Menil Library Description

The museum I chose to visit was the Dali Museum mainly because I have been wanting to check it out since I first moved down here to Florida three years ago. My sister has always been a huge Salvador Dali fan and even has a tattoo of his painting titled “The Elephants” on her side. I am looking forward to experiencing more of his paintings other than his most popular works of art. I am also hoping this experience will give me a greater appreciation for him as an artist by seeing the diversity of his works. What I am least looking forward to is trying to find one work of art that really stands out to me enough to write this paper about. I am sure I am going to find multiple pieces of art that I will love.

During our visit to the El Paso Museum of Art, our docent (insert name) took us on a tour of their current exhibitions: Robert Delaunay and Albert Gleizes: The School of Paris from Modern Master Series: Highlights from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Immaculate Conception, Amplified Abstraction, and Modern Stone Totems. In addition to our expedition we observed art of Mexico and New Spain that showcased 17th and 19th century paintings and sculptures. European art with includes paintings and sculptures from the Samuel H. Kress Collection. As well as, early American art from the 19th century to the mid 20th century.

Three weeks ago I visited the Art Institute of Chicago. It was established in 1879 and has since expanded its collection to approximately three hundred thousand works. Attracting over one and a half million visitors annually, it is one of the largest art museums in the United States. The reason I chose this site is that I read that it displayed Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, and I wanted to see it in person because it is so iconic.

As I was walking around the museum, I was shocked and in complete desire when me and my friends walked into a large circle roof type architecture. It was absolutely amazing to be inside and under it. Finally, we reached our destination which was the Mummy exhibit and were impressed with what they had on site.

After arriving and going through the security screenings, I proceeded to go down the stairs, entering the exhibit itself. Before even observing anything specific, it was immediately realized that this was no typical museum. Most people know that upon arrival, but only when you first enter the exhibit do you realize that this museum is not one that inspects the past, but one that reminds us of it.

The Appleton Museum of Art holds many exhibits showing how art changes between time eras and places. The artworks in these exhibits have a variety of perspectives, and art styles. Each piece holds their own story within the composition, style, and craftsmanship. I picked two different artworks the painting Tricoteuse (The Knitter) by the French painter William Adolphe Bouguereau, and the painting Daphnis and Chole by the American painter Elizabeth Jane Gardner.

First of all, I want to start off with I choose this museum because it was the closest to where I live. But they were a lot of choices of museums that could choose. But the funny story is that this was not my original choice. I wanted to go to a veteran museum but it was close and then I went to another museum and it was also close too. So it was like my fate to go this Air Museum. I really don’t regret it. Let me explain why, this museum is not fanciest museums. It is an outdoor museum so you have to deal little bit with the heat. But it was very fascinating experience I had. For me since, I was

Viewing Frank Romero's art piece titled " Going to the Olymics" that was on the side of the 101 wall in L.A. In the art that he did there are many beautiful murals that pop out and standout. The amazing art work is colorful and has many meanings. It was out on the side of the wall so that everyone that passes by in the 101 saw it and were amazed. The art work was there to stand out.

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

These places contain images of people and activities that took place in the history of Minnesota. This was a quiet place where the instructor was guiding us through every picture. Since we are lovers of music, we wanted to enjoy the beautiful salsa dances and merengue that are provided in this place. After lunch, we were tired and wanted to experience the best form of entertainment that was provided in the area. Chairs and tables were cleared for people to dance in this hotel. We had brilliant forms of music that were presented to us by different people during this visit. We also met lovely people who explained to us the significance of some of the songs that act as a uniting factor to the people. This was the best night since we had the opportunity to enjoy different forms of music that were also presented by the local

Last year, I visited the Menil Collection located in Houston, Texas. Overall, the general atmosphere of the museum was very dignified. When observing the illustrations, the only sounds audible were the wood floors creaking as each step I took increased. As with each step I took, a tacitum guard placed in each room had their eyes set on me and followed me as if they were my very own shadow. I was a bit intimidated, but I understood they did not want an incident such as the vandalism act in 2012 to occur once again. Despite the uncanny tone at times, I felt as if the formal ambience helped create an attentive connection with the artwork and I. Once adjusted to the silent atmosphere and presence of the guards, my sole focus jumped to the paintings

The Menil Collection made up of several building, parks, outdoor sculptures and contains a diverse collection of artwork.

Dalí began collaborating with Luis Buñuel on an idea for a film and so he moved to France in order to work on the project. Seeking artistic solace when he arrived in Paris, Dalí found himself in a city ripe for creative risk-taking. Buñuel and Dalí were both fascinated by film as “it could be used to represent unconscious processes, dreams, and basic human emotion” in a way that two-dimensional mediums could not. In his paintings, Dalí often included a myriad of objects in a vacant location in an attempt to replicate the swiftness of people’s thoughts. Yet no matter the skill an artist’s possesses, they can never show real motion found like a film. Additionally, film exists in its own reality that would allow the pair to explore in depth

As onlookers peer into the artworks in front of them, there is no question as to whether or not they considered what the artwork means, where it came from and what the artist was interested in who created it. The
