Late on Wednesday night, my phone ringed. It was a text message from my friend Pedro, “Do you want to visit an art museum tomorrow”. Knowing I needed to go, I texted him back quickly, “pick me up after your class tomorrow and we can adventure to The Weatherspoon Art Museum at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro”. After Pedro’s class, we explored the museum observing multiple art works, and I was invoked by three, art pieces. All three were different and intriguing in their own way. For instance, the painting that is on top of the cover page with all the wavy hair was painted by Catherine Murphy and is known as the “Frosted”. This painting was very delightful because of its unique elements. Second, the sculpture in the middle of the cover page is an image of a wooded animal. This sculpture was crafted by Deborah Butterfield and is recognized as Lunalilo. Also, at the bottom of the cover page is a sculpture constructed by Dan Graham, the sculpture was known as Triangle Solid with …show more content…
One way specific, this painting expressed the rhythm with the wavy hair. All the parts of the hair have no pointy ends, it flows smoothly with the all the other portions of the hair, making ocean wave shapes. I think the author was trying to emphasize the waviness of the hair. Also, she uses depth to help express the painting. Its zoomed up on the backside of a person’s head, only showing hair with only one body part showing. The body part can be seen on top of the painting which appears to be the person’s neck. Furthermore, she paints a natural light gold color for the hair, but the gender of the person is unknown. Though the hair is long and wavy, it appears to be more masculine than feminine. She was probably emphasizing the equal elements of a man and woman. Overall, the painting leaves the audience with a warm feeling that uses the rhythm of hair to express
This Summer, I had the opportunity to spend my entire break attending conferences and interning at a lab at UCSD so I thought to myself I would never have the time to visit any art museum or do my summer assignments for that matter. That was until I realized I was living at a campus who had an art piece practically on every corner of their six colleges. I then began my journey, on scooter, to discover the hidden and the not so hidden gems The Stuart Collection at UCSD had to offer. It was then that I fell in love with 2 specific art pieces throughout the campus, those being Do Ho Suh’s Fallen Star, which depicts an immigrant’s transition into American culture, and Kiki Smith’s Standing, which depicts a seemingly tortured woman.
During our visit to the El Paso Museum of Art, our docent (insert name) took us on a tour of their current exhibitions: Robert Delaunay and Albert Gleizes: The School of Paris from Modern Master Series: Highlights from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Immaculate Conception, Amplified Abstraction, and Modern Stone Totems. In addition to our expedition we observed art of Mexico and New Spain that showcased 17th and 19th century paintings and sculptures. European art with includes paintings and sculptures from the Samuel H. Kress Collection. As well as, early American art from the 19th century to the mid 20th century.
Whether pride, fear, or peace, art is intended to make the viewer feel an emotion. The visit to the St. Louis Art Museum had me excited to discover a new revelation. Being the second time that I had visited in two semesters, I was looking forward to a new angle to take, writing about some of my favorite pieces I was unable to include in my last paper. This semester we have been focusing on the Renaissance era (1300-1700), also known as the Rebirth. During this time, scholars and artists looked back towards the classical learning. Purposefully looking past the middle-ages, they focused on the classical past of Rome and Greece. During this time period many works of art were created, however, throughout this semester every major artist we studied
The paint is really amazing. The idea meets the objective of the message. As you can see the shapes interact with each other by the painter use unique color that matched almost all the colors used in the entire painting. Some of the edge is hard while some parts are soft. Like on the left side by the lady on red with black hat. That was hard. While the image on her right looks soft. The image of the people on the painting seems to overlap each other. While that on the front seems to be bend.
For this project, I chose the Tampa Museum of Art. My daughter Annabelle, who is eleven, accompanied me. She is an aspiring young artist who loves to paint and assemble collages. This paper will describe our trip, the museum’s activities, and what was on exhibit. After which, I will choose two works of art and preform an analysis on them. I will employ the formal elements and the principles of design to engage the first piece, “The Great Journey”. With my second choice “A Group of Cubans who left Manzanillo are Rescued at Sea”, I will discuss how applying an alternative contextual analysis would help in understanding the meaning behind the painting more.
As you arrive into the reception area of the Cleveland Museum of Art, you are greeted with silence. The clomping of shoes and whispers of fellow museum goers about what the “true meaning” behind the piece is fills the air. The first floor of the museum is dedicated to historical artifacts and artwork dating in the time period called Before Common Era (B.C.E.). Each piece is accompanied by a placard on the wall courtesy of the museum. The pieces are approximately dated, described, and an explanation of how each piece was used is given in the short paragraph.
When I attend the Oklahoma Art Museum this morning, I was completely blown away by the different styles, technique, and artistic abilities that artist have. Art can come in many forms and can involve many different things. From paintings, sculptures, and abstract pieces of the modern world. Along with my visit, I got to experience a new collection of blown glass that was absolute remarkable. As I walked though the museum, it was as I walked though time and got to see how each period’s art changed throughout time. From the different shades of color to the different types of technique that filled the halls of the Oklahoma City Art Museum, each piece was genuine in its own way. I was starstruck as I witnessed Lowell Nesbitt’s Parrot Tulip, Richard Diebenkorn’s Albuquerque, and Dale Chihuly’s blown glass.
One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.
The way that the exhibit is presented by co-curators Diana Magaloni, the deputy director of the Program for the Art of the Ancient Americas at LACMA, and Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director, is an excellent format for the novice gallery observer. Following
In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.
The pieces in this collection show progression with the main focus being precise detail on every curl and wave, images (1-4) depict the hair acting as a mask to ones' true self. Image 5 shows one being lost in confidence, displaying the hair as lifeless and flat. Images( 6-7) embraces ones' imperfections and hair that is willing to stand out in crowd, stepping out the gender norms ( women having short and men having long hair). The hairs' form begins to takes over the mind and soul to becoming ones' personality, with oneself accepting how crazy and uncontrollable hair is; such as images 8-11. The final image shows one who acquires bravery and ability to be
What a blessing I had today to experience in my own eyes wonderful sights and scenes. Many of you already know that I 'm famous for the mystical experiences I’ve had with Jesus and God in the past. Perhaps you’ve read my book? The Book of Margery Kempe? Yes, I Margery Kemp, got the opportunity to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. There 's over thousands of beautiful artwork, one visit won 't suffice. I was captivated by everything I saw, but I was especially drawn into the magnificent gallery number 305.
A wave of nostalgia washed over me when I opened the door to the Durbin Gallery. Waxy, bright, colorful, and detailed pieces ornamented the white-walled room. I smelt the same smell I did when I was a student digging through my pencil box or when I was creating a colorful masterpiece during my free time as a child. As I walked around the gallery and saw the pieces that the artist, Herb Williams, created and displayed in his exhibit, Master Heist. I saw a can of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup, a recreation of Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night, word bubbles with text, and many more. Williams brought me back to my childhood and amazed me within a matter of seconds of entering the exhibit by using familiar objects to make familiar works of art.
Today, Wednesday, July 5, 2017 I took my first trip ever to the North Carolina Museum in Raleigh North Carolina. I found myself in shock at how much I enjoyed myself looking and analysing all the different types of art pieces that were present in the gallery. While walking around there were so many different types of artwork that I found it hard to decide on which piece to shared about this week. While walking and observing all the beauty that was being seen it amazed me about all the different way an artist could express themselves. While looking and taking in every little detail of each artwork, there was one particular piece of artwork that was very interested. It was called Doctrine by Yoan Capote.
I recently visited the Menil Collection, this is a very small humble museum. The Menil Collection is a museum that holds multiple artworks. The museum is located in a neighborhood next to a little area where people can go out and picnic and hang out with the their families for a while. I fact about the Menil Collection that surprised me was how they consider their grass art. My sister and I accidently stepped on the grass not knowing it was art and when we were handed a booklet describing a couple of their art pieces the grass was on their! The museum also has a couple of sculptures and landmarks located right outside the building. Before stepping in into the museum I observed that it was very small, and I thought there was not going to be any interesting art pieces since it was so small. The outside of the building was very simple, it was a white small building with large windows, nothing that really caught my attention. Once we were greeted by the employee we collected a couple of brochures for the background information of the artworks and we headed in. The first room of the museum really did not have any interesting art pieces, they were basic squares and circles with primary colors. I really enjoyed how the art pieces were separated depending on their movement, such as surrealism,abstract,and sculptures. There were many special exhibitions, the one that stood out the most to me was “ Hurting the word Radio”. This art piece was created by Edward Ruscha using oil on
