestock and shackled one on top of the other really brought to life the struggle that the slaves had to endure. I don’t understand how the white people can think of the slaves as less than human‚ and at the same time want to rape the women. The Lynching Exhibit opened my eyes to how cruel people can really be. What hit home was the story of pregnant

During the CDC museum visit‚ the two exhibits I found the most interesting were "Where Children Sleep: Photographs by James Mollison" and the Iron Lung. Both of these exhibits caught my attention and I learned a lot from the tour guide‚ especially about the iron lung and polio. The “Where Children Sleep” exhibit was very enlightening and it was fascinating to see how different children live across the united states and the world. In the photos that I took pictures of‚ there was a young boy form Italy

The story Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell is described to be a “story of success”; in fact those are the exact words on the cover of the book. I would consider this book more of a story that is not only describing success‚ but how people that became successful were able to do it in the first place. Overall‚ this book gives extraordinary background stories on how people that many of us look up today‚ started out as just regular human beings like you and me. This book is a magnificent source of motivation

Throughout Malcolm Gladwell’s‚ "Small Change"‚ he assesses the difference between strong-tie activism and weak-tie activism. Strong ties are the relationships between us and those we are closest to‚ our friends and family. This type of bond enables true social activism because we are committed to the relationships and are more likely to be compelled to take a stand and fight for change. Weak ties‚ on the other hand‚ are described as the type of relationship we have with our "friends" online. These
