Citron and Cobalt Tower was first introduced in 2004 (Art and Biology in the Citron and Cobalt Tower by Dale Chihuly, n.d). It’s twenty feet tall and around it is around 6 feet (Art and Biology in the Citron and Cobalt Tower by Dale Chihuly, n.d) It was a fairly large sculpture just to see in person. It explains why the Art Museum would choose it to be the opening piece.

As Edgar Degas once said, “ Art is not what you see, but what others make you see”. The St. Louis Art Museum is a place for artist to display their art and give spectators the option to see art from a new perspective. This was the case for me. As we walked up to the beautifully structured building that stood so tall and wide, my expectations were extremely high. At first glance I notice the bronze statue of King Louis IX of France riding high on his horse. From this statue alone, my expectations of the art museum grew stronger. I have never been to an art museum before, so I wasn’t sure of what to expect. My first expectation was to see huge detailed sculptures right as I walked through the door. That expectation didn’t come true.

Branan Towers is an independent living facility serving 186 low-income residents. Each resident lives in a one-bedroom apartment in an 11-story building located in East Atlanta. The young-at-heart residents' average age is 72 with an equal ratio of men to women, which presents unique challenges for the staff. For four weeks, seven first-semester Emory AMSN students visited Branan Towers every Friday promoting health education. The residents were given blood pressure screenings, medication compliance checks, health assessments, and Health Hoopla.

Art history professor Wendy Koenig specializes in East Asian art and was part of the team that analyzed and researched the artifacts. She said, “The collection could be vulnerable against the natural lighting coming in from the windows, given the way they’re set up in that boardroom. And we don’t know the insurance value of these artifacts either due to the high cost of getting them appraised.”

The sculpture is made out of bin bags and … it is a very creative way to make ripped bin bags look like fire. Seeing a burning man can make people feel

Mayor Dinkins invited me to his office and there I revealed my initiative of renaming a street in my Dad's memory. The mayor was in my corner 100% and after going through the necessary channels to implement this, September 18, 1993, the city added the designation “The Matthew S Turner Triangle” at 122nd Street at Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. The unveiling of the street was a historic moment for our family. In May 2002, I established a foundation in his memory, The Matthew S. Turner Foundation.

The piece of architecture I chose to write about is the Golden Driller: Titanic Oil Man. I have visited this statue once and it is pretty amazing. At one time, Tulsa, Oklahoma sat atop the world's largest-known ocean of oil. Tulsa was known for having the best and richest oil. Drilling derricks were everywhere, even on the lawn of the state capital. The city called itself “Oil Capital of the World” (Roadside America). However, today Tulsa is no so popular for oil.

The Arch gave St. Louis a name. The building of the arch wowed the world and gave stl a name. Stl became unique and not like any other city anymore. “ A person approaching it by car or plane cannot help but marvel at its size and elegance.” Because of the Arch’s massive size

Examining the Saint Louis art Museum gave me a new prospective on art and what it does for our society. The art museum is obviously filled with art, but it’s how they present the art that strikes me. From the statue of King Louis IX of France to the building itself shows that there is a lot of history in and around the museum. The museum is one of the principals of art museums in the country, with paintings, sculptures, and cultural objects from all over the world. The building is three-story tall and is located in Forest park. It’s free to attend the museum because the city pass a bill with subsidy from the culture tax from Saint Louis and city district. So, the museum was trying to achieve a since of culture coming from Saint Louis region

At the Kansas Museum of History, they had a giant train on display. My favorite thing in the museum was where it talked about the Air Capital which is in Wichita KS. They had a lot of old planes that looked pretty neat.

I have this thing for windows. I love windows. Windows all alone, windows together, windows with good views, windows with bad views. I especially like the old, square, wood framed windows from the colonial times. On top of that I love the history of how America was formed and hardened in the American Revolution. So you can imagine that when I found out that I was going to Philadelphia, home of the Liberty Bell, the courthouse where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and countless bits and pieces of history, I was pretty excited.

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars,” said Les Brown. Throughout the dream unit we have seen lots of videos of people who have achieved their dreams. But also of some people who didn’t achieve their dreams after they worked for it. But they ended up in the stars and were happy with what they did achieve. But just because some people don’t always achieve their dream doesn’t mean everyone can’t there’s a chance to achieve the dreams. But if we don’t we can still end up with part of the dreams or still achieve something.

We live in a world where there is lots of judging and I believe people may not even give some art pieces a chance. In the 1940s, Christian Petersen sculpted a plaster figure of George Washington Carver. According to an article from Iowa State Museums, “This is one of the few free-standing, full length sculptures that Petersen ever made” (George Washington Carver). He sculpted Carver as an old man holding a single peanut in his hands. Petersen’s intentions were to emphasize Carver's vision for the future of agriculture (George Washington Carver). George Washington Carver was the first African American to attend Iowa State, and I personally didn’t know this until I saw the sculpture located near Carver Hall. Art has its meanings, even if sometimes you aren’t looking for them. A quote from George Washington Carver shows how much he cared for this blessed university, “I have no words to adequately express my impressions of dear old I.S.C. (Iowa State College). All I am and all I hope to be, I owe in a very large measure to this blessed institution” (Mark Bagley). When this sculpture was first created Petersen wasn’t able to cast this sculpture in bronze because the cost was too much money, so he painted the work of art to resemble bronze. The sculpture was originally put inside Carver Hall on the first floor lobby (George Washington Carver). If this was put outside it would have just got ruined by the weather, since the snow and cold could

It was the furthest we had ever traveled to go somewhere. The first 7 hours felt like forever since it was all just highway and nothing to see but trees until we passed by Richmond Virginia which was a city we had never seen. It looked very historical just by passing through it on I-95. We later continued on and stumbled upon Washington D.C, Baltimore, and later on to Philadelphia. After about 13 hours we started getting very close to our destination. My family and I were very anxious to finally get to our hotel. It was about 11 pm when started seeing massive skyscrapers lit up by their inner lights. To my amazement, it was my first time seeing New York City.

Entering the Paula and Leonard Granoff Gallery at the RISD museum every work of art is like a hidden gem waiting to be found. A small sculpture in the corner of the gallery is one of those hidden gems made by the artist brothers of Nikolai and Simon Haas. The Haas brothers created the sculpture, Big Baby Accretion with Navajo Striations, in 2016. The creation is 12.25 inches tall including the thin spout at the top. It is meant to represent natural formations created in nature. For example, the uppermost part of the sculpture has a texture resembling coral and the bottom texture resembling tree fungi. Even though the two textures are different, they still form a cohesive piece giving the viewer an overall feeling of balance. Overall the sculpture is a piece with many details having great impact on the viewer.
