Maeve Day 23

I spent all of Thursday doing observations in the exhibit. I tracked 11 groups of visitors, most of whom were visiting with children. Many visitors seemed very enthusiastic about the Kota figures, probably because of the ArtSplash activity (which is a make-your-own version of the Kota figures). Parents often seemed to be bringing their children into the exhibit to look specifically at the figures, but they would get sidetracked by the tusk, power figures, and sometimes the divination kit. Visitors are much more talkative and actively engaged this week than they were before ArtSplash began--even if they visit without children.
