Let Me Introduce One Of The Most Simple, Yet Profitable

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but maybe they are worth far more than that. Pictures, although seemingly simple in nature, are extremely complex. Far too often, people overlook what a picture truly is. When a person looks at an image, they most likely see only the image, nothing else. Many people do not look deep enough into an image to fully comprehend the true meaning of it. However, when an individual begins to truly study an image in an attempt to understand the true complexity of it, they will be surprised at what they overlooked before. As stated by French Realist Painter, Gustave Courbet, “Fine art is knowledge made visible.”

When I examine the iconic painting “Gold Marilyn Monroe”, I viewed dazzling art elements that consist of lines, shapes, texture, values, and color. Firstly, the lines within the painting posses thickly curved, curled, diagonal, and straight lines. The curled lines are prominent on the hair of Marilyn. Additionally, the thickly curved lines the bring out the facial features can be viewed on Marilyn’s hair, eyebrows, eyes, forehead, and lips. Moreover, the diagonal line can be seen on the sides of Marilyn’s jawline. Also, the straight lines are noticed on the left side of Marilyn’s neck, her lower chin and the framing that encapsulates Monroe’s face. Secondly, the shapes of the painting are organic because Marilyn’s face is natural and symmetrical

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.

The compelling shape and size of the unique Lim L table lamp certainly seem reminiscent of a fine art piece, possibly using emotional persuasion. It is likely that this lamp makes up for its hidden technological reasoning with its “emotional” draw. Like with Buchanan’s example of the unusually curved wrench, spectators may take a liking to the Lim L lamp’s uncommonly sleek look, regardless of whether they know the exact purpose of the piece. On the other hand, the Sanrio Hello Kitty table lamp is so kitsch-based and so reliant on its commercial appeal, it is difficult to classify it as something on the same level as fine art. That is not to say, however, that there is no emotional component to the piece, especially because this lamp is intended for a younger audience. As stated before, the table lamp is very inviting and encourages play, even if a child were to be unaware of the ever-popular Hello Kitty character. In this way, the lamp also serves as a piece that, as Buchanan stated, is “transformed into [an object] for pure contemplation, valuable in [itself] rather than as the means to some other

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.

With works in every known medium, from every part of the world, throughout all points in history, exploring the vast collection of the Museum of Modern Art was an overwhelming experience. The objects in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts are an important historical collection, reflecting the development of a number of art forms in Western Europe. The department's holdings covered sculpture in many sizes, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, jewelry, and tapestries. The gallery attracted my appreciation of the realistic qualities of the human body often portrayed in sculpture.

All these pieces have different designs in them. His use of color has to be significant so one piece does not overshadow the other pieces. Chuck Close is from Monroe, Washington. He lived there until he went to college at the University of Washington. After college at the University of Washington he went to Yale for a Masters in Fine Arts. He now lives in New York City and Long Island. Close has horrible learning disabilities which made school extremely hard for him. Art was the one thing that he could do. When he was 11 he got sick, he in bed for almost a year and art was always something he did. Both of Chucks parents were artist and growing up he was surrounded by art. His use of color helped the development of the inkjet printer. Close uses oil paints and large canvas. In general his works are very intricate. There are made up of lots of little pieces to make one large painting. One famous painting by Close is of the former president Bill Clinton. It is a portrait of the former president. This work is of the former president. It is made up of lots of different pieces, the background is mostly blue and red shapes in different designs. Movement is a constant piece throughout this piece because all pieces have different colors and different shapes inside of them. The meaning behind this piece and what the artist is trying to tell us is all the small details about Clinton's face. This artwork influences my views on art because it shows all the different colors in one small

17. On my museum experience, I took it in like every other visit to the museum I have ever had: much like other children expressed wonder and amazement at a circus performance or sports game; I was awestruck and mesmerized by the colors, the atmosphere, and the same restrained joy that I felt evident in the eyes of all the other observers. My girlfriend and I made our way through the museum, blending in with crowds of other viewers to see Cezanne, Gauguin, Brueghel, O’Keefe and the like in the permanent collection, making time to go from one end of the spectrum to the other. But my heart has always had a soft spot for

On September 4, 2016, I visited the Matisse in His Time exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. This exhibit is home to a plethora of pieces by many different European artists from the 19th and 20th centuries. While it is focused on Matisse and his extensive works, containing more than 50 of his pieces, there are many portraits and sculptures by other influential artists from that time period including Renoir, Picasso, and Georges Braque. Three of the most appealing works that I encountered in this exhibit are Maurice de Vlaminck’s Portrait of Père Bouju, Pablo Picasso’s Reclining Woman on a Blue Divan, and Henri Matisse’s sculpture series Henriette I, Henriette II, and Henriette III.

This piece of art creates controversy over the use of animals in art because it is a live exhibit, which showcases a dog chained to a wall and deprived of food and water. Although Vargas has a meaningful message behind her work,

Our world is full of so many grandiose monuments, eye-catching sculptures, and stunning statues, each having an individual story to tell. Thousands of them have been created however, only a small number of them are actually extraordinary and picture-worthy. This paper will compare and contrast two of those picture-worthy sculptures. Furthermore, I will examine the aspects of each of these sculptures. I will compare and contrast what each of them represents, the differences in texture, their size and their tone.

The art world has been host to a vast menagerie of talent, intellect, and creativity for about as long as human culture has existed. It has grown, developed, and changed just as humanity has. Naturally, with such an impressively expansive history, various avenues of art are visited time and time again by new artists. Artists seek not only to bring their own personal flavor and meaning to timeless concepts, but to find new ways to approach them. While not every single creator and craftsman can make such a great impact on art or the world, their efforts have given birth to some truly magnificent and unique works. In an effort to create a more meaningful understanding, as well a deeper appreciation, of the nuances, techniques, and design choices employed in these attempts, a comparison will be made between Edouard Vuillard’s Interior With a Screen (1909-1910) and Henri Matisse’s Blue Nude (Souvenir of Biskra) (1907). In this essay, each artist’s approach to the subject of the female nude will be closely analyzed, compared, and contrasted, as will their styles of painting, handling of visual elements, and their use of the principles of design. An interpretation of each work and what the artist intended when creating it will also be provided.

Art is all around us. There are many different forms of art. It can be something created, captured, or it can be already existent. Not a single person is to say what makes something art because there is a different definition for everyone. However, there are a couple factors that come into mind whenever someone decides to declare something as art. In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting four different pieces of art. I will be discussing each art piece’s form, time period of creation, intention or purpose, and value. These four pieces of art are Michelangelo’s Pieta, Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, Mark Rothko’s No.61, and the “Oyster Dress” by Alexander McQueen. These works of art come in all different shapes and sizes but they are valued

When I was in 6th grade my family went on a trip to Paris France. While there we were able to explore the city and visit many well-known places such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre and a royal palace called Versailles. The Versailles was originally built by a Louis XIII in 1623 as a hunting lodge. In the years to come the building went through a few big expansions. After Louis XIII died his son Louis XIV obtained Versailles and used it as his main residence and for the seat of the government of the Kingdom of France. Also, the Versailles had enough rooms to be used for most of the courtiers to stay there. My family and I were able to take a tour of the palace. While I was on the tour we came into a room known as the Hercules Room. I walked in the room as was shocked because of a sculpture in the middle of the room. Displayed in the middle of this room in an immaculate ancient palace was an enormous metal sculpture of a dog shaped balloon animal. Directly above the dog was a massive painting covering the ceiling named Apotheosis of Hercules which was the reason the room itself was named Hercules Room. The reason I was surprised when I walked into the room was because the dog balloon sculpture was extremely different than the ceiling above it and everything surrounding it making it seem out of place.
