International Museum Day

http://network.icom.museum/

On May 18th, Museums of the world are celebrating International Museum Day with free admission and other special activities. 

The International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to encourage public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society.

The worldwide community of museums will celebrate International Museum Day on and around 18 May 2016.

The theme of 2016 International Museum Day is Museums and Cultural Landscapes,  brings together nature and history. It recognizes that individuals and communities are not solely responsible for protecting and enhancing cultural landscapes. This duty is also shared by museums, as bearers of the tangible and intangible legacies of these territories.

The objective of International Museum Day is to raise awareness of the fact that, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.”

Google is celebrating Long Night of Museums 2016 by posting a beautiful Doodle on its homepage.  However the Long Night of Museums will take place on the 21st May.

Organised on and around 18 May, each year, the events and activities planned to celebrate International Museum Day can last a day, a weekend or a whole week. 

Participation in International Museum Day is growing among museums all over the world. In 2015, more than 35,000 museums participated in the event in some 145 countries.

Since 2011, ICOM has been sponsoring the European Night of Museums/ Nuit européenne des musées because this is a French idea which is held every year on the Saturday closest to the International Museum Day. 

The European Night of Museums or Nuit Européenne des Musées was created in 2005 by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. On this occasion, the closing time of the museums is postponed to approximately one in the morning, which allows the public to visit the participating museums by night, for free. 

Pour sa douzième édition, la Nuit des musées nous propose une multitude d'événements ce samedi 21 mai 2016.

Éducation: 

Les musées sont d'étonnants laboratoires où s'élaborent en continu des médiations pour le jeune public. D'où, sans doute, le succès immédiat de La classe, l’œuvre!

La classe, l'ouvre experimenté pour la première fois en 2013 rapproche les écoles, établissements scolaires et musées autour des oeuvres d'art.

En 2016, établissements scolaires et musées sont invités à participer de nouveau au projet pédagogique La classe, l’œuvre !, dans le cadre de la Nuit européenne des musées.

Pour la quatrième année consécutive, le ministère de la Culture et de la Communication et le ministère de l’Éducation Nationale, de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche reconduisent le dispositif intitulé La classe, l’œuvre ! mis en place dans le cadre de la Nuit européenne des musées.

In 2016, schools and museums are invited to participate again in the educational project The class, the work!, within the framework of the European Night of museums.

La classe, l’œuvre ! permet aux jeunes de se familiariser avec les musées. Il propose aux élèves de devenir des passeurs de culture, en s’appropriant un patrimoine commun et en le restituant auprès de leurs pairs et de leurs proches.

This year, the European Night of museums is placed under the sign of the imagination with a new digital operation: « The Night ( Magination) ». 

This year still, more than 3 000 museums in 30 countries of Europe participate in the European Night in museums, becoming, time (weather) of evening, a place of expression welcoming all the arts: 

• Music 

• Theater

• Literature

• Gastronomy 

• Cinema.

Teachers and students can do a research on the world programme here.

Museums were invited to choose, among their collections, a work (or a detail of work) which could evoke the night: mystery, magic, dream, fantasy, sleep, bestiary, supernatural, darkness, love, illusions.

All the selected works were published on the page Facebook official of The Night of museums ! 

You are right now invited to caption the works by showing creativity. The most original proposals will soon be collected on the official site of the European Night by museums, then to you to play!

I would like to introcude you a wonderful exhibition at Grand Palais, Paris that we can visit the Nuit européenne des musées, 21 May: Autour de l’exposition Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, ce bel et illustre inconnu. A Portuguese painter, one of the most important artistsof the XX century.

Some Activities:

• Visit museums with your students. Please read Uma Aula no Museu  (Portuguese language) an interesting pedagogical activity to develop writing skills through Paula Rego's paintings (cross-curricular Languages, Arts, History, ICT).
• Watching different paintings the students get inspiration to write stories or draw some interesting works.

• Introduce your students to museum-sponsored events. Tell your students about this weekend’s "Teen Night Out" with you or their family.

• Explore museum galleries online. Invite your students to spend some time enjoying Will.i.am au Louvre; Google Art Project; Google Street Art, or visiting other online exhibitions from local and international museums. So your students can watch works by incredible artists and debate their experiences in the classroom next week (cross-curricular).
• Another activity could be a pic at the Museum. During a visit to the Museum, invite the students to snap some pics of their choice.

Visit La Nuit en Europe to find the huge list of European Museums and activities to organize a school visit on the 21st May.

Will.i.am au Louvre

"Profondément marqué par sa visite du plus grand musée du monde, will.i.am a ensuite puisé son inspiration de cette expérience pour imaginer le clip de la chanson « Monna Lisa Smile »."

The long night of Museums in Europe 2016 is approaching. On this night, local cultural institutions will stay open extra-late to celebrate culture, science, and education.

In antecipation of the next post I would like to share with teachers all over the world a R&B and Art project.

Last April 12, 2016 the Musée du Louvre & Will.i.am presented Will.i.am au Louvre. In an exclusive launch on dailymotion last April, will.i.am unveiled two new works in association with the Louvre:

Will.i.am Feat Nicole Scherzinger

Mona Lisa

https://www.facebook.com/william/

•  The “Mona Lisa Smile” video featuring Nicole Scherzinger, a reinterpretation of the song “Mona Lisa Smile” from the album #Willpower.

•  A twelve-minute documentary, “will.i.am at the Louvre, evoking themes such as creativity in the 18th century, Marie-Antoinette, and scientific objects. 

The artist expounds on parallels between technological inventions, the cult of celebrity, and the social media of today and tomorrow. 

He is joined in the video by David Rowan, editor of the magazine Wired UK, and Frédéric Dassas, curator at the Department of Decorative Arts of the Musée du Louvre.

This remarkable and unprecedented collaboration is the fruit of many years of work.

In 2010, the Louvre welcomed a production team from New York to film a documentary that was part of the “Visionaries” series. 

This episode was devoted to will.i.am and used to launch Oprah Winfrey’s TV channel, OWN.

Deeply inspired by his visit to the Musée du Louvre, the world's largest museum, will.i.am tapped into the experience to create a video for the song Mona Lisa Smile.

But the creative juices didn’t stop there: the artist sought to perpetuate, and especially share with others, his great appreciation for the museum by producing a documentary on the newly renovated rooms of the Department of Decorative Arts and the surrounding galleries.

Education:

The Louvre, encouraged by the artist’s keen interest in a wide range of artistic expression and commitment to educating today’s youth, is very pleased to play such a prominent role in his enthusiasm for ancient art and desire to share his passion.

Of course you remember my post Schools: Take a Selfie with a Painting. Such a huge success at school! Students loved the project and they made an incredible job.

Now, here a new project Art & Tech to include into the school curriculum to prepare your students to the long night of the Museums?

The Black Eyed Peas

Will.i.am?

Students know who is will.i.am. Will.i.am hardly needs an introduction. His artistry runs the gamut, from DJ to musician, rapper, singer, and producer.

Born William James Adams, Jr., Will.i.am is the founding member of the Black Eyed Peas, one of the most prominent bands of the past decade. 

In 2003, when Fergie joined the group, the band was propelled to stardom, selling 46 million albums winning six Grammy Awards and six NRJ Music Awards.

Will.i.am has an insatiable curiosity and passion for all kinds of new technology, he created some interesting tech staff.

But Will.i.am is true philanthropist. will.i.am has leveraged his fame over the years to fight for causes he believes in.

With a commitment "to inspire kids to stay in school and go to college to become the leaders of tomorrow", will.i.am advocates regarding the importance and power of a good education through his i.am angel foundation.  

The i.am scholarship provides future leaders and innovators with comprehensive financial assistance to complete post-secondary education.   

The i.am.angel Foundation has also created i.am.STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math), an elementary and middle school initiative to provide underserved students with learning and interaction opportunities beyond the classroom in collaboration with Discovery Education.  

In addition, the i.am angel foundation is also active in the U.K. through a STEM education and computer skills joint initiative with The Prince’s Trust.

You must say to your students how awesome will.i.am is. Not only as a musician. Let the students know this wonderful humanitarian side of this great man.

Some thoughts:

Why not adapt will.i.am Mona Lisa Smile ft Nicole Scherzinger in school curriculum and develop a cross-curricular project to enhance learning in Arts and technology. Students will be so excited!

Will.i.am au Louvre willl be an wonderful activity to motivate students to admire classical painting, don't you think?

Cross-curricular p projet: Languages ; Arts ; Music ; History ; ICT.

Target: All grades (different activities, of course) ; High school ; Vocational school.

Activities:

• Invite your students to visit online the Mona Lisa Smile: where art becomes alive, taking some notes on their tablets or smartphones. 
• Start a discussion on the theme. 

• Students must choose a 'alive portrait and do some reseach on the painting;

• Organize a school visit at a museum near your school;

• Check to see if photography is allowed. Ask for permission to take photos during the visit ; 

• Remember the students not to touch/accidentally fall into the painting and/or annoy the custodians or other visitors ;

• Invite the students to take a pic from a painting. Let them free to choose the painting;

• Students must get some information about the painting they chose at the museum as well;

• After the school visit, students will do their alive paintng with the help of ICT.

• Present an exhibition from your class at the school library. It will be a success! 

Of course you can develop some other activities. It's up to you to be creative.
