Description: When designing my podcast I wanted to focus on my passion of museums and art galleries. I remember as a child I would watch the art history videos done by the Khan Academy and decided to start my own Art History focused podcast which covers Italian Renaissance Art in Season 2. I used this episode cover image as one of the images I took of one of Botticelli’s works at the Louvre and will focus on medium, time period, and artist’s bio in the episode.

The opening audio is a classic work of violin music by Corelli titled “Trio Sonata” and was taken from Wikipedia commons. As well the ending sound effect to conclude the introduction is church bell tolls from Italy titled “Campane Dardine” also found on the Wikipedia commons. I used Corelli’s Sonata as background music also behind my voice during the intro before transitioning to the Campane Dardine. The cover image, music, and sound effect all align to the theme of the Italian Renaissance.

Scrolling through my own camera roll I found an image that I thought could be improved using some simple cropping techniques. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Paris last spring and while there I was able to visit the Louvre Museum. While I was there the museum had a considerably large crowd which featured tourists from all over the world. The two most popular attractions of the Louvre were the Mona Lisa, and Venus de Milo. The latter was my favorite of the two but I struggled to get a good photo of where the room the Venus de Milo is kept in appeared empty. I along with many other visitors longed to have a moment alone in a room with a priceless piece of ancient art and so I cropped the image to change the experience of the viewer for the better.

Following the rule of thirds the cropped image resets focus directly towards the Venus de Milo and away from the hustle and bustle of busy tourists venturing through the museum. Although I believe the Venus de Milo is the main focal point of both images, removing the bottom third of the image removes distracting elements such as the barricade below the statue and the distracting line of people walking by as well. As well the cropping also changes the coloring to feature a much warmer theme where there is now mainly pink marble and yellow light as the background to the white statue. Before cold colors such as on one girls blue sweater also could have distracted the viewer and contrasted sharply with the pink marble meant to be the background color for the statue.

Upon researching topics the idea of the Industrial Revolution came into mind as I’ve always been more of a city buff. Yet at the same time I enjoy nature and it’s gifts such as horses, dogs, cats, trees, and flowers. How can someone want to both be in an urban center yet have nature all around them at the same time? Although I’ve never been or lived in London I have lived in New York and often would find myself strolling in Central Park, appreciating flower stands, or watching birds and squirrels make homes in the trees. Wondering why people are drawn to the nostalgia of living more among nature it brought me to my audio choice being a part of Beethoven’s 6th Symphony, specially the pastoral suite pt. III. The theme of the pastoral contrasting with London a portrait of Industrial Era London may seem strange at first. However, when you look more closely at the painting you see elements of nature all through the cityscape such as the roads still being open dirts, trees growing along the buildings, and storefronts painted with earthy colors. It makes me feel that people even in large cities still feel a sense of nostalgia for when humans were more immersed in nature and are still trying to recreate it.

Hello everyone,

My name is Jacob and I am currently studying for my MSI degree here at FSU! I am currently a social studies teacher in Jacksonville, Florida. I enjoy visiting museums, historic sites, new restaurants, and watching documentaries in my free time. I am hoping to gain a lot of new creative and technical skills to apply to being a school librarian in the future. I especially will take interest in the story development and digital storytelling units within the course.

To learn more about my interests you can see the website of our local museum called the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens (www.cummermuseum.org)

Also to see more in the area historic St. Augustine is about 30 minutes south from me. Here is a guide to different sights to explore in the area. oldcity.com

Farewell,

Jacob
