Write a report after your attendance at the event or visit to a site. ****1.- I would like to do this paper on The Louvre. Went in late May, and really enjoyed seeing Mona Lisa but was much smaller than I imagined. I added some insight from my visit, and can answer any other questions you have. Your report should include the following information. Include photos or links that help convey the information. As always, be sure to document all sources you consult in preparing your work. This includes brochures from the site or websites that informed you about the particular venue you visited. Name and location of the museum, site, or performance event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, be sure to include a link to it within the text of your essay in an appropriate place. Type of museum, site or event. For example is it a portrait or sculpture museum, a music concert, or dance performance? If you attended a performance, name the performer or the piece. Be specific about what you attended, when, and where. Name and/or general description of the person you spoke with at the venue, and their answer to this specific question, “How did you become involved with this place/event/organization etc.?” *** Margaret- Was a museum greeter and became involved with the Louvre because of her passion for the arts. She has a degree in fine arts and theatre and has been around the arts since she was young. She is appreciative of the opportunity being able to work at the Louvre, but mentioned it is also very stressful with a lot of tourists not showing respect*** Briefly describe the general setting by talking a bit about the location, the number of people there, the general overall “vibe” of the place. *** We attended the end of May. The location is in a beautiful area. Once you are inside the walls you directly see the Louvre, and it is one of the most beautiful views in my opinion. There were hundreds of people there, it was very busy and crowded. We had to pre book tickets ahead of time, but didn’t wait in line for too long. The vibe outside of the Louvre was interesting. A lot of people were of course taking pictures, but it was nice seeing everyone enjoying themselves. I was disappointed by the inside vibe because I felt overall people were very disrespectful to the museum. It was very crowded, many kids were running wild with no parents to be seen and not very respectful to the arts. **** Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting. For example, you might write about a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, costumes or lighting, a particular vocalist, etc. Explain what impressed or affected you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation. Identify and use at least two tools that you have learned about in this class to talk about your visit. For example, if you visit a museum, you might point out how color works in one of the paintings, or if you go to a concert, how rhythm works in one of the songs. Make sure you are explicit in identifying the tools you are using and the learning resources your tools come from. Make sure to inform the reader about the tool through a quote or paraphrase from the learning resource. Then, make sure to tell the reader how you interpret some elements of your visit with the tools. Reflect on the relevance–if any–of your experience to your everyday life. How did the experience engage your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you about human culture, and/or about yourself?
