Week 4 Student Blog Post - Assignment Example

Blog Post A work of art is a corporeal thing with two or three dimension, which is professionally considered to poses an aesthetic function (Macdonald 12). Most peculiar art objects are usually viewed from the setting of larger art movements such as culture, genres and aesthetic convection. It is similarly viewed as an object in an artist “body of work." The ‘term work of art’ is commonly used in art galleries, museums, and by the interested public. I intend to visit Africa America museum located in Philadelphia to help me experience the work of art.

This museum digs into the history and heritage of Africans Americans ranging from literature, art of politics, and rich culture. The primary collections in this museum include the history of Philadelphian Africa Americans back in the twentieth century and showcases about the city and episodes of the black panthers to sports paraphernalia (Macdonald 34). Upon visiting this museum, I will compose a song. The lyrics of my song will be driven mainly by the rich African American culture that I will find stored in the museum.

In addition, the art of politics of the Philadelphian Africa Americans, which will be easily read from the scriptures, will heavily influence the choice of my song. Articles and publications, lectures, tours, outreach programs and workshops, so far provided in class, will be of great help for my assignment. Nevertheless, previous studies in anthropology and history will greatly enhance my ways of attacking this assignment as they provide an individual with interpretive skills. Visiting Philadelphian Africa Americans museum will greatly improve my ability to tackle the assignment as it this will offer me an opportunity for gaining practical skills and at the same time give more rooms for innovations and creativity.
