Positive Effect that Museums have on Art.
Positive Effect that Museums have on Art.
For assignment 1, you have visited a museum – either in person or virtually. You had the opportunity to choose from a few options, but there is one commonality among all of the museums that you had to choose from: they contained a valuable collection of art that you were able to see. Museums have been around for centuries and are used to contain and display the objects that a collector thinks are important and valuable. It gives the public an opportunity to see the relics from ancient civilizations or contemporary artists. Museums are considered assets in a community, and are centers for culture and learning.
Sometimes, though, the objects that are displayed have been stolen, or mis-appropriated or out of context. They are often seen as places of privilege – the collections were created by extremely wealthy individuals or communities. Additionally, many museums disproportionally highlight works by western, Christian, white and male makers. Marginalized communities are often even more marginalized in museums. Contemporary museums are trying hard to fix some of the wrongs that have been made throughout museum history, but like in the rest of our society, they have a long way to go.
For this discussion, I’d like for you to address the following questions in your thread:
Name a positive effect that museums have had on Art. How did this affect your interpretation of the works you viewed when you did your museum visit?
Name a negative outcome of museums on Art. Was there anything that you saw that you thought wasn’t quite right on your visit?
What is something that you think could change to make museum spaces more accessible to more people?
What is your favorite way to view art in your daily life?
Please write a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 300 words in your post. Your original thread should appear on the discussion by Thursday of this week. Then take until the end of the day on Monday (6/28) to respond to a minimum of 3 classmates’ threads. As you are responding to your classmates threads, please choose one of their points, and compare or contrast it to your own post – how are you thinking similarly? How are you thinking differently? Your responses should be at least 75 words long.
