Podcast Presentation Notes
Katie chose to highlight the Tacoma Art Museum. All pieces are part of Dale Chihuly Exhibit. 8 different sections cell phone. Sends you around the city, gets you out of the museum. Makes connections beyond the art work.
Luiz chose a VMFA podcast about Che Guevara with a very formal narrator, David Crawley, intelligent, but perhaps difficult to digest for a broad group. Complicated english, very rehearsed. Woman annoying in repeated attempts to get you to "look close"...only works in the museum. Would like to have had some more background information. Very English, "BBC" approach.
Soh Yoon chose a cast from the Royal Ontario Museum, which has video. Interesting thing..one video uses sign language to describe. Accessible for other learners. Another positive is you don't need to be there. Interviews w/ artists. Podcast is used to show the behind the scenes view of the museum.
Shannon chose a podcast from smARThistory about Rembrandt. Major criticism is that the volume is so low. Even after listening several times difficult to hear along with background noise. Includes music, intro and orientation good. Fluid dialogue good, does not feel scripted. No image, but great. Background noise high and perhaps voice and content might be a little off-putting to some.
Sasha chose the Santa Barbara Museum of Art podcast that interviews Scott McLean and his travels to Tibet. Cannot access podacst through website and art being referenced is a negative. Portraits and landscapes. Not pretentious, low key and personal ..as if a journal...recorded his interactions with people. Casual..create a relationship with listenerrs using a personal viewpoint.
Jan chose "Ways of Seeing" a podcast for teens about the exhibit curated by John Baldessari. Geared towards adolescents, funky chooses 8 pieces based on whether or not they might appeal to teens. Begin with a hook and sensational statements that may draw young people in. Constantly refers to popular culture and relevance to teens. Young women's voice, pleasant, but possible not authoritative enough.
Synopsis: Fix technical isses, avoid stuffy narrators, scholarly content and overly complicated grammar...but as educators we have our biases.... must need to access the images online that are addressed by the podcasts.
Age specific, targeting a particular audience, may be good or bad.
Perhaps break up into sections, begin and end with music, conoversational tone, scripted, but not too rehearsed,
