1. I like the students can gather and create their own personal galleries. It makes using the website much more interactive and inclusive for the user. Students can create tags that they see fit for each image, this is a good creative tool to help students categorize and speak about artwork. I think many students would enjoy using this site to explore museum collections. Bringing this into the classroom can work as a great way to introduce a collection The Brooklyn Museum holds or is a great pre/post visit activity. It really gives students an idea of what is available at the museum and what different artwork can be created about this idea of New York City and New York City artists.


The main limitation I found with Posse was the fact the images were so small due to copyright issues. They didn't provide the same amount of detail to look an actually experience the paintings. For this reason, I may suggest that this could be used after a museum visit or viewing the pieces in a slideshow or in a larger format.

2. I learned that I really tend to lean towards black and white photography when viewing the collection. I appreciated all of the artwork that was available on the site, but I really enjoyed the different photographs. I also seem to have an attraction to contemporary artwork. It was fun to see the different galleries created and see who had what images in common. I also liked reading everyone's creative names!
