The museum that I decided to go and visit was the Getty Museum. The Getty Museum is one of the largest art organizations, which is located in LA. As I was visiting this museum, I came across many art pieces that stood out and caught my attention. These art pieces also attracted to me on an emotional level, which further allowed me to connect to the artist as a whole. Some of these art pieces include “Irises” by Vincent van Gogh, “Clementines” by Daniel Gordon, and “Partition 31” by Christina Feser. Besides the art that I observed, the exhibit overall was excellent. The people and the mood that I experienced while visiting made me feel a sense of belonging. Everyone around me was just as interested in the art as I was, and they were very kind and welcoming. Overall, my …show more content…
However, now that I know the techniques of art and the process behind it, it allowed for me to view the art in a whole new perspective. Once I arrived at the museum I was indemnity surrounded by art of all sorts of colors and sizes. The first art piece that stood out to me as I was wondering among the museum was a painting named “Irises”, which was painted by Gogh. This painting illustrates a plaint called Irises and its colorful nature. This painting made me feel alive and welcomed, and as I was viewing this picture I connected it to myself and everything around me. I viewed the flowers as myself, and how I 'm always growing as a person each day that passes. I viewed the roots as the people and events that surround me, as they make me who I am. Also, beyond the meaning of this image, I can see many strategies that the artist used to grasp the audience attention. Just like the many art pieces that are shown in class, I can see that the artist used bright colors to not only draw attention the Irises but to also set the overall tone in this
On Friday, October 2nd, I visited the Wittliff art collection at Texas State University. I was very excited at how much art I was going to see as I made my way to the 7th floor of the Alkek Library, which is where the Wittliff art collection is located in. Sadly, with all of the artwork that was displayed, I was having trouble deciding on which art pieces to write this critique on. However, two certain 2-D pieces caught my eye. Out of all of the displays in the art collection, I ended up choosing Keith Carter’s photograph and Kate Breakey’s painted photograph.
The whole thing is just a marvel of detail. There was much more to see and do. Lunch, for example! If you are ever in the area or are a lover of real American art, I would recommend dropping by on an
I also grasped a better understanding of what kind of person and intensions the most prominent modern Australian artist to date, had in mind when producing his world-renowned pieces
My favorite exhibit was a rumbling Pullman car. I enjoyed this exhibit because it took me back through time and made me feel as if I was on it. This museum also had many wax sculptures which helped depict railroad life in 18th and 19th century. I also liked this because it made feel
“wow!” I thought as I stood amazed trying to analyze the significance through each piece of art. Art has always been a form of expression. Although art has been seen as a way of freedom of speech; it did not begin to show up until the 1960’s when their art made by minorities started to be appreciated. MOLAA museum shows an important aspect of U.S. history.
Now that I have seen some of the exhibits and parts of the tour, my feelings are slightly more
Viewing the painting, brightens the light in the artwork. There is a sense of reality as the light seems to move through the clouds. The faces of the characters are shown by light and there is an effect of light moving by walking in front of the scene. Emotions are evoked when one looks at this scene. There is a state of protection and safety.
The beauty of the flowers against the extreme background of poverty makes the children's realize the lack of beauty and hope in their future. The children do not know whey they are angry by the flowers but the flowers represents the only hope, beauty and life amongst their life in the dust. When Lizbeth hears her father sobbing over his inability to find a job, she loses hope because her father had represented strength

The Orlando Museum of Art, also known as OMA, is a hub of Central Florida when it comes to pulling in remarkable works of art for the public eye to pay patronage to. Today I visited such a place for the annual Antiques Vintage and Garden Show, which took place between February 19th through the 21st. Included in the price of a ticket was also admission to The OMA’s current exhibitions, which included Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers and their other running exhibits, which contained an array of work, ranging from Pre-Columbian sculptures to more contemporary works of the 21st century. The specific exhibit which held my interest most was the Pre-Columbian, Mesoamerican gallery titled “A Trek from North to South”, which was organized by geographic locations in Latin America. Since my girlfriend, Illiana, bought me tickets to the show for a
“We’re the best of our kind [university and state museum] in this hemisphere. I truly believe that,” stated J.C. Dickinson, former director of the Florida Museum of Natural History. The Florida Museum of Natural History started in 1891 with research collections and donations. Now the Florida Museum of Natural History is full of community involvement events, indoor/outdoor exhibits, and opportunities to experience nature first hand. The opportunities are endless once entering the Museum.
Response paper #1 Recently I took a tour of the James E. Lewis Museum of art located in Baltimore, MD. This museum is a part of Morgan State University fine arts building.

I visited the Arkansas Art Museum on October 20, 2015. The title of the exhibit was called, “Dos Mujeres,” otherwise known in English as Two Women. This artwork was created by Diego Rivera who was from Mexico. This was a piece of art that portrays cubism and was huge; 77 ¾ x 63 ½ to be exact. The painting had one women on the left, sitting down with a book in her and and the other on the right standing up.
These images show Wordsworth’s relationship with nature because he personifies this flower allowing him to relate it and become one with nature.
