response to the metropolitan museum

I went to the Metropolitan museum in DC. during spring break. My first impression was its grand appearance and the vast variety of sections to choose from. I did not have time to go through everything, so I looked at the areas that I find interesting. One of the sections I went to was the music section where I saw many musical instruments. What fascinated me most is the fancy and antique harpsichord. Since I am a music major, I always wanted to see real harpsicords and stare closely at the actual designs on the instrument. It was very detailed, complicated, and obviously antique looking. Another section that I looked at was the armor section. Back in Thailand, I have only seen armors in movies and I thought that it would be nice to see an actual armor. But when I saw the armors right in front of me, I felt horrified. True, that they were bold and artistic, but I kept thinking about the purpose that people wore it- to go to battlefields which lead to bloodshed. I felt depressed and moved on to other sections. For the rest of the time, I did not have a clear sense of direction. I simply walked around, looked at the different objects in front of me, and finally after about three hours I left the museum. This experience was definitely memorable and in a way, overwhelming at the same time.

A Sketch of my site map II




These sketches are roughly the ones that I would use for my website. The main colors are blue, pink, and maybe some bright green and yellow. I want this website to be light, cute, and funny. The sitemap is in the form of hub and spokes.

Collage for website

So I finally decided to make a website about Payap University.This collage is composed entirely of pictures that I dragged from Payap University's website. The reason I plan to make a website about Payap University is to inform Mary's students and staffs or any non Payap students on how Payap is really like. There may be a few funny and satirical topics, but mostly, it is going to be practical and informative. The words/phrases I would use to describe my website would be simple, realistic, practical, somewhat satirical, blue (since blue is Payap's main color, this is the color that will be seen throughout), and full of pictures.

Art Lecture by Fereshteh Toosi

Fereshteh's art was a lot of fun to look at. I found Saddam's birthday video, and the picture of a cat gaping at a computer very amusing and artistic at the same time. The nomadic genie bottle inlayed with vibrant blankets and carpets was simply gorgeous. In a way, it looked like a fancy tipi. The way that Fereshti presented her work was fun, educational, and casual.
