Directions: . Please search for all of the following artworks and exhibitions on the web site for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, www.metmuseum.org In most cases, you will find that you can enlarge the images, zoom in and out for close-ups or wider views, and scroll up or down and/or side to side. For some of the artworks, The Met has given you more than one image, so you can see those artworks from different vantages. You will also find that The Met has provided its own description and discussion for each of these artworks. Of course you should read that text to get some ideas. . HOWEVER, YOU ARE ASKED NOT TO COPY AND PASTE THE MUSEUM TEXT. Rather, you are asked to USE YOUR OWN WORDS in describing and discussing each art-work as clearly and completely as you can
For the description part Please try to describe the artwork clearly and completely, so that someone who is not looking at it can imagine it quite well. Please note the positioning of the figure(s) and/or the action, and/or the facial expressions and/or the hand gestures, and/or the colors and/or the textures and/or other details that catch your attention. Four or five sentences will probably be plenty.
For the discussion part, You can also relate an artwork to other artworks, if you want to, in terms of subject matter and/or style and/or physical materials and/or national/cultural origins and/or other considerations that interest you. Again, four or five sentences will probably be plenty.
Finally, you are asked whether you have additional commentary to add. This would be an appropriate place to express your opinion about the artwork.
On The Met’s web site, you will find the search button in the upper right-hand corner. After you click the word “Search,” you will be given a box. In that search box, all you have to input is the accession number, which I have provided for each artwork. I have also given you the identification of the artwork as it will appear when you find it. With that, you can be certain that you have put the accession number in correctly and found the right artwork. In some cases, you might need to scroll down to find the identification that you see here.

NOTE: The artworks for numbers 9 and 10 are not yet in the public domain, so you can’t zoom and pan with the images on the Met web site. You might be able to enlarge the images if you have a touch-screen or a panel-mouse. However, for both of these artworks, The Met has provided audio clips to complement the text. If you scroll down the screen, you’ll find the clips. The audio explanations and discussions are short, but quite interesting—especially the second clip for number 9, the slit gong, which is a musical communication instrument meant not only to be seen, but more importantly, to be heard.

On The Met’s web site, at the top of the page in the red ribbon, toward the left, you will see “Exhibitions.” When you hover over that word with your cursor, the dropdown menu gives you three choices: “Current Exhibitions,” “Upcoming Exhibitions,” and “Past Exhibitions.” Five of the exhibitions I am asking you to visit are current exhibitions, and one (the first one on this list) is a past exhibition. Each exhibition has a number of things to read, look at, and listen to. You can find images of the exhibition artworks that are on display in the museum, you can find interviews with the artists and/or the curators, you can find audio clips and video clips, articles, and more. You are asked to visit these exhibitions and spend some time exploring each one, taking notes while you go.
