In Frank Romero's mural, he shows us some aspects on what to see in LA. He shows us how many of the people in LA use cars in their everyday life. This is a part of them if they like it or not. This gives us an image on what we see and do in LA.

On November 7, 1883, an exhibition organized by “May Wright Sewell, her husband Theodore, and a small group of art-minded citizens” (History, 2017) began what would one day become the establishment now known as the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Since that first exhibition, the IMA has gone through several identity changes. They were first named, the Art Association of Indianapolis. Their next identity was as the John Herron Art Institute, which opened a whole new chapter, as they became “a campus featuring both a museum and an art school.” (History, 2017) Today, the IMA is one of the largest encyclopedic art museums in the nation. The IMA has had various leadership and staff over the years that have lent to how the museum operates today.

New York City, one of the greatest cities of the world, is remarkable because of its history, culture, and diversity. It is world renowned for its skyscrapers, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Broadway entertainment, Radio City Music Hall, Central Park, and even restaurants specializing in ethnic foods. However, the thing that most intrigues and excites me about New York City is the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

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 Carnegie Museum of Art was a museum created to focus on the art of tomorrow rather than already popular art and artists of today. A necessary part for that dream of Andrew Carnegie to become a reality is having a place to house these art pieces. While of course he could have just found an empty warehouse and placed all the art there that would neither have given the pieces of art justice nor would anyone want there personal collection to be placed on display there. Instead, in order to have a successful art museum you have to house the art in a place that does it justice. Museums heavily rely on their architecture to accurately portray and supplement the showpieces within the museum. Carnegie’s art museum

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA as it is commonly known, is among the world’s largest art collections in North America, and to be specific enough the most prevalent artwork in the western United States (Compton 165). This massive art museum has a collection of over 100,000 artworks, which extends from the ancient times to present days (Gilbert and Mills 174). These collections, which are mainly from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin-America and America itself, are grouped into several departments within the museums buildings, depending on the region, culture, media, and time period. This paper analyzes the different genres of art and explains the main features that make the Islamic artworks

On Thursday March 22nd, I visited the Laguna Art Museum with my boyfriend. I was very excited for this assignment because I am a member at the Laguna art museum, but didn’t yet see the new exhibit for this season. The Laguna Art Museum is small and therefore, usually runs exhibits on one artist at the time. I knew I would more than likely only be able to pick art pieces from one artist. At this time, they were displaying a local artist, Tony DeLap, and work from his collection titled, “Retrospective”. My expectation was that I probably wouldn’t enjoy his work too much. I knew DeLap was a minimalist, “op artist”, and that style of work isn’t my favorite, typically I enjoy realist paintings. However, I decided that I should try and analyze art

“Artists who didn’t grow up in Boyle Heights see it as a blank canvas, they don’t realize they are painting over another work of art”, Voices of people living in communities all around LAL are being silenced by larger galleries suffocating local contemporaries. When on trend, these galleries begin to draw in artists and crowds from outside the community, again this can be seen as a good thing, however when galleries don’t support their community they allow for the unintentional creation of a new arts district that people can not afford and begin to be displaced. Independent spaces quickly begin to disappear along with the artists they often feature; these bigger galleries need to engage with these communities so voices can be heard to their fullest potential in all communities around Los

Upon approaching the Oakland Museum of California, it is a slightly larger building than the surroundings, that take the entire block. The futuristic design, with vertical and horizontal metal or cement walls, would make it stand out from the surroundings; but with about more than fifty percent of the exterior covered with tall trees, the building blends in well with other structure around it. The entrance lobby has a wide downward staircase, which surprising since I thought that most of the museum is on a flatter surface. I notice couple students, a middle age lady, some elders, and some guys around twenty to thirty years old. It was a hot afternoon, but it was a cool and calm atmosphere inside the museum. Inside the art gallery room of the

The Central Library in Downtown Los Angeles is a beautiful place full of great art and architectural pieces with historical elements and diverse departments for anyone’s liking. The Lodwrick M. Cook Rotunda can be considered one of the main focal points of the Central Library. The chandelier in the central part of the rotunda includes 48 lights, representing the 48 United States in 1926. This architectural design is truly a sight to see, complementing the tremendous murals painted by Dean Cornwell throughout the rotunda. These murals have a significant historical meaning to the city of Los Angeles. They represent the historical eras of California’s history: discovery, mission building, Americanization, and the founding of Los Angeles. Central

We all know the big city that everyone loves to talk about and be a part of the experience of a lifetime which is Los Angeles, also known as L.A. It is one of the most known cities in California and around the world where people’s dreams come true. L.A. is best known for its beaches, entertainment, amusements, and the people around the city. It’s also known as “The City of Angels”, which is the spanish word for “Angeles”. It is the second most populous city in the United States after New York. I’ve always known L.A. as a big part of my life, being born in the city of luxury and fame. Growing up, I never knew how much of a big deal LA was until I was in high school. Being around so much popularity and seeing the opportunities that LA has brought to people was amazing to me. From the sports games, to the concerts, to the famous celebrities walking the red carpets brung so much excitement to me and I was glad to experience all of it.

San Diego is very popular metropolis located in southern california on the west coast. Its recurring 70 degree weather and happy vibes make it an ideal place to live. San Diego also is home to and amazing skyline. My favorite building in San Diego is the fairly recently built Central Library located in the eastern part of downtown near Petco Park. Throughout the course of this paper I intend to inform the reader on what makes the Central Library unique and why it is a piece of art. The central value of the San Diego library is given through its uniqueness and is demonstrated through the relationship between its dome shaped top, slanted roof, large windows, and southern California landscape.

Research conducted over the past decade has shown the important role new media plays in contemporary society. While many of us engage with new media in our daily lives, the ideals behind archiving, curating, and exhibiting it are still difficult to approach. As more types of new media and digital media are created, we struggle as interior designers to understand how to represent these works spatially. The proposition of a museum for new media will be outlined by assessing a variety of emerging topics. Investigation regarding the historic ideologies of object oriented artwork as well as classic philosophies of the art scene will be contrasted to the modernized requirements of new media. Opportunities regarding displays, casework, and

Los Angeles, the City of Angels, is filled with various cultures and people from around the world. Los Angeles is known for many things from our food to the Griffith Observatory or the Hollywood sign. Los Angeles is often referred to as the melting pot of cultures. Often portrayed in the movies, people come to Los Angeles to be the next movie star and live a glamorous life filled with over the top parties, but Another City challenges that idea. “Magic Hour” shows Los Angeles a not so glamorous side of LA, but also shows the beauty of Los Angeles. In Another City: Writings From Los Angeles edited by David L. Ulin, a collection of short stories and poems about Los Angeles, the writers write about coming to Los Angeles or growing up in LA and how this city shapes the residents identities and how Los Angeles is seen to outsiders and residents. “Magic Hour” is about Erika Schickel views on Los Angeles and how it shapes her and her views on the city, she explores the relationship between herself and the city.
