Summary Of In The Longhouse Oneida Museum By Roberta Hill

In the poem Heritage by Linda Hogan, Hogan uses the tone of the speaker to demonstrate the shame and hatred she has toward her family, but also the desire for her family’s original heritage. The speaker describes each family member and how they represent their heritage. When describing each member, the speaker’s tone changes based on how she feels about them. The reader can identify the tone by Hogan’s word choices and the positive and negative outlooks on each member of the family.

An afternoon spent meandering through the winding paths of the Annmarie Sculpture Garden provides a cultural experience through art. The memories the sculptures preserve encourage the introspection of visitors, allowing an almost tailored learning experience for those willing to learn. Ultimately, it is an epistemological experience for those who attend, as what could be a quiet afternoon turns into a unique peek into the culture of Calvert

Historical Literature has always been a way for people to connect to the past. Students rely on the educational system in order to teach about historical events and present factual data. Ronald Takaki, author of A Different Mirror, triumphs over a history textbook`s narrative by adding the perspectives and personal information from minority groups to further educate his readers. While this text is pretty extensive with detail and memoirs of historical figures, Ireland`s Hunger Museum has reinforced Takaki`s historical details through artwork. As an active member in the community, my experience of the museum has given a personal and deeper connection to the past than the text. As a student of civics, I shared my responses to the artwork using

In this museum, we will be showing you artwork throughout history that all shares a similar theme in all of them. All of the art pieces in this museum all involve nature and seascapes, many artists throughout history have drawn nature and the ocean that is around them or beautiful place that they made up, but many of these beautiful landscapes were made with no specific theme in mind except beauty, many of these painting are supposed to depict beauty in the eye of the beholder, but many of these painting may still seem dark and gloomy.

“This world is but a canvas to our imagination”; which always has been throughout the years. Art has been separated in different categories such as architectures, sculptures, photography and paintings. For my semester project, which was to visit an art or historic museum; my classmates and I went to the Reynolda House Museum of American art which provided us both the art and history. At first, we all assume that the visit would be boring or the art gallery would be dull. What shocked us the most was the actual experience being in the museum instead of just talking about it. We experienced multiple feelings during our visit in the art gallery as well as the historic area. From the art gallery which held many paintings of artist, to the house that R.J Reynolds and his family once occupied. Furthermore, it also showed us the legacy of R.J Reynolds and his family has left behind for the people of Winston-Salem.

2. As you travel from section to section within the museum, observe and outline stories that were being told through the visual representation posted and document those stories. Take pictures of yourself in front of several of the exhibits. a. Walking through the museum there were many exhibits that told the people’s stories going through Ellis Island and coming to America. These stories talked about leaving their families, homes and past behind in order to achieve the

Sarah pulled down the visor mirror and peeked at Painted Girl in the backseat. Painted Girl stared gloomily at the landscape passing them by. Sarah could only guess at her thoughts. She is probably worried that Grandfather will pitch a fit when he learns about their change in arrangements. Sarah sighed. Painted Girl was a miniature version of Grandfather. Family, heritage, honor above all else. Sarah did not want traditions hindering her life, but she knew deep down that they were important to her family. Her father, however, never had time to teach her about life as a Native American before he died. She had grown up in an Anglo world; far from any reservations; only Grandfather and his community center connected her to her heritage.

Poetry has always been a way of expressing emotions about life experiences. Poetry allows us to use symbolism to express ideas without the use of proper language. Things like our feelings about local scenery and culture can be expressed in symbols and imagery. One example of this, Ron Rash’s poem “Local Color”, explores the concepts of place and identity and suggests they are intertwined. Examples of how place and identity are intertwined are shown in the grandfather’s identity as a regular at the local bar, the grandmother’s identity as a homemaker and wife at home, and the idea that by going to the church the grandfather was going to change his identity.

In this essay I will be comparing two poems which show connections between people and the places in which they live. The two poems I will be comparing and contrasting are “Blessing” by imtiaz Dharker and “Island Man” by Grace Nichols. Both of these poets express their feelings through these poems. Grace Nichols allocates her experiences of how people feel when separated from the environment and place they lived in for such a long period of time. On the contrary Imtiaz Dharker uses the poem “Blessing” to convey the importance of water for less fortunate people. From both of the poems I have chosen I can see that the poets have written about something they feel is important. The reason why I have chosen these two poems is because both of the

Throughout the first few chapters of the essay, Leslie Marmon Silko structures the reading in a manner that allows the audience to stay truly engaged and curious of her conflictions. She uses personal experience, cultural behavior and rich pueblo history to contribute to the reflection of her culture's internal values and pure integrity. She emphasizes the impact her grandmother Amooh, as well as other countless relatives and friends, have had on her willingness to accept her disparate appearance; while also portraying what it is to be a true and humble member of her society.

On Tuesday, after the viewing of Katherine Liontas-Warren’s art collection, I received a phone call from my father, my great-aunt Lucille had passed away. It was in this frame of reference that I reflected on the exhibit of her work. Besides providing me with a means to contextualize my grief, her collection also conveys the means to explore the nature of storytelling and how it is a didactic tool. Her collection revolved around three main themes: the dripping vases, watercolor landscapes, and surreal colored pencil drawings.

Everyday I try to be as present as possible in everything that I do. As my eyes and mind finished taking in all the light touched, I began to notice what lurked in the shadows- a headless statue, parts of pillars deteriorating, and small imperfections. I did not remember this from the first time I visited the museum, which I feel shows the loss of innocence that comes with growing up. Even though when I first noticed them a sense of melancholy threatened to take away from the original serenity that I felt, I then began to find the beauty in the shadows. I always try to find the positive points in negative situations and find the beauty in what may not seem beautiful at first glance. As I looked closer at the headless statue and worn pillars I found myself imagining the stories behind them. Thinking of the hands and eyes they have touched over hundreds of years made me once again realize the beauty even in the darkest of the shadows. Even though we may lose some of our innocence as we age, we are also often less afraid of the shadows, and we are willing to walk towards them and find that what

In 1973, Alice Walker used her short story, Everyday Use, to share two separate points of views on heritage. Some people change their lifestyle, but show concern for their family’s physical mementos. In contrast, others continue to live by the same principles that they learned during their upbringing. Dee and Mama are completely black and white when it comes to their viewpoints; however, after reflecting on my own values, I see that I am gray in my opinion on the double meaning of heritage.

In this section our attendants will be able to learn a little about the main expressions of art through medium-sized sculptures that depict some of the most important characters of the complex Cherokee history. Our plan is to build a two additional rooms in this level. One will be a Virtual Reality Simulator, in which we will be able to display some of the traditional and/or heroic stories that represent this native culture; the second room will be an auditorium, where special meetings and conferences can take place.

In "Everyday Use," Alice Walker stresses the importance of heritage. She employs various ways to reveal many aspects of heritage that are otherwise hard to be noticed.
