Bowers Museum Analysis

The first art that interested me was the art of Indonesia which in this exhibit depicted the

story is that according to a Chinese myth there were two brothers and one was very

The first piece of art work that I saw was the work of Frederick William MacMonnies (1863-1937) I felt it captured my attention as I first walked into the room. The unique sculpture “DIANA” really impressed me by depicting a Roman Goddess poised with her bow raised high and ready for the hunt. It was also interesting because the women of that time period were not known as hunters, they were known for being mothers and wives. The piece of art work was medium in sitting on top of a pedestal as you walked into the main exhibit room. There was lots of background information on the poster written below this artwork. It told a story of how MacMonnies and his contemporaries got their inspiration in ancient Greek and Roman culture, and it also took some of the Italian Renaissance into account when making the piece.

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an extraordinary New York site. For me, the Egyptian exhibit is especially meaningful because it engenders personal pride in the contributions of my ancestors and challenges me to use my talents to impact society in a positive

The Beaker with Ibex Motifs is a prehistoric pottery art work, found in near-perfect condition during a 1906-1908 excavation of a Susian necropolis in Susa, Iran. The Beaker with Ibex Motifs is a large vessel with dimensions at 28.90 x 16.40 cm. Used by the first inhabitants of Susa, this beaker is a the first example of a funerary item. The identity of artist is unknown, however, it is thought the beaker was created sometime between 4200 and 3500 B.C.E.

The museum had many more items of interest, including a writing room with oil lamps from 1000 B.C. to the first electric lamp of 1879. A fashion room held clothing trends from 1910 to the 1970’s. A room was also preserved to provide spectators a look at an original classroom. The two hour visit to Peteetneet Museum was both enjoyable and educational, the guide bursting with stories and information. It was impossible to leave without a love and appreciation for those that have settled this great

This paper will employ close visual analysis of the The Vase that was created by skilled craftsmen [Tang dynasty (618–907)] describing how it’s minimalist design represents that it was a time when they focused on non-controversial themes when painting.

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 exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East. This exhibit was an important part of the history of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because for the first time, Italian, Spanish, and Northern European paintings from the John G. Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea of what the paintings were like in these four centuries and reflected ideas of both the east and the west.

During the first week of September, I made a trip with a friend to the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. Every first Sunday of the month, admission into the museum is free. It is my first time to visit there and I was most impressed with the huge number of Buddhas on display. Most of the pieces are in excellent condition. It is amazing 600-year-old pottery and all these stone statues of Buddha that looks like it was made yesterday. What really brings this place to life for me are the brilliant combination of social mixers and live performance events mixed with cultural education.

These are the items that the Shangri-La Personnel chose for the exhibit on Thursday, October 8, 2015.

This trip is invaluable, it is unexchangeable and necessary for any serious aspiring artist. It explicates a worldwide perspective of the competition. It is not just the fibre of the country that encourages me to go, but that within this specific tour there are many experiences pertinent to my current designs. Within jewelry design paper cutting is similar to piercing and can be use in embossing metal, and calligraphy is used in engraving and etchings. The Terracotta Warriors will expose my jewelry design to ancient metal clasps from soldier’s armor, and the Longmen Grottos have statues with jewelry reliefs from 1500 years ago. I shall apply this trip to applying the high levels of Chinese craftsmanship to my own fabricated

Base on my experience from the museum, China art dominated over Japan and Korea. 80% of the Asian art were Chinese art. Early chines culture thought that the spirit world influenced the lives of the living. Therefore it was common to find sacrifices of food and wine. They used bronze vessel for many ritual purposes. One example, Ritual food Vessel (Ding), it was a bronze tripod vessels made to hold and heat food such as meat during ritual ceremonies. These food vessels came in many different shape and sizes. But all fit the similar purpose. Many beautiful Buddha head and figure were spread around the museum to state their believe in Buddhism. The museum also offer many different figures of male, female, horse, lion, and many more. Chinese use

A comprehensive vision of combing arts from multiple sources to create an architectural totality goes hand-in-hand with the socialist utopia, and this vision is kept unchanged in today’s China: the Great Hall of the People continues to carry the same functions as those in the 60s and 70s, stunning the viewers from abroad, in Beijing, and through televisions. The political structure of China remains unchanged, but the chief governing program shifted from class struggle (jieji douzheng 阶级斗争) to economic construction (jingji jianshe 经济建设). The economic boom enhances materialism and individualism, and endangers the spiritual realm of China. Then, someone vows to rescue the spiritual and aesthetic declines by sponsoring a museum in Southern China.
