"Museum of Me" Assignment

This assignment involves creating a museum as a way of showcasing aspects of yourself and your personality. Your museum must be all about YOU!

Your Museum must have 3 of the 4 following components:

(If you include all 4 components you get EXTRA CREDIT!)

1.) A Floorplan! You may either draw your floorplan by hand or you may use a website called www.gliffy.com to make a floorplan on the computer. If you choose to use gliffy.com, I would suggest making an account to save your progress so that you can access it later. For inspiration, take a look at the floorplan of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

2.) Artwork! Feature a minimum of 10 pieces of visual artwork (painting, sculpture, photography, video) in your museum exhibition.

At least two of the pieces should come from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History (CLICK HERE to access timeline)(Link: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works/)

At least two of the pieces should come from the HUMANITIES LIBRARY.

The other pieces can be any form of visual art as long as you can identify the artist by name.

3.) Soundtrack! Feature a mix of at least 10 pieces of music in your museum exhibition.

You must be able to identify the artist by name.

You can use these websites to compile your soundtracks:

Soundcloud

Everyones Mixtape

Grooveshark
Youtube

4.) Gift Shop! On the way out of your museum, guests will want to stop by the gift shop to buy mementos to remember you. Fill your gift shop with at least 10 objects that would make someone think of you. These can be as serious or as goofy as you'd like. (Examples: a picture of you / your favorite t-shirt/ your favorite candy/ your favorite movie )

******* IMPORTANT REMINDER ********

Sometime in the near future your museum will be going on display!!!! In order to display your museum, you must create a slide presentation. Each piece of artwork as well as each item in your gift shop must be on a single slide. Links to your playlist and/or floorplan must also be included in the slide presentation. Make sure your playlist is public so anyone can listen to it!
