Museum

The Bower's museum helped me understand what the museums has to show all of us and it made the facts about China more interesting than just reading it out of a book. They had very fragile and interesting artifacts. For each artifact, there were little observations that you could notice and it can tell you how it was used. For example, on one of the potteries, the design was only at the top. That can tell us that the pottery was probably on sand and they covered up the bottom so it can stay. I learned that the Chinese people think that 9 is an auspicious number. The Bower's museum gave us ideas on how we can present and make our presentation interesting and fun.
The people in my group were Athena Mao and Jonathan Mak. We did our project on Japanese pottery. On a clay, we wrote down different pottery marks and the pottery marks help people know when the pottery was made. We got different pictures of the Japanese pottery like the Imari, Arita, Kakiemon, and Bizen. The other members of my group did a really good job. They gave all their effort researching and they got really interesting facts. We helped each other if we got stuck on a part and that helped us work faster.
The other people did a really good job presenting. You can tell that they worked really hard on the project and that they were creative. Watching the other people present also helped me learn things that i never knew. The project that the other people did shows their own creativity and how much they learned.
