A Rhetorical Analysis Essay On Art Museum

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The meaning of a unadorned sculpture that one passes by on a routine bases, can end up having a much more monumental and deep meaning than what an individual may have discerned. Untitled is just one example of the multiple pieces of artwork that stands tall throughout the Lewis and Clark Community College campus. A strong representation of many different feelings is given off to the buildings, its surroundings, and the students and faculty that walk among it. Each physical characteristic comes together to design the horse and can be analyzed to have meanings like recognition, nobility, and guidance.

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

I chose to critique a painting that I saw when I went to the Fine Arts Center here in Tullahoma. The Fine Arts Center host many different exhibits in a year, but the recent one is The Watercolor Society’s one hundred forty ninth Traveling Exhibit. The Tullahoma Fine Arts center used to be the house of The Baillet Sisters. Supposedly the women still walk around, and open doors. On the upstairs wall there are two paintings of each of the sisters.

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

For my cultural encounter, I attended the Des Moines Art Center. It was the first art center that I had ever been to before so I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. Going to an art center didn’t seem like the most entertaining experience for me, but I didn’t mind going to this one. When I first entered the building, I was greeted at the door and given a flyer and a map of the art Center. The first room I entered was called the “Changing exhibitions.” It was a very low lit and dark room and was very quiet. The first object I saw was what looked like a woodchip inside a glass case. The first thing I thought after seeing this was how could a small woodchip like this be displayed in a fancy art center. I continued on through the rooms, examining the many paints and drawings. Most of the paints seemed to be oil paintings of some sort. The paintings varied sizes from just little paintings to giant paintings that covered a whole wall. Unfortunately, I was unable to go to the outside part of the center due to the weather, but from what I saw out the windows it all looked very colorful. I also found it interesting that there were security people in every room that were constantly watching you so you didn’t try to touch or take any of the paintings that were being displayed. I never realized how serious some of this artwork was and how much some of the paintings were worth. While I was walking through, there was a little café where you could

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.

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

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.

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.
