Bartle Hall Sky Stations Analysis

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.

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.

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

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

A bronze sculpture consisting of just six rectangular shapes and a semi-rectangular base, this piece is very simple, and its minimalistic structure is similar to that of Malevich’s Supremacist Composition: Airplane Flying. From a certain angle, the sculpture resembles a figure stumbling and falling over the base, depicting some sort of motion. In this sense, it is similar to Boccioni’s Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, which sought to use air currents to symbolize a moving figure. The simplistic yet abstract nature of Shapiro’s work makes it feel right as home in the Modernist Revolution, despite the fact that Shapiro’s sculpture was made in 1991, more than 70 years after the Modernist Revolution occurred. In addition, Untitled is unlike any other “figure” sculpture we have studied thus far. Just about every major sculpture we have covered resembles some form of a human-like body, whether they be an actual human or a divine figure. Even Unique Forms of Continuity in Space possesses what appear to be legs, a head and a torso. The odd and minimalistic composition of Untitled means that is possesses no definite form resembling a human and could very well be meant to resemble something completely unrelated to human, quite possibly an inanimate object or even something that was not meant to be resembled. It is the only work of its kind present at the sculpture garden, and as such, it carries far more mystery than any other work

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.

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.

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.”

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 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

“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.

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.

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.
