Leepa-Rattner Museum Analysis

On January 27th, 2015 I went to the Waterloo Regional Museum located in the city of Kitchener, Ontario. The museum scrutinizes the First Nations people, European settlement at the start of the 1800, the manufacturing peak of the 1900`s and the high sector boom of recent years. Many of the historical artifacts and paintings reminded me of some of the themes discussed in the Discovering the Humanities course. The story of human social development as displayed in the Waterloo Regional Museum focuses on the transition to European settlements. This gradual development can be connected to two main modules in the humanities course: the Iroquian creation story and the modern scientific advancement.

According to the Getty museum states “Lagrenée played an important part in the French movement away from the Rococo style toward a more restrained, lassicizing expression”. “Deliberately rejecting the exuberant, artificial aesthetic of the mid-1700s, he revived instead the previous century's taste for cool colors and polished, refined technique”. The context in which the culture affected Alcibiades artwork was about race, gender, and class. Another information that I found interesting is that “The male dress is rendered in angular lines that contrast with the soft curves of the female attire. The men hold weapons as their job is war, while women’s jobs are concerned with children” . According to the Khan Academy states“In 1785 visitors to the Paris Salon were transfixed by one painting, Jacques- Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii. It depicts three men, brothers, saluting toward three swords held up by their father as the women behind him grieve—no one had ever seen a painting like it”.

J.M.W Turner’s painting, Seascape with Storm Coming on (1840) utilizes warm and cool color tones along with a mysterious focal point to create a fascinating work of art. Similarly, Bjork’s “Atom Dance” uses contrasting vocal tones and oceanic imagery to express her frustration in her marriage.

For this essay, I decided to analyze the art collections of the Fowler Museum at UCLA, more specifically in the Jerome LioMel Joss Gallery. The Jermone LioMel Gallery contains the arts works of Africa, and the Pacific Islands so I will be analyzing arts from the two areas from Papua New Guinea and Nigeria. These arts pieces are the Veranda posts (opo), and the ornament for a sacred flute.

When people think about a museum most of them think about walking around starring at paintings they don’t understand and reading the little cards with their description. After a while they get tired of walking around long hallways and finally decide to leave. On the other hand, the Gallery One at the Cleveland Museum of Arts is more than just a museum, it’s a fun and innovative environment that how Alexander explained, “… the intention of Gallery One was to transform visitors into participants, rather than passive observers.” (2014). When people get their hands on the action they are most likely to have fun, learn, and build experience.

America is portrayed to be diverse, beautiful, and most importantly the land of the free. The world is full of different colors, shapes, and sizes of people with different opinions, talents, and motives. When you think of the United States of America what is the first thing that comes to mind? The first thing that comes to my mind is selfish. People who are not from America have this image of America being so wonderful and you can come to America if you want to become free. This image is painted from the wonderful movies and actresses we have in America but we do have our flaws just like any other country. On March 20, 2017, I along with my classmates had the opportunity to visit the National Center for Civil and Human Rights museum in Atlanta. Georgia. This museum focuses on stories of advocates who fought for the human rights of human beings. They did a wonderful job of making each exhibit explanatory and unforgettable. The two exhibits that caught my eyes were the segregation exhibit and the lunch counter.

Ideal for people of all ages, the museum is open to public from May through October and is open on Sunday between 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., on weekdays one can visit by prior appointment.

It is a cheerful, acrylic painting created using bold and bright colors made to contrast one another. Torres used unity and variety with a selection of lines, shapes, and colors. When you first view the painting, you will notice the directional forces that cause your eyes to view the painting in a particular order. Staring at the front center, the eyes will follow the path of lines that lead your eyes over the entire painting. When you take a closer look at the piece, you will begin to notice a repetition of certain colors and shapes. The painting is also asymmetrically balanced. In my opinion, the most important Principle of Design used for this piece is contrast. The figure of the woman in the front is significantly contrasted from the rest of the painting, and she is made to be the focal point. This piece is representational artwork. It depicts the appearance of a woman and includes subjects from the everyday world.

The Labelle Heritage Museum was founded to showcase to the world the rich history, culture and heritage of Labelle and its surrounding areas.

The New York Metropolitan Museum offers a vast variety of virtual tours which includes artistic exhibits from historic Europe. In addition to the multitude of current exhibits, the museum offers to the public for free, access to previous exhibits. The exhibit chosen for the tour, “Drawings and Prints: Selections from the Permanent Collection”, was presented from April 12 through July 18, 2016. The collection highlights not only American but also European prints, drawings, and books containing illustrations. Most of the art was available for viewing, and were displayed in the Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery, ranging from the Renaissance to the present. While some pieces were not on view during the exhibit,

The MNAC museum in Barcelona Spain is the house to National art of Cataluña. After many locations holding what you can find at the museum today, the

Acceleration: I viewed some of the art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s art history timeline. The art is from many different areas of the world and many different times, but I focused on those from the Agrarian Era so as to relate to the section of the book on that era. Looking at the art produced during this time tells us that newer, more complex ways of creating were appearing. It also hints at the increase in specialization as not everyone needed to be working for food once agriculture was introduced. The art can also tell us about the materials found in an area as well as providing a glimpse into that area’s religion and day-to-day life.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is located in New York City on the famous Museum Mile, also known as 5th avenue, and it is one of the biggest in the United States. Among the hundreds of galleries, the modernist room 901 is located in the back, left side of the building. There, the three main styles present are fauvism, cubism and surrealism. The museum labels show how the paintings are from 1910 to 1950, however, after looking more closely it becomes clear that most of them range from 1920s to 1930s. Majority of the pieces are oil on canvas, with very few exceptions. As far as the provenance, the artists are mainly from France, there are some Italians, Americans, and very few artists from other European countries. The overall theme is a tormented perception of the world, with a voluntary, and sometimes even involuntary, Freudian influence.

The painting, Bathers with Crab by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is the work that stood out the most during the visit to the Carnegie Museum of Art. In the museum this work is displayed in a large ornamental frame, which is also similar in color as the rocks in the painting. This aspect makes the rest of the painting stand out in color and also seems more vibrate then if it had a less decorative frame or no frame at all. The painter is known for his impressionist work. So how does the impressionist style of painting impact the way woman’s sexuality is viewed?

illustrate the temple, showing the uprising of statues. Literary sources recall that many works of art decorated the building, making it the real "Museum of the Temple". Concordia Temple in Oogreginto, Sicily has been restored on a large scale to what it should look like archaeologists. It is nice to see such Ramntang within the archaeological Oogreginto area, most of the piles in the bunker crashed. For many years, the Italians used large parts of the Greek building materials to build a pond and columns in the port Oogreginto, which are visible, and use them today. Hell way to handle the cultural heritage. See many of them in Rome as Christians became destroyed in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance many of the rest of Rome to build churches.
