2B

What does MoLAA stand for? . Museum of Latin American Art

Explain what you see on the above video clips (be specific)? In the YouTube clips I saw portraits, painting and different style of Latin American art. There was a lot of bright color, time and energy put into all of this art. The music also help set the mood for the viewing of the art. Many of the pieces were unique, not anything you would find in your average museum

What did you learn from the video clips (3 facts)? In the back of my mind I also saw Latin American art as portraits of people using bright, rich warm colors, but there were many darker paiting, art with American flags and soilders in them, and statues. Many of these art pieces are on loan. Latin American art as a lot more to offer than meets the eye, people need to become better aware of this.

Create 3 questions for your classmates based on the clips or websites (tell them which specific link to visit to find the answer)
1. Who is the founder of the Museum of Latin American Art (Answer found on the website)?
2. How does the great museum stay afloat (Answer found on the website)?
3. Where is the Museum located( be specific) Answer found on the website)?



List any 3 things you learned from the MoLAA website (be specific; give concrete answers for which your classmates can follow-up in upcoming assignments)
1. The MOLAA depends on support from benefactors as well as donations in order to sustain their wonderful find art exhibitons.

2.Dr. Gumbiner was an initial contributor to the Huntington Beach Arts Center in Huntington Beach, California, the Art Museum at California State University, Long Beach and the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California.

3.Dr. Gumbiner dedicated his time and financial support to two major art projects. The first, the Ethnic Art Institute of Micronesia, located on the island of Yap, and the second, the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) founded in Long Beach, California in 1996, is the only museum in the United States that exclusively features contemporary Latin American fine art.
