Preface
First of all I wanna talk about what Narrative Environment influenced me. At the first semester, I still remembered that after several of core time my view of watching a exhibition changed because I started find out what is narrative environment. I felt uncomfortable, Insecure and totally noisy when I in a fancy exhibition. I think it is rude when someone enter an exhibition except that he/she can have a peace and calm space to think about the subject of that but the only thing he/she and accept was designers stories, using narrative techniques to packaging the environment like implanted marketing, forced people to received without reflection which I really don't like it. I cannot disagree that this kind of exhibition made audiences receive the message successfully but I think between too much and nothing there should be a balance.
I hate somebody taught me what I should think include inspirational books. People should always think individually because no one is the same. According to my own theory I personal cannot accept that exhibitions forced to sell themselves in secret and I have no idea till now. This course make me realize that whenever and wherever your thinking may have been designed. It's really weird but I cannot stop to feel uncomfortable when I in a over design exhibition. Now, I will choose exhibition by my purpose if I want to feel the art works, I will go Portrait Museum or British Museum. Just let art works talk and different people can have their own stories through arts.
Another big impact on me was cooperative learning issues. Although I have a lot of experience of cooperation, here was I really learn how to work with people in different areas. People with design backgrounds king on think by image...

...ronment is audience. We cannot defined the visitors is the actor or the audience because they watch and perform at the same time.
The key of a successful play is good actors. In narrative environment, the key of successful is the emotion link between visitors and environment. I hope audience will not realizes that they are be designed to play the role, will not fell the pressure that force them to accept the ideas which already set up. Audience should have right to feel and think by themselves. I believe narrative environment's over design will cause audience resist instinctively. Because when human feel threatened, fight back with the source they feel uncomfortable is instinct. I do not think the conversion of point of view is bad but if an over design narrative environment make people switch their position too frequently that is really makes one feel tired.
For majority of people, cruising through a fine arts museum or gallery is nothing short of browsing through a textbook and failing to grasping knowledge of the content. A casual activity and check off ones list of to-dos, sometimes done just for the appearance it offers. Of that majority, one might look at a painting for a long while before connecting the uncommunicated dots from gallery label. But for the small remaining others, a trip to an art exhibition is a journey through emotions and feelings rendered by the artists of the particular works of art. Leo Tolstoy deems this to be the appropriate response to “true art” in his What is Art?, published in 1897. Tolstoy responds to the
While attending Hailsham the students try vigorously to strive for their best art in order to have their artwork selected for “the gallery,” which is a wide-ranging collection of their best works that is shown to the outside world. In response this changes the students view of their o...
When entering through the doors into the exhibit there is a very calm atmosphere and immediately I noticed how colorful some paintings were. The fact that the wall colors were of different colors such as Grey and white gave the room an interesting contrast and made the artworks stand our more. From my first observations I noticed that there were colorful and lots of nature themed paintings. Which made me conclude that the main theme of the exhibition was nature and society. Many of the paintings varied in size and one artist that particular stood out with the largest and most colorful paintings was Eve Drewelove. The biggest section seemed to belong to Drewelove possibly due to her paintings being bigger then most other ones. The majority of her paintings were painted by oil and her use of bright colors
The criticism relies on two assumptions. One, that rhetoric creates reality, and two, that convergence occurs. With regards to rhetoric creating reality we are to assume that the symbolic forms that are created from the rhetoric are not imitations but organs of reality. This is because it is through their agency that anything becomes real. We assume to that convergence occurs because symbols not only create reality for individuals but that individual’s meanings can combine to create a shared reality for participants. The shared reality then provides a basis for the community of participants to discuss their common experiences and to achieve a mutual understanding. The consequence of this is that the individuals develop the same attitudes and emotions to the personae of the drama. Within this criticism the audience is seen as the most critical part because the sharing of the message is seen as being so significant.
One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.
reaffirms the audience’s values and attitudes” (695). With this, we can start to dissect the
Plays are a unique form of entertainment and literature, for they typically include scenes in which characters acknowledge and address the audience directly through various monologues and soliloquies. This adds an extra interactive layer of involvement where the audience can influence a character’s decisions. For instance, in Shakespeare’s Othello, the main character, a wily young man ironically dubbed “honest” Iago stops to tell the audience about his true intentions just as often as he tries to undermine other characters. Naturally, Iago would need some release from his deceitful planning. Therefore, the audience, by silently abiding through Iago’s speeches, must be his sidekicks – albeit unwillingly – the only people Iago trusts and feels
Individuals do not learn in a void; instead they build upon the knowledge and experience that they have developed over their lives. They use their identities to shape how they learn and view the world and themselves. If the identity of the learner is not accepted and allowed to influence learning, the desired outcomes may not be accomplished. The cultivation of identities is especially important in museums and other cultural institutions and they must adapt their techniques to accomplish this. These issues of identity and learning are complex so this paper will focus on issues of representation in regard to ethnicity and gender. Furthermore, solutions to proper exhibition display and facilitation will be theorized through the lens of critical
... a way for audiences and performers to connect on a closer level. They are both experiencing the surreal, disassociating themselves from the performance taking place. They both become more introspective. The performance becomes a vehicle for self-understanding, metacognition.
Social interaction is an integral part of the human experience. “It can be defined as the process by which people act and react in relation to others”. (Macionis) The home is where social interaction begins. “Whatever patterns are introduced will be continuously modified through the exceedingly variegated and subtle interchange of subjective meanings that goes on.” (Berger and Luckmann). Erving Goffman proposed the theory of Dramaturgical analysis which presents the view of social interaction as a theatrical performance.
...verything around us is made by our actions. Positive or negative they cause an effect that will ultimately lead to a different story base on how we interpret life. Narrative elements are used as a bridge by the directors in their film to create any master plot that is currently known. Any modification at any narrative element used by the director at important moments inside the story can help you portray a different master plot. This used of narrative elements can be best described as an ever changing process that takes place inside an individual’s head. Depending on the individual that may be exposed to those narrative elements can create different meanings. This new interpretation can be different for everyone. We have to be aware that one change in the surface scenery can lead to many ideal outcomes in our minds and that is the main power the audience has.
In The Visit by Friedrich Dürrenmatt you feel unattached and are constantly reminded that you are in fact watching a play, nothing else. Dürrenmatt constructs this play using Bertolt Brecht’s epic theatre, a twentieth-century theatrical movement that was a reaction against popular forms of theatre, Dürrenmatt uses epic theatre in his work, The Visit, because he wants his audience to analysis what is being said and done instead of what they see and hear. An intellectual audience member will make connections when watching an epic play.
The shape of the theatre allows each spectator to see some of his fellow spectators as well... so they could see and respond to their collective reaction t...
Through the evolution of the performing art, the market and industry of performing start to rise in popularity. Going to theater is cool because people are able to enjoy the visual effects of live shows that people cannot experience when watching television at home. The concept of going to theater as being cool is manifested through watching live shows to strongly present the conceptual definition of cool. Live shows not only reveal the beauty of performing art through the magnificent performance but also demonstrate the integration of diverse cultures into the art performance. People in modern life are more inclined to enjoy the comfortable indoor activities instead of participating in the outdoor events. The tendency of staying at home largely reduces the opportunities for people to experience multi-cultural combination art performance and the valuable lesson for life. Live shows lead people into the world of aesthetic art form with the actors performing.
Everyone has a preference when entertaining one’s self with a drama. Live theatrical performances, video production, and reading novels or poems are a few examples of how an individual may want to expand the mind. Personally, I feel that reading a drama is the best way to experience a story, depending on the author. The mind can produce extraordinary images that a live performance or video productions are limited to. In this essay, I will be discussing comparisons and contrasts of these examples.
