It has been reported that the museums in NYC will opening in the upcoming weeks. As with all outdoor activities, please make sure to practice all the protocols with regard to the pandemic. In the event that the museums do not open, I will revise this assignment. Students will visit your selected museum, Online or in person. Peruse the exhibitions, and select one. Observe it in terms of its location in the museum, the medium used, the artist or designer, the purpose of the designs, and the museum itself. Keep in mind that all museums are not the same, as each has its own distinctions and personality. What is your experience of visiting this museum? Were there any surprises? Were you disappointed by anything? How did you find this experience? Has the pandemic impacted your experience significantly? If so, explain how. Was it an easy or difficult process?

Make sure to identify the your selections by name and include the artist’s name. Decide on the particular aspects of the exhibit, and determine how you would like to present it. You may use PowerPoint, Prezi, or any other tool to help you to present your work on Blackboard. I will open a forum on Discussion Board for you to post your presentations. Students will post their presentations in the designated forum.
