Week Two
In going through my research findings, I was inspired by the giant statue of one of the Muses. I had my preconcieved notions of what a “Muse” was in my own art, but I had never considered the ancient Greek myths of the nine muses. Upon researching more on the Muses, I realized they could be the perfect avenue to educate the general public on all different forms of art. The muses each represent nine pillars of art as defined by the ancient Greeks.
Astronomy,
hymns,
tragic theatre,
comedic theatre,
history,
epic poetry,
song,
dance,
lyrical poetry are the main themes of art that the Greeks deemed important enough to represent with a Muse for each.
I identified 3 user personas for the scavenger hunt, one inspired by the multitude of children on a field trip the day we visited, one inspired by an elderly woman who asked for my help using her phone while on the MFA steps, and one inspired by myself, having visited the MFA the week prior to researching for this project. Based on a persona, I identified a user path based on their MFA experience, and how I could solve their problems.
I concepted four different options of each touchpoint: desktop, social media, wayfinding & augmented reality.
