Art Museum Reflection

Part One

Online Art Museum Exploration and Reflection

At the Andy Warhol Museum, I saw a lot of collectible items and pictures of famous people. There were paintings, drawing, and sculptures. When I looked at "Washington Crossing the Delaware" by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze in 1851, I felt the artwork was telling me a story. Once I went to the bottom of the page, I was able to read what story it was telling me. From the picture, I know the men were soldiers traveling the sea. One way to commemorate famous people is by showing their beauty, flaws and facial expression at the time the photo was taken. Another way to show respect is by allowing the artwork to capture a moment in time. The artist was able to tell a story and show their emotion at the time the art was created This could be done with the colors the artist used.Some pieces of arts are met to make people aware, feel or just give some background knowledge. I felt both sites have a lot to often.

My artwork is about a period in history when the colonist and the British were at war. Known as the American and Revolution era.
