...Cultural Activity Strayer University Humanities 112 Professor Renee Pistone December 7, 2014 Cultural activity has continued to be part be art of the human race since times in history. Due to a major role held by culture in shaping the society, various museums have been set up across the county for remembrance of various historical artifacts and other fine art works. In fulfillment of the assignment in this unit HUM 112, I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. The main aims of the visit are to identify the major artwork kept in the museum in addition to the influences of the intellectual, religious and socio-political forces on the arts. Moreover, it also recognizes the use of technology and information resources to research issues in the study of cultures. The visit involved recognition of the main artworks stored in the museum in addition to the selection of the two pieces of art that would be selected for being saved first in case of a fire outbreak. A visit to Metropolitan Museum of Art that houses more than two million artworks representing five thousand years of history carried out on 5th of December 2014 was used to aid in writing this report. The visit began with a brief look into the floor layout of the complex museum layout. As a result, this enabled the location of the most interesting artworks in the Museum. Additionally, a staff curator offered to give me a trip around the expansive museum explaining various facts around...

...Week 10 Assignment 3: Cultural Activity Report John Smith Dr. Justyna Japola-DesVergnes HUM 112 September 6, 2015 For the Week 10, Assignment 3, I chose to attend the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, located in the “Museum District” of Richmond, Virginia. The museum was opened on January 16, 1936, which was during the great depression. I attended the museum with my Fiancé on September 5, 2015 and was the first time attending, for the both of us. It is currently open 365 days a year, and offers free admission other than to any of the special exhibits. Upon researching different museums and events to attend in the area, I decided that this museum would be most appropriate because it has a very extensive American art collection, housing items from the late 17th through the mid-20th century. It is currently hosting the exhibition Spotlight Loan: Eastman Johnson’s Views of Mount Vernon, which I found to be the highlight of my trip. In the text, I noted that there are numerous paintings by Eastman Johnson, an American painter, as well. One that particularly stood out to me was Negro Life in the South, 1959. The painting was of his father’s household slaves in Washington, DC. The slaves were portrayed as content, while playing music, dancing and conversing outside of their quarters. While some saw them as cheerful, abolitionists noted the crumbling architecture of the quarters in comparison to the house beside them, and also their tattered clothing (Sayre, 2015, p.967). In contrast...

...Assignment 3: Cultural Activity Report Student: Danny Franco Professor: Dr. Caren Stayer HUM 111 December 12, 2014 For my cultural event, I visited the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California on Thursday, December 11, 2014. I had originally planned to visit the National Museum of Art and History in Washington D.C., but I found myself in Los Angeles due to the birth of my Grandson. I attended the museum by myself. The Getty Museum was originally started in 1954 in J. Paul Getty’s home in Pacific Palisades. After Getty’s death, the Getty Trust took over the museum. The collection eventually outgrew the site and the Getty Center was built in the Santa Monica Mountains above interstate 405. After inputting the museum’s address I into my phone, Google Maps routed me through the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. The area seems very affluent as I passed several large homes with private gates. I followed the directions and eventually arrived at the Getty Center parking garage. There is a tram that runs from the parking garage to the museum. The tram was very clean and had a very modern feel. The tram ride is very scenic and the views of Los Angeles are incredible as you climb the mountain towards the museum. Upon arrival at the Getty Center, the first thing I noticed was that the floor, steps and all of the walls were constructed of travertine. Upon closer inspection, I noticed small fossils encrusted in the travertine. It seemed like a very appropriate...

...Cultural Activity Report Shquanta Rowden HUM 112 Prof. Nancy Pettigrew March 15, 2015 Saturday, February 28, 2014, I attended the Albany Civil Rights Institute located in Albany, Georgia. I attended the museum alone so that I would be able to observe the exhibits quietly without being distracted. Regrettably, I have lived near Albany, Georgia for almost three years and had not visited any of its museums. Therefore, on this day I was eager and excited that I had a reason and purpose to attend. The Albany Civil Rights Institute captures the fight for civil rights not only in Albany but throughout the United States. Two artifacts that were intriguing to me were Shiloh Baptist Church, and Quilt Code Patterns. Shiloh Baptist church was founded in the late 1800s. The church has been memorialized and is a part of the Albany Civil Rights institute. The most intriguing information that I found out about Shiloh Baptist Church is that the “Freedom Walk” started there. The Freedom Walk or Freedom March took place during the Albany Movement where protesters marched from the church to City Hall with hopes of ending segregation. The footprints of the march have been memorialized in the concrete of the sidewalk for the trail that was walked. The footprints fascinate me; of the people marching it is said that Martin Luther King Jr. was among the people. The locals of Albany believe that Albany paved the way...

...All around the world, people are playing different sports, and participating in all different physical activities. However, does someone’s cultural background affect what sports they enjoy? I interviewed three people of different cultural ethnicities and age groups with questions about why they enjoy the physical activities that they do. Based on my research, I have discovered that a person’s cultural ethnicity does impact which physical activities individuals may enjoy doing. First, I interviewed Shannon, a 14-year-old girl of American/Caucasian ethnicity. She is very athletic and exercises every single day. Shannon enjoys swimming, running, and biking. When asked about why she enjoys these activities, she said “I love any sports that are fast paced, sports that keep me attentive and awake. Any activity that gets me out of breath and tired, but feeling satisfied at the end of the day is what I like the most.” Living in an American family, Shannon believes that her love for sports is influenced by the fact that many members of her family also enjoy physical activity. She says “I’m constantly surrounded by family members and classmates participating in sports, and I want to be a part of it too.” Next, I interviewed Minh, a 48-year old man of Asian ethnicity. He has a job in software engineering, along with a family. Minh enjoys the sport of badminton, which he plays about once a week. He says “As a child in Vietnam, I was always so interested in the badminton games of the other...

...what was done during our class session. It involved us participating in various activities that would require us to rely on the knowledge and expertise of the other members of the group that we were randomly assigned to. This training session however would be different because of the various cultures, backgrounds, and personalities represented. | The first team training exercise was a game called charades. It required us to learn how to converse with others without the use of words or sounds. We had to compete against the other team, and whoever guessed the most words correctly won the game. This particular exercise teaches the value of clear communication between team members and aids in building relationships. Trusting our ability to read body language was the next challenge and it was the most difficult. We would not only have to guess which person of the opposite team held a coin in their hand but which hand specifically. During this game, we did not trust in one of our members’ judgments and as a team, we should consider everyone’s opinion within the group. If one person has the ability to read body language, we should follow the advice of that team member since they have used their expertise to guess correctly. This is where trust is developed within the group members and is displayed in the support of the final decision. The last challenge took us uphill. During this activity, we had to strategize a way of allowing our team members to fit into a circle that...

...helps with staying organized, eliminating idle time and allows for planning ahead. The creation and use of a schedule reduces the stress about what task an individual must do next. By having time designated for certain activities, a schedule helps prevent forgetting tasks as well as rushing through other tasks. A schedule helps allot time for school work and business activities and leaves an individual in charge of what they want to do and when they want to do it. As a student, one should be reasonable about business growth by prioritizing and designating only a few hours a week for business activities. It is practical to begin by establishing a small scaled business while in school, with the intention of expanding later when more time is available. Ways to Create a Schedule There are a number of different ways a schedule can be created and many tools that make it a simple task. Many online websites can generate a schedule once input is entered such as Google Calendars which can instantly create a schedule that manages your time. If you are an owner of a Smartphone, applications, such as Tungle Me and Smart Time, can also be useful. However, the most effective schedules are made personally by an individual since they have consideration of activities that take place in their own lives. Research on working effectively shows that most people work best by working intensely for...
