peer meeting

I did not realize until today that we were allowed to count the times we met up with our peers during class time as actual peer meetings. Every class period that we have left over time to explore SL Elise and I have been meeting up and have been visiting various different muesums and theatres, they are just not recorded. I hope we can still get credit for these, cause we met up a lot more than it appears!

Today during class time, Elise, Kris and me met at the Sistine Chapel that was re-created by Stan Frangible. It was a very neat recreation with various, and large tapestries. The resolution also seemed very clear, which made the pics much better to view. We also visited the Theatre Hoh also known as the Hosei Research Center, here you can find the Nagami Memorial Noh Theatre Research Institute of Hosei University Virtual Museum. Much of the writings were in Japanese.

Tonight Elise and I logged on together and teleported to the Seoraksan Artisti della Memoria Papper's Art Corner. This was an Italian art exhibition. There was a variety of art work displayed here, as well as a giant horse head! Unfortuanately, we did not see any other avatars there to talk to about the art exhibition. It also had boxes that could teleport to different locations, such as Upbar-Arena media art culture experience in Italy, as well as a place in Barcelona. It looked quite interesting.

Tonight Kris and I met at our home base in the virtual classroom. We talked about what we needed to add for the requirements for our intro, in order to make sure they were met. We also talked about topics and gave each other some tips before we actually published our posts for the intro.

Introduction

Would you say that you have a dreadfully dull and lifeless luxury life? Are you disappointed because you believe it is impossible to escape to past events in history that you have always wanted to experience? Or maybe you are discouraged because you don’t have the courage to swim with sharks through an abandoned shipwreck, or because you are too far away to even fantasize about seeing a live theatre production on Broadway. Believe it or not, second life offers a variety of these similar opportunities to its viewers. Second Life’s enormous assortment of artistry gives individuals the opportunity to explore an array of historical and educational features. The vast collection of museums found in Second Life opens doors of the past, present, and future to individuals. Many of the museums are very original and provide hands-on learning activities to provide entertainment, and more importantly a beneficial strength to the avatar’s knowledge and learning. The diversity of artwork found in Second Life is certainly not limited to museums. Artistry can also be viewed from the chair of a theater building, as there are many live productions put on by other avatars. Various exhibitions and art studios can also give an avatar the opportunity to show a piece of handiwork for others, from all around the world, to admire. Through museums, theatres, exhibitions, and art studios, Second Life can offer a unique genre of authentic artistry to its viewers,that they may otherwise never see.

First meeting

Today at about 9:00 p.m. Elise, Kris and Me (Kerri Mnemonic) met in the Harlem Virtual Classroom at our home base. We discussed our topics with each other. Elise and I are both doing the theatre, art, and art studios topic, while Kris is doing the religion one. We also shared our thesis statements with each other and gave each other tips on how we could improve them. We plan to meet again soon and teleport together to a destination to attain further research for our topics.
