Terracotta Warriors Exhibit

Improved Essays
On Tuesday, October 11 my mom and I went to the The Field Museum in downtown Chicago. We went to various exhibits, in addition to the Terracotta Warriors exhibit, we also saw many others including the Cyrus Tang Hall of China and we watched the movie The Mysteries of China. These exhibits were both interesting and very helpful to help get a full understanding of Chinese history.

What did you learn?
Since I had already seen the terracotta warriors before I was not as interested in them but i was more interested in the tomb the tomb where Qin shi Huang di is supposed to be buried this interested me more because we did not talk about it that much in class and it just intrigues me that so many cool and very valuable things that could be down

These three exhibits very well fit into the class material we have been talking about for example in the terracotta warriors exhibit the class had recently been talking about the first emperor Qin Shi Huang who had the warrior's built for himself this also relates to the class conversation why he had them built this is because Qin shi Huang di wanted to have a full army servants and kingdom for him in the afterlife the second exhibit the Cyrus Tang Hall of China also related to class material because throughout the exhibit it showed different types of clothing and weapon that were used in the time period this relates to the class because we talked about his empire and also a lot of the different technology that was used throughout the time period also during the movie it really helped me understand the material even more in class because it was a really good summary aswell and it was overall just a good

    Visiting the PEM museum and discovering Gardner Pingree house and the Yin Yu Tang house, I learned many things throughout my whole experience. Going through two different houses and contrasting both of the houses seemed very easy because both of the house were from two different parts of the world. The Gardener's Pingree House was from U.S.A and the Yin Yu Tang House was from China. The Yin Yu Tang house was a Chinese house whose owner was a late dynasty merchant.…

    The art is interesting for the facts that the people who made the art pieces put a lot of dedication and time in wanting to make them look great. The first section in the exhibition is the Art and Action which is all about artifacts of how people who made them went far beyond the boundaries to make a statement through their creativeness. The next couple of sections were the Art and Knowledge and the Art and Power. The art work in the Art and power section had a couple figures that were a bit scary it was darker than any of the other sections and you just felt that the art pieces…

    My favorite lesson/topic I learned this year was about cannibalism, Jamestown and Disney’s inaccurate movies. I liked learning about Jamestown because when the settlers ran out of food, they ate each other. I also liked learning about this because we got to play Minecraft and build our own little Jamestown. I enjoyed learning about cannibalism in general because I liked seeing Jaylens reaction about everything, and because it was just fun to learn about in general. If someone does cannibalism or “Biggest Fails in History” for ROWVA Chill I'm definitely taking that class.…

    My favorite exhibit was in the BYU Museum, “To magnify the Lord: Six Centuries of Art and Devotion”. This exhibit was full of paintings, and artwork representing the life of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The religious artwork in this exhibit displays beautiful narratives of Christ’s life, and his ministry. All of the paintings in this exhibit relate back to the Savior, and they really emphasize the greatness, and the mercy of the Lord, and many of them portray events that occurred during his life. In this exhibit, I really like the painting by James T. Harwood, “Come Ye After Me”.…

    A vast array of knowledge is available to students in a tangible way- models and exhibits that display significance in a way that words on a page simply cannot- which broadens our understanding of the things we learn. Within the hallowed halls of these institutions, I would learn through seeing and experiencing rather than imagining. It's a rite of passage, in a sense, for students to learn things without the use of written text and pencils. The museums and monuments that are abundant within Washington D.C. break the barriers between traditional classroom learning that, as mentioned previously, foster impersonal connections to the things we learn…

    Although there was not a theme for each exhibition the relation between art pieces was present. It seemed that pieces similar to one another were put next to each other. I belive this was to compliment one another and bring attention to the art that was not as similar. Establishing a relationship between each item displayed is important because the complementary of the items enhances the viewer’s experience and adds importance to the theme (if presents) of the exhibition. Another important strategy to enhance the theme of the exhibition is item placement.…
