I have not had the fortune to travel to many places, but did not really need to in order to write about one of my favorite places. I have chosen to write about Vizcaya, a place in which I have personally been able to experience and enjoy many times throughout my life. Although Vizcaya was constructed in what would be considered modern times, Vizcaya’s Gardens were inspired and designed in a European Renaissance style. Its formal gardens and design are reminiscent of Italian home and garden design of the late 15th to 18th century, influenced by Veneto and Tuscan Italian Renaissance. These splendid gardens are very formal and orderly, created for the environment of the user. They are very symmetrical and include all sorts of fascinating elements

Lueth and Roden have transformed a block piece into a meticulous 46″ x 30″ artwork. Portraying lush forests and an abundant growth of exotic and colorful landscapes, the work has an abundance of vibrancy to rival a rainbow, under a landscape of a mountain range. The woodblock print, Overlook, is built on 5 plates including 4 color blocks each uniquely carved on

Scott Redford and Anne Zahalka use their artworks to comment, reflect and document cultural ideas and values of a place.

In the Article, “Sophia Nuske Ceramics Make You question everyday objects,” the ceramic artist Nuske is discussed and her recent works are introduced. Nuske takes common, everyday objects that most people would not bother focusing their attentions on, and creates jarring replicas that will have viewers stop and stare to take in the odd arrangement. The common objects, such as an ordinary wooden pencil, are altered in appearance by bending them in unnatural shapes and giving them unusual colors. The objects were set up in a gallery, where they were placed in situations that they would normally be found in (e.g. pencils on a desk or similar flat surface). She has won several awards for her work.

Her current studio practice focuses on works that explore her interests in mark making as it relates to a pattern, drawing and personal expression. Stinson works ranges from the functional to sculptural. Each format is a way for her to engage the viewer on different and multiple levels. Stinson also utilizes multiple methods of making, throwing, slip casting, and press molding, to attain a variety of effects and unique characteristics in the finished work. These process and surfaces help to develop the underlining content in the finished pieces.

This project is meant to show that older things can still be beautiful today. ------ is about style and class mixed with culture and color to make something exhilarating.

Matthew Ritchie and Susan Rothenberg are both flourishing artist’s that have set forth numerous collections of artwork. Each piece that they have created are based off of different experiences they had throughout their life. Although most of their artistically creative career continues to grow, many pieces that have been established individually by the two were developed using many different techniques, structures, and thoughts.

With the LED light installation, teamLab illustrates a “Crystal Universe” by having the viewer control of a tech device the lights change and causes it to look like you’re truly in universe. The artwork invites the viewer to imagine themselves as if they were viewing the universe through a three dimensional perspective. Through the way the sculpture is set up, it allows the visitor to be able to walk through it and get a complete experience.

The evolving partnership of Charles Vyse and Barbara Waller (1949-1951) would prove to be exacting and industrious. Working at the Cheyne Row studio they produced a number of animal and figure models, alongside a range of Chinese inspired high-fired, ash glazed stoneware vessels. Whether by design or accident, much of the figurative work of Vyse and Waller partnership, would in the future, prove problematical for collectors. However, at this remove, it is difficult to attribute some figures and vessels, either jointly or individually. Furthermore, it is impossible to assign specific tasks, such as modelling, decorating, and glazing, to either of the partners. To compound the conflict of attribution, there are occasions when both Vyse and Waller have exhibited the same figure, individually signed, and again, as a

High white walls of a narrow passageway, lit with familiar florescent lights. A faint humming and hushed mechanical clanking lure in curiosity. Rounding the corner, azure hued jello placed upon silver platters welcome all gazes into a transparent non lucid presentation of the somewhat familiar. The confections rest on pedestals, are quaint and inviting while surrounded by glimpses of other worlds.

Company G feels that consumers will value that the product is designed with professional presentation in mind. Adding to this presentation are the clean lines, efficiency, ease of installation, and beauty that compliments a corporate setting.

People might think that the sets are merely just a normal dining object. However, the mutation gives a more exciting experience for diners. Through this product, Zahareas wants to provoke that design is able to create a connection between users based on computers’ screen views. By using these oddly designed objects, it also questions the diners about their eagerness and willingness to achieve an intimate dining experience with their partners or family members. According to Zahareas website, she argues that, “How far we are willing to go in distorting our physical experience to fit with the aesthetics and peculiarities of the screen, as a medium. The exploration results in the proposal of a collection of props that are inspired and conceived by the peculiarities of the medium and will highlight their surreal nature when performed.” (Skype Dining
