Getty Museum Report

Perhaps illness so influenced the artistic style of Van Gogh, but the picture turned out completely different to all that the artist wrote so far. This is not a Van Gogh, who was known. In the canvas, there is tension, anxiety, dense colors and warm shades of olive-mustard. On the contrary, here there is some kind of lightness, airiness, and transparent weightlessness. On the manner of execution, the pattern resembles Japanese prints: iris field full of peace, a lightness, and transparency. "Irises" are simple and unique, they are striking in their serenity and the ability to remove the internal stress of everyone who saw at least reproduction. Painting simply breathes watercolor, translucency and make to look at it more than one hour.

The museum that I decided to visit was the California African American museum, located in the Exposition park by the Coliseum and USC school. I knew that by visiting this museum, I would learn more about African American culture and lifestyle, which I thought it would be interesting to learn about another culture. What, I expected to see there was African American’s art creation, music, maybe see a few things about their old lifestyle, and the difficulty they once had to face. To be honest, I don't really know much about African Americans history nor culture, besides the way they were treated it due to racism. And how Martin Luther king Jr fought for their civil rights, by doing anti-segregation protests and delivers his famous speech I Have

A museum is the best place to find historical, artistic and scientific objects exhibited for the public. Washington DC offers to his public a lot of museum especially the African American museum. It is particular first because of the attraction from distance of his unique beautiful design and huge size of the building. Also, it was recently opened and it is located in the National Mall and close to different monuments. It includes several exhibitions and the dress of ROSA PARK sewn by her captivated my attention.

Brownsville is one of the areas with the richest history in the Rio Grande Valley. Museums, parks, and many buildings are preserved as a symbol of very important historical events that took place in our beautiful city. Thus, for this reason I decided to visit the Brownsville Historic Museum. When I entered the place, I was greeted by a very nice lady that gave me a tour through the museum. The first exhibit was full of pictures and photographs of Jim Wells, Porfirio Diaz, Simon Celaya, and Charles Stillman among other well-known individuals. This area included a beautiful wooden bed, mirrors, and old objects with descriptions. Honestly, I was deeply moved while walking through this place because it felt as if I was living during that era of time. Through the exhibits I also found pictures of the Mexican Revolution. Recently, in class we covered a chapter that included this

Located in the Quad, standing tall is a building that represents critical and memorable moments in history. The University of Alabama is home to the beautiful Amelia Gorgas Library. This is where students can go study, relax, eat, check out books, and socialize. The library was built in 1939 and is located at the site of the first original library on campus. During the Civil War the original building was known as the Rotunda. It was a military school for the confederate army. In 1865 Rotunda was burned down by troops sent to destroy the educational buildings on campus. In its place Gorgas library was built. As you stand on the concrete steps looking down at the semi-circle court in front of Gorgas, there are remains from the original building. Architects purposely made these designs to show tribute to

This was my first time at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art. I was very impress of the museum because I never thought it was a big museum, and I assume that they had a few collections of paintings. However, I was amazed on how many painting they did had and the variety. Out of all of the painting and sculptures, I selected three paintings: The Spirit of the Storm, Peaceable Kingdom of the Branch, and Lion in the Arena. These paintings impress me the most because of how they made me feel.

Upon, my visit to the Brooklyn Museum on Wednesday October 12, 2016 I chose African Innovations instead of The European Art Exhibit. The country that my artifact originated from is Africa, the country is Nigeria. Nigeria is in West Africa, along the eastern coast of the Gulf of Guinea, and just north of the equator. The borders of modern Nigeria were not created until the British united their colonial power over the area in 1914.

In the National American Museum there are a lot of things that you can explore and discover. The museum has exhibitions that educates the visitors on the continued Native presence in the region. It also has one of the most extensive collections of Native American artifacts in the world. In terms of the collections growth, the museum continues to focus mainly on modern and contemporary arts. The museum has education programs for people to go to, and learn about their teaching methods. You can learn about the curriculum for the classroom, teacher workshops, and educational strategies.

Washington, D. C. is not only one of the most popular tourists destinations in the United States, but because it is the capital of the United States, there is an enormous amount of history associated with the city. In fact, you could never see all of the great sites in one visit, but if you only visit this city once, there are three sites that you must see on your trip. The following is a brief description of these sites.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world's largest and finest art museums. The main Neoclassical architectural style building is located on the eastern edge of Central Park in New York City, New York. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986. It was founded in 1870 with a mission to collect, preserve, and display works of art. In 1866 a group of Americans gathered at a restaurant to celebrate the Fourth of July. After dinner, John Jay, a prominent lawyer gave a speech proposing that he and his compatriots decided to create a “national institution and gallery of art.” In the next four years, they convinced American civic leaders, art collectors, and philanthropists to support the project, and finally in 1870 the Metropolitan Museum of Art was incorporated. During the 1870s the museum was housed in two different locations in New York City, first in a building at 681 Fifth Avenue and later at 128 West 14th Street. In 1880 the museum moved to its present location in Central Park on Fifth Avenue between 80th and 84th Streets. The museum moved to this land to make a permanent home for the collections. This original Gothic Revival-style brick building, designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mold, was opened to

A similar issue of authorship occurred recently at the Seattle Art Museum in 2014. Trevor Fairbrother, curator of the museum, commissioned a wall drawing from LeWitt in 1997. Lewitt was given a variety of locations within the museum, but chose “the most idiosyncratic, complicated, and visible: the snaky, S-curved, 11-by-56-foot wall above the coat check in the lobby” (Graves). Here, LeWitt conceived Wall Drawing #881, Seven Cubes with Color Ink Washes Superimposed. Like VMFA’s Wall Drawing #541, the Seattle Art Museum had undergone renovations, resulting in the destruction of Wall Drawing #881 in 2007. Lewitt designed the work specifically for the wall where it originally appeared. But the wall was destroyed, and there is no other wall like

Visiting the Museum of Jewish Heritage was quite an experience. The museum focused on Jewish culture before the Holocaust, the war against the Jew during the Holocaust and the Jewish renewal after the holocaust. Visiting the museum was definitely a big eye opener it helped me to realize that I did not know much about Jewish History as I thought I did.

In exploring the American Alliance of Museum’s (AAM) JobHQ site, I came upon a posting for a Curator of Historical Collections at the Maine State Museum. This is one position I could really enjoy, as they are looking for someone who has the ability to do the “‘telling’ of personal and community histories through objects (AAMJobHQ, n.d.); something I adore doing. It seems as though every aspect of this position involves many of the areas I enjoy. And, in looking over the requirements, I find I already possess many of the skills and qualifications for this job due to my experience as the curator of our city’s museum for the past ten years. I am lacking in a few areas, however, I can implement a plan to gain the necessary

When I was deciding on what museum I was planning on going to, my thought was to visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art. However when I realized that it was going to be a full day trip because of the length of travel to go back and forth, I decided to look for a museum that was closer to home. After reading the assignment, I realized that the Reading Public Museum was on the list you suggested. After searching the Internet, I found the site for the Reading Public Museum of Art and decided that this might be the best choice because of location. I never heard about this museum before even though my family travels to Reading frequently. My family needed to travel to Reading for some shopping so we decided to make a day of it and visit the museum

This was actually my first visit to this museum since I have gone to Kennesaw. My expectations were pretty high initially upon going, because I have heard so many things about it from my peers. Just by their opinions, and my love for art I have myself, I was actually excited about going in to take a look. I must say, I was not disappointed by any of the art work I saw in there. I really enjoyed the exhibit of work from some students from a high school around this area. It really shows that the college really supports the youth of the future and their passion for art as a whole.
