I am going to introduce an artwork A Wooded Landscape in Three Panels created in 1905, by Louis Comfort Tiffany. When I entered the showroom, I was immediately fascinated by its huge dimension, 86.5 inches in height and 131.56 inches in width. The medium of this artwork are glass, copper-foil and lead. This is a stained glass window of a forest scene. A beautiful landscape with a lot of big green trees in front of the picture, many bright colorful wild flowers in the right corner, and a small pond behind the trees, etc. The small pieces of colored glass are arranged to form patterns and the whole pictures. They held together by strips of lead and supported by a rigid frame. Working with glass allowed the artist to achieve varied and interesting effects. When the light shines through this window, the viewers are able to see many different colors of the picture, and the artwork looks so lively. It is an amazing glass window I have ever seen before.
Tiffany uses “confetti glass” to recreate the earthy, layered texture of a forest floor, the thickness and color of

A lot of big trees, maybe oak trees, represent the growth of dense forest. Or the blooming flowers and the green of leaves depict the time of the year. I guess it would be in spring. From A wooded Landscape in Three Panels, I have known a master of stained glass, Louis Comfort Tiffany. I am really interested in his art style. He is really creative and talented. All of his art collections are remarkable. I wish I had an opportunity to buy one of his work and use it to decorate my house in the future. This is the first time I went to a museum of art. Thanks to this museum visit, I had a wonderful time to enjoy a hundreds of amazing artworks from long time ago up to the present. It helps me gain more knowledge of human civilization, many interesting cultures from different countries as well as enhance my knowledge of
Upon entering the museum I was bombarded by this 12 x 45 ft. architectural painting. Almost resembling the museum building itself. With sharp horizontal and verticals lines, this multi colored piece reminded me of our last piece from project 8. Using a variety of colors with no obvious correlation, the clash of colors instantly made me reflect on how I could improve future and previous projects alike. The amount of straight lines in different lengths and widths, also reminded me of our piece from project 1. With no curves and lines going every which way, its amazing how a piece made entirely of lines with no figures could be so captivating.
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.
“This world is but a canvas to our imagination”; which always has been throughout the years. Art has been separated in different categories such as architectures, sculptures, photography and paintings. For my semester project, which was to visit an art or historic museum; my classmates and I went to the Reynolda House Museum of American art which provided us both the art and history. At first, we all assume that the visit would be boring or the art gallery would be dull. What shocked us the most was the actual experience being in the museum instead of just talking about it. We experienced multiple feelings during our visit in the art gallery as well as the historic area. From the art gallery which held many paintings of artist, to the house that R.J Reynolds and his family once occupied. Furthermore, it also showed us the legacy of R.J Reynolds and his family has left behind for the people of Winston-Salem.
It helps keep the room gay, happy, and energetic. The powerful colors and deconstructed design help modernize the rug. I have applied these colors in a few other areas within the room, which include the classic, yet modern Eames Molded Plastic Chairs and on the window seat. The color blue has been highlighted because of Elsie’s frequent, positive mention of the color in her book. The rest of the room is mostly gold, natural woods or
It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but
In the front of the monument, I’m going to set the statue of Thomas Clarkson, who is the leading British abolitionist that greatly contributed to the succeed of the abolitionist movement. The building will be established next to the sea with bulks of the transparent glass so as to provide better view for visitors to browse and visit. One of the most important part for the exhibition is to restore the true scene as much as possible. I will try to display the true living condition of the slaves on the ship during the transportation to the New World with the help of the visual tools, like model, documentary, etc. I
Louis Comfort Tiffany, an American artist, and designer, was born in New York City in 1843. Tiffany, the son of Charles, who was the founder of the jewelry firm “Tiffany and Co.,” began his career as a painter and then expanded to design and direct his studios in order to “produce lead-glass windows, mosaics, lighting, glass, pottery, metalwork, enamels, glass, pottery, jewelry, and interiors” (“Louis Comfort Tiffany Stained Glass Art”; Frelinghuysen and Obniski). Beginning in the late 1870’s the decorative arts and interiors caught Tiffany’s eyes and he began exploring and trialing with stained glass (Frelinghuysen and Obniski). As years passed he introduced blown-glass vases and bowls called “Favrile.” The
After the window was finished, Sr. Kelly complimented us on our accomplishment and appraised the window’s value to be $600, which astounded me. However, I think the value of this window extends far beyond its monetary value. I love that stained glass art is permanent and that the window belongs to the school because it represents the lasting impact I made at SHA. When the light shines directly through the window, it becomes alive and the names of everyone in my class glitter in gold letters at the bottom of the window. This window will become one of many in a virtues collection over the years and my name will forever be etched on the first window, which offers a subtle reminder for SHA girls to think of their sisters that came before and paved the way for new opportunities like stained glass. In addition, I am glad that this window in particular will remain at the school because I don't think I could part with my other windows in which I actually had control over the color scheme and glass selection. Although, the window did not depict exactly what I wanted, it clearly showed the virtues of love and charity, which unite us

For my enrichment report, I decided to take a trip to the Los Angeles County Museum. However, I was trapped with the challenging choice of choosing only one museum for my cultural visit. Since, there are so many prodigious and amazing museums to choose from to visit in the county. But, I have heard many great feedbacks about the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from fellow classes mates, friends and family. So, I finally, had my destination set to and planned a visit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Upon my visit my attention was already fixated on the unique building layout and the many arts exhibited located all around the outside of the museum building. There were several building that housed the many different art exhibits. Such as the first building I walked into, after purchasing a ticket. This building was called the “Ahmanson” building, which housed voluminous and diverse art of the European, Islamic, South and Southeast Asian Art, Art of the Ancient World, Art of the Pacific and Others. There were also many special exhibitions that was hosted at the time of my visit, such as the modern art gallery and Rifkin Gallery for German Expressionism. One of the sculpture centered in the middle of the building of the “Ahmanson” building called “Smoke” really caught my attention. As it quite an enigmatic and stunning metal sculpture that mesmerizes illusions based on your interpretation and perspective of the piece.
The second exhibit came from Mount Washington Glass Works, American, New Bedford, MA from 1837 to 1953 the Royal Flemish Line, Circa 1885. The Gilded and enameled blown glass, lavishly design glass with various sometimes seen with gilding. The glass without color
The exhibition that I viewed at the San Antonio Art Museum was called “28 Chinese”. This exhibit was based on the artwork of 28 contemporary Chinese artists. Throughout the exhibit, it was discussing the fall of communism, poverty, the essence of time, resistance, rebellion and the conservation of history. Some of the artwork I saw were created by Zhu Jinshi, Qiu Zhijie, Zhang Huan, and Shang Yixin, just to name a few. The exhibit was on two floors of the museum. When I first entered the exhibit, it led me to a big white room with art being displayed on all walls. The first room was based on the Coca Cola project in which there was a tall case of Coca Cola bottles being displayed right when you walk in. To the right was a clear box that held burnt down Coca Cola bottles. These items being displayed made me want to read about the project since it was a familiar company that most people know. Some of the other rooms were structured differently. Some had sculptures, audio visuals, interactive pieces and others had modified furniture but every piece of art had a description next to it which told who the artist was as well as the meaning of the art itself. The materials used for some of the art works included wood, bamboo, and rice paper. The second floor to the exhibit is mostly abstract art work. The overall theme of this was to express their preservation of Chinese culture being good and bad aspects through art.
In the fall, people watching is something that is not often done. People watching is a past time that can be used for inspiration, a way to kill time in between classes, or it is considered a waste of time by some people. I find it interesting. In south Louisiana at Nicholls State University in the quad, people watching or embracing your surroundings in general can almost be considered an art piece, because the scene before someone is a perfect fall picture that is set in real time, and it contains live focal points.
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.
For the photograph that I took, I decided to follow Weston’s theme and photograph an organic object with interesting features. I needed to find something with a vivid texture so that the photograph could allow the viewer to almost feel what I could. I searched throughout my room until finally, I found what I was looking for. It was a shell from the Pacific Ocean that I had brought back with me from Mexico. The shell had off-whites blended into browns and reds. It also had ridges running from the origin of the shell, to the outside. I found the situation to be somewhat ironic considering that Weston had lived in Mexico taking photographs, and also took pictures of shells.
