The main purpose of museum is to neither educate nor entertain but rather to create a memory bank that would remind us of the past. Most societies in different parts of the world traced their origin through the works of arts history. All across the world there are hundreds of museums filled with history, information, shows, and famous documents. A variety of museums display interesting objects. A mix of cultures, historical events, famous people, and art work in the whole museum. Rather than having different attractions, some museums are dedicated to showing of shows based on a particular topic of history or interest for example the National Museum.
Upon going for an exhibition at one of the national museums, the experience I gained was very valuable and important on the understanding of the artworks used by the early humans . The visual experience gained during the exhibition was more appealing compared to reading of the curatorial essay about the exhibition at the museum which was entitled the The American Early Plates. The visual experience gives a visitor the chance to physically interact with artifacts especially when one can touch the artifacts. The curator essay about the exhibition in the museum had a lot of significance in understanding the artifacts used in the exhibition. The curatorial essay gave me the knowledge of understanding the origin, uses and dates of the various artifacts I visually witnessed at the museum. In general the visiting of the museum exhibit gave me a valuable experience as demonstrated.
The exhibition made me understand that a museum is an institution housing collections of objects of artistic, historic, or scientific interest and displayed for the educational and enjoyment of the public. I also noticed that Museums are places of memory that provides the link of distant past to the present generation which also help the society to know the path their forebears trod. The visit of the exhibition gave me the understanding of the artifacts in the display for example the display of an artifact referred to as the American earliest plate
The exhibition gave visitors the experience of comparing the modern American plates and those used in the early days. The exhibition gave the visitors a great chance to know the improvements the materials presented at the exhibition have undergone over time and the factors that have triggered such improvements. The visitors were also able learn history behind the making such of plates, the skills for making such plates and their relevance in those days.
In conclusion special exhibition helps one understand that museums are trustworthy, the importance of various artifacts to aid in the reconstruction of history. One is also able to compare the artifacts in museum with related objects which are currently in use. The importance of museum to hold a special exhibition for various artifacts is also understood.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. They seem like different things, but they have more in commonThey seem like different things, but they have more in common
than you might imagine.than you might imagine.
Art and Science
4. The systematic study of the structure and
behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
science | sīəns|ˈ noun
Which could also be a really good definition for
observational art.
5. Drawing and painting are ways that we interpret what we observe.
Nomadic prehistoric people drew images of the animals they
observed in their surroundings.
6. When human tribes began developing settled
communities during the Neolithic era (9000-3000 bce)
7. This is one of the oldest maps ever found.
Dating from 6200 BCE it depicts the
Neolithic village, “CATAL HOYUK”, in what is
now Turkey.
...it became necessary for people to know where they were in
relationship to their surroundings. This way traveling traders and
visitors could find them. People had to put themselves “on the map”.
8. Perhaps the earliest natural history book ever written was the
Naturalis Historiae written in 77 AD. by a Roman officer and
author named Pliny the Elder.
Pliny (pronounced Plin-ee) lived during the reigns of the
Roman Emperors Claudius, Nero and Vespasian.
Pliny
9. Pliny documented strange and interesting animals and people from
far away lands, gathering his information from the travels of sailors
and soldiers. Some descriptions were very accurate, and others... not
so much:
“It is reported that, on (the shores of Ethiopia),
four or five Dragons wrap together… and travel thus across
the seas to (search for food) in Arabia,
cutting the waves and bearing their heads aloft like sails.”
10. In the 12th
and 13th
centuries, Pliny’s descriptive
entries about exotic and mythical animals were used by artists to
created medieval picture books called “Bestiaries”.
Dragon attacking an Elephant Basilisk
11. Around this same
time period, (1254-
1324) a famous
explorer named
Marco Polo
traveled from
Italy to Asia. He
returned with
detailed descriptions
of the people,
animals, artifacts,
resources and
geography of the Far
East.
12. The Travels of Marco Polo
This illustrated
document of his
journeys
became the most
popular book of
it’s time.
13. In addition to information and illustrations,
Marco Polo returned to Europe with exotic spices. This ignited
a flurry of exploration to find a profitable sea route to Asia.
14. This era of exploration, sparked by spice, is known as the
“Age of Discovery”

– 17th
centuries)
Amerigo Vespucci

17. This voyage, and two more that came after it,
are among the most famous in history, due in large part to their artists.
In 1768, the English sent an expedition to chart a mysterious continent.
Artists were sent to compile impressions of this continent
that was known only as “Terra Australis Incognita”,
meaning: Unknown Southern Land.
18. These expeditions are known as: The Voyages of
Captain Cook
A humble coal boat
named “The Endeavor”
was chosen to carry a
hand-picked group of
naval officers and
scientists to the farthest
reaches of the Pacific to
a continent we now know
as: Australia
19. Sydney Parkinson was one of the
Endeavor’s two artists. He made
the first sketches of the plants, animals and people
the Endeavor encountered. The expedition’s other artist,
Alexander Buchan, documented the landscapes.
Sydney Parkinson
20. These are some of the journal drawings Sydney Parkinson made on
the Endeavor expedition in 1769
21. In 1778 he published his drawings, maps, geological observations and
discoveries in a personal account of his journeys titled:
Travels through the Interior Parts of North America.
It was an instant best seller.
On the other side of the world on the mostly unknown continent of
North America, Jonathan Carver, a man from the English colony of Massachusetts,
was exploring the territories west of the
Mississippi River.
22. His detailed drawings of North America’s tribes and their cultural artifacts, the native
plants, and his maps of rivers and lakes excited the imaginations and desires of
Europeans curious about the available resources of this new land.

23. In 1802 France was at war with England. Thomas Jefferson, then president of the United
States, was aware of the costs of this war on France and saw an opportunity to buy a
French owned territory in North America for the United States. He deftly negotiated a
treaty with Napoleon Bonaparte to purchase this land from France.
This historic real-estate deal became known as
The Louisiana Purchase.
35 years after Carver cut his path through North America’s wilderness,
world events were aligning to set the stage for another epic journey
of adventure and discovery.
24. President Jefferson enlisted the services of William Clark and Meriwether
Lewis to head up a team of “intelligent officers with ten or twelve men to
explore (these lands) even to the Western Ocean”.
This group of men became known as
The Corps Of Discovery
The acquisition of this land increased the territory of the United States considerably.
Thomas Jefferson wanted to send a team into this wild,
uncharted land to find out what it held.
25. Drawing of a Northwest Coast canoe, William Clark, 1806

Engraved Expedition Map, from drawing by William Clark, 1814
The Corps of Discovery did not
include any designated artists.
Each person on the mission was
required to perform several
duties.
Clark and Lewis each had a
hand in creating the naturalist
drawings and detailed maps that
made up the bulk of visual
information compiled from their
expedition.
26. Lewis and Clark’s expedition set a precedent for exploration of the American West.
In 1819, Major Stephen H. Long began a scientific expedition
with attention focused on the central and southern
Great Plains and the Front Range of the Rockies.
27. Recognizing the importance of scientific and artistic
observation, this exploring party included a botanist, a
zoologist, and two skilled artists to document the
discoveries of the journey.
These included
Thomas Say, a skilled artist and naturalist...
28. …and his assistant, Titian Ramsay Peale, artist/naturalist and son of the famous
Revolutionary war era painter, Charles Willson Peale.

The subjects that Naturalist Artists choose to describe
can vary widely. The unifying theme is: what looks interesting?
30. In this workshop we are going to try to describe the nature we see.
What things might interest you as a naturalist?
What things might you as a discoverer/artist want to document?
31. We will create our own
Naturalist Notebooks
using artifacts, objects,
living things, and
anything from nature
that you would like to
include.
First, lets start with the
notebook.
32. Notebooks can be purchased or created. One example of a
purchased book is this one from Jerry’s Art-a-Rama.
It costs under $4.
But you might prefer to make your own.
33. To make a DIY sketch book, take about
20 sheets of 8.5 x 11 printer paper and
1 sheet of 8.5 x 11 card stock.
Fold in half with card stock on outside,as cover, for a 40 page booklet that
measures 8.5 x 5.5.
“Saddle Staple” the middle fold.
These staplers are available for use at popular print stores.
34. If you are doing this in a classroom and cannot go outside, gather as
many naturalist items as you can for your students to draw.
These might include:
Feathers
Seashells
Twigs
Leaves
Bones
Rocks
Minerals
Flowers
Eggs
35. Obviously going outside is preferable. If you can do
this, challenge your students to really experience their
environment:
Smell the air:
how many things can you smell?
Shut your eyes:
what different sounds do you hear?
Lie on the ground:
what do you feel?
Look at the world from ground level:
What do you see?
Walk around and explore:
what can you find?
36. Try this Thought
Experiment:
Imagine you are new to this continent, or this planet.
Using only words and pictures (created by you)
it is your Mission
to document all of the details you can of this new
world so that people at home
who have never seen this place
can share your experience.
How can you best describe
your observations to them?
37. If you are not in a state park, take samples of the things you are
drawing, like a leaf, flower or feather, to add to your notebook.
This will make your documentation even richer for the viewer.
(Note: State Parks do not allow removing items from their property.)
38. Most importantly: look at details.
We spend much of our time rushing without stopping to observe and
experience the many beautiful things that are
right in front of us.
This project is about slow looking and observation:
take time to smell the flowers!
