Paul Getty Exhibit"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Joanna and I visited the Getty Museum and looked at the J. Paul Getty exhibit. This exhibit incorporated photography and an interactive touch screen. Compared to the Nazi Olympics exhibit in CAAM, the J. Paul Getty exhibit had the perfect balance of text and pictures. The photos were aesthetically placed and easy to read. Each photo was paired with just the right amount of text. Users could use the touch screen, freely and at their own pace, to read more details on different events in Getty&#8217;s life, his interests, and so forth. I personally enjoyed this exhibit more than the CAAM&#8217;s Nazi Olympics because the design and information was not overwhelming.<br \/>\nMy favorite part of the exhibit was the touchscreen because it was innovative and a tasteful use of technology. It was similar to using an iPad and the screen was responsive and functioned smoothly. The &#8220;Getty Collects&#8221; and &#8220;Antiquities &amp; the Villa&#8221; touchscreens used a circular design on the main screen that was slightly confusing to navigate. I found myself selecting randomly, not knowing what categories I was selecting. Instead, the J Paul Getty&#8217;s life touchscreen was my favorite because it used a tiled photo design with clear headlines like &#8220;Named Richest Man in the World&#8221; and &#8220;Where Getty Lived&#8221;. Out of all the touchscreens, we interacted with this one the longest simply because it was the most smooth and easy-to-navigate.<br \/>\nPatrons followed the natural flow of the exhibit&#8211; they started by reading the introductory timeline piece, a timeline with selected events, pictures, and short descriptions. We observed that a lot of families with young children were visiting the Getty that day. Families that saw this exhibition spent a lot of time reading the first piece, the timeline paired with photographs. Patrons also played with the interactive touch screens. We found that most patrons actually spent most of their time reading through the &#8220;Life and Legacy&#8221; timeline because it really lays out the critical events in a beautiful and simple fashion.<br \/>\nHighly recommend visiting this exhibit and the Getty!!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1004\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17148861_1589883131027219_785131808_o-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17148861_1589883131027219_785131808_o-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17148861_1589883131027219_785131808_o-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17148861_1589883131027219_785131808_o-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17148861_1589883131027219_785131808_o.jpg 1334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1002\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17121855_1589883114360554_182409104_o-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17121855_1589883114360554_182409104_o-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17121855_1589883114360554_182409104_o-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17121855_1589883114360554_182409104_o.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1003\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17148839_1589883091027223_1692481_o-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17148839_1589883091027223_1692481_o-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17148839_1589883091027223_1692481_o-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17148839_1589883091027223_1692481_o.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> J<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1001\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17121683_1589883084360557_89458112_o-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17121683_1589883084360557_89458112_o-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17121683_1589883084360557_89458112_o-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh150w17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/17121683_1589883084360557_89458112_o.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joanna and I visited the Getty Museum and looked at the J.
