“The life of man in every part has need of harmony and rhythm” - Plato
Adapted from the Everyday Magic Exhibit at GoMA, the concept for my mini exhibit is Tranquil Rhythms. The title clearly represents striking elements of the exhibit that bring all the pieces together. There will be 5 collections shown in the exhibit, they are; Untitled (from webs from my garden series) by Sandra Selig, Citizens Band by Angelica Mesiti, Untitled Cascade by Rebecca Baumann, Assorted Spices for Dinner and Daydreams by Mieko Shiomi and Silver Screen by Callum Morton. The artists all come together around three central ideas that being tranquillity, rhythm and play. These central ideas will be furthermore explored. Tranquillity is the quality or state of being calm/serene. It is a key part of the exhibition reflecting how the works combine in creating a peaceful, calm environment. This is done through different elements, including music, calming movements or from observation of an art piece. Citizens Band is filmed media portraying tranquillity through audio as well as visual means. Each of the four performers produces music that isn’t particularly hard hitting but instead calm, adding to the peaceful environment of the exhibition. The four musicians perform traditional music that may not be as familiar to the audience. This entrances the viewer through captivating and engaging music. Selig’s series represents serenity through its harmonious red lines flowing and
The most successful piece in the exhibit is the painting called "Scattered Hopes with Dreams I" by Kevin Cole. It was a painting of neckties being intertwined with his creative art work. The art was in vibrant colors with neckties going in different directions causing a beautiful detailed symbolic art piece. The name of the exhibit was called "If colors could speak. “In this Exhibit it has a collage of three paintings. The name of the three paintings were "Scattered Hopes with Dreams," "Dancing with Boogaloo Beats III," and "Scattered Hopes with Dreams II” by Kevin Cole. The theme was “The Color of Music.” The paintings are neckties intertwined with each other almost similar to dancing with each other.
In this museum, we will be showing you artwork throughout history that all shares a similar theme in all of them. All of the art pieces in this museum all involve nature and seascapes, many artists throughout history have drawn nature and the ocean that is around them or beautiful place that they made up, but many of these beautiful landscapes were made with no specific theme in mind except beauty, many of these painting are supposed to depict beauty in the eye of the beholder, but many of these painting may still seem dark and gloomy.
The exhibit is located at Texas State University, San Marcos and I visited on December 1st. The titles of the work I chose was The Photographer, Getting Even, Carousel Bartender, Chandelier and Alex’s Music Room. The year this work was published was in 2003. The art shown is photographs in black and white and is hand tinted with color oils. The subject of this art is to showcase events in everyday life. By expressing it emotional and creativity by capturing the things many people wouldn't think that are a realty Paint of the artwork is really has a lot of going on outside of the main attraction. In Alex’s music’s room the first thing that captures your eyes is all the red in the painting and the violins, harper and the cymbal on the floor. When you look closer into the painting you can see crazy details. Like the lions laying around in the music room and the candles in the pieced looks as if it's a person not really a candle. The decoration on the chandelier looks like there is really gems hanging in the art. In the art piece Getting Even its isn’t as detailed but it makes you wonder how did Schenck catch this moment on his camera. The painting its taking place in some field of flowers. It’s late at night and it looks like a man is about to kill another person but the other human being is just standing there. I guess the person is getting even by homicide since that’s the name of the painting. The painting doesn’t really focus on the people in it. It focusses more on the scenery because its more emphasized in the painting. The people are more a shadow and in the background I would say. My favorite painting out of the five would have to the be the Carousel Bartender you can see it in my expression. When I was looking at the art this was the first painting that caught my attention. The lights caught my attention since its almost
Elvis Presley once said, “Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine”. There are many examples of ambitious people in the world today because of the hard work and dedication that we see in people to try to achieve their goals. Today ambition is a big thing in our world because most people have the drive and determination to reach what they want in life. Ambition has the strongest influence on human behavior driving people to work hard for what they want whether they are doing it in a good or bad way.
The title of this show is Elissa Wenthe Art Exhibit. At first glance, I thought that I had stepped into a Dr. Seuss book. The tree figures in the middle were quite whimsical and free. The textures on the trees were very fluffy and light. The tiles on the wall were the exact opposite. They reminded me of an industrial park. They were metallic, hard, and formidable looking. At first, I thought the artist had just glued a bunch of trash to a board and spray painted it silver. The fact that it was actually clay was impressive because of the many different shapes and structures she included in the pieces. The blue photographs on the wall were simple compared to the other pieces. They were delicate and I enjoyed the different perspectives of the
A major theme that can be seen through Mutu’s collection of works is femininity and an emphasis on a strong female narrative. Mutu uses her artwork to show her journey as a women artist. She toys with the Western culture’s idea of the ideal female by distorting her female characters through her collages combining fantasy and mystical characteristics. By using common day items from cutout magazines and reinventing their purposes through her collages, demonstrates how different cultures, although each having its own individuality can combine. Mutu dismembers the normal female body and reconfigures it to express her idea or theme she’s tackling. Inside the exhibit, I found Humming hung on a large divider next to Mutu’s Suspended Playtime, balls made from garbage bags hung from the ceiling. Humming, easily able to be overlooked due to its distracting neighbor, luckily caught my attention. Each female figure is created through hundreds of intricate details and different pieces signifying how women are constantly exposed to different ideals that continue to change, as well as putting emphasis on the individuality of each female. The female figure stands on the right-hand portion of the painting,
To sum up, overall music enhances my mental health in terms of emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It is rewarding and enjoyable at the same time. Furthermore, music helps me in community development and emphasises empowering ways of working in school’s assignment. The playlist that I created has successfully enhanced my mood. I figured out that the elements in music can result in so many ways. One of the result is that it reduces anxiety and helps maintaining calmness. Another result is that it helps me to relax and stay motivated in life especially during bad days. Additionally, it can boost one self esteem and achieved desired state of mood. Thus, this playlist can be recommended to other people as it bring benefits in terms
Through the erudite interpretations of the quartet, we are able to experience a different culture and apprehend its sounds. It’s almost as if we were physically visiting another world. Once there, we can’t escape the dazzle caused by exotic scents and the sight of stunning landscapes. Atmosphéres will reward those who don’t give up at the first

In the 21st century landscape, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, are among a plethora of media outlets vying for our attention. We constantly check our email, text messages, and “likes.” In an age of instant gratification and over saturated social media scene, Adam Magyar managed to capture the beautiful stillness in some of the busiest areas of the world, where people are also the most isolated, wrapped up their phones, in their thoughts and themselves. His art is meant to be experienced not just viewed, and is relatable to anyone who has been lonely in a crowded room while simultaneously feeling trapped in a cage.
Music is one of the greatest human creations (DeNora, 2000). It plays an integral role in human society worldwide irrelevant of race, gender, age, wealth or well-being (Kemper & Danhauer, 2005). Indeed according to Batt-Rawden (2010), playing different music in diverse situations can introduce listeners to the desired and relevant atmosphere. In most circumstances, music is played to entertain people, but it can also form part of an accompaniment in sad situations. Music is often the fulcrum that influences the listener by creating a unique ambience and atmosphere (Bernatzky, Presh, Anderson, & Panksepp, 2011). Chamorro-Premuzic and Furnham, (2007) adds that music can be a medium to enhance communication,
Artwork is one of the main ways to express the culture of a region or a country. Therefore, art has played a very important role throughout history. When talking about art, the first thing that comes to most people’s mind is probably that art is a painting or it is a sculpture. However, art has many forms of expression, and it closely connects to human’s daily life. Besides paintings and sculptures, art is everywhere around us. I am always interested in how people have linked art with daily life throughout history. For this reason, the two pieces of artwork I chose from my visit to the Museum of Fine Arts are both objects that can be used in everyday life: one is the mixing bowl and the other a incense burner. Though they are from different cultures, have different making processes, and have different purpose in usage, they both are good examples to show how artists tried to apply art using different techniques to human’s daily life.
Performance Art transforms art from something a person views, in to something one can be a part of. One part of Performance Art is Body Art, where the artist uses the body to convey the message of their work. Marina Abramovic is a Performance artist who makes Body Art where she pushes herself to the limits, testing her endurance. Abramovic’s prolific creations, including Rhythm 0 and The Artist is Present force people out of their comfort zones and to think critically about the world around them. By analyzing Rhythm 0 and The Artist is Present it becomes clear that Abramovic can make a big statement with her work.
