Museum Technical Report

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but

It is officially one of the most wonderful times of the school year! Many families anticipate spring break once school begins in August. If you find yourself spring breaking in Mobile, Alabama, you will not be lacking in things to do. Mobile has everything from museums, to art, to botanical gardens, and more! Keep reading below on five spring break activities that you can do in Mobile!

Originally, I planned on taking the one hour drive to the Charles H. Wright Museum. I imagined that my field trip to that particular museum would be beneficial to both myself furthermore, my paper. I visited the Ypsilanti Historical Museum instead, having little awe during my observational trip. First and foremost everywhere I glanced I wanted to see a black face sadly, that did not happen in my favor. This museum definitely appeals to the eye for creativity plus their modernization. The notable African Americans the museum did hold were placed in a glass case, indubitably separated (maybe I just make everything a racial thing, but nowadays it is hard not to). Also, I can count on one hand how many African American females I witnessed in a

Written works are creative displays of human thoughts. Unlikely stories have captivatedaudiences that transcend generations. Essays have enlightened people and even sparked revolutions.Normal everyday writing has played a vital part in understanding the past, captivating the present, andshaping the future.Writing has been able to fill in the gaps of history. By analyzing primary sources such as old letters, andjournal entries, historians have been able to take note of details in particular time periods. Letters suchas Mary F’s letter (Source E) to her cousin provide specific details on the life of someone living on theprairie in 1863. The failure to preserve common writing, despite their simplicity, would cause history tolack perspective.Today

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”.

De Young Museum located in the heart of Golden Gate Park, the landscape is rectangle. The twist tower is standing in the corner of the building. Adjacent is the pool of enchantment. Overlooking, we can see the white stone paves and green lawns, they formed a sharp contrast, the lines are combined to be a very distinctive form. One of the oval shaped lounges is deliberately split into two parts. It is staggered placement at two sites. It breaks the original space and the formation to be a

I went to LACMA, Los Angeles Country Museum of Art with my eldest sister and my little three-year-old sister. Since we went with a toddler I wasn’t able to see all the exhibits and galleries due to my little sister being impatient and having an impulse of wanting to touch everything. The first exhibit we looked at was the Art of The Pacific that their art goes back to the 18th century from Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Melanesia. They have different objects that were used for example; they had a stool, feeding funnel and a female figure. The stool was used for cooking and made out of wood and fiber. The feeding funnel comes from New Zealand and the Mahaki tribes of it are made out of wood and Haliotis shell. The layout for this exhibit was simple

It was one of the first depot’s to be built in Victorian style having an office, a men’s and women’s waiting room and a freight room.

This museum is situated in a house that was built in the late 19th century and was used as a boarding house for students of Kansas State University in the bygone era. The museum has been decorated in a 1880s period style, in spectacular colors and grand design. Visitors can discover how early pioneer families learned to live in style by taking the tour of the house-museum, which includes a living room, parlor, dining room, kitchen, sewing room and bedrooms. So if you are in Manhattan, the beautiful exhibits on display at Wolf House Museum are a must see for art

There have been thousands of inventions created that have impacted the world greatly. Some historians might argue that the most important invention from the second millennium is the Gutenberg Printing Press, which was completed in 1450. The Gutenberg Printing Press was created by Johannes Gutenberg, a German inventor. Johannes Gutenberg created many inventions, but the invention of the printing press is the most impacting one. The Gutenberg Printing molded the modern world by allowing societal, religious, and intellectual works to be distributed and read at a rate never seen before.

Given the prevalence of books, magazines, and newspapers in everyday life today, it is difficult to imagine a world without print. The transition from the essentially oral culture of the late Middle Ages to the print culture of the Renaissance fundamentally changed human interaction. In Western society, the invention of the printing press and subsequent widespread literacy signaled the shift away from a primarily oral culture to a literate, print culture. Many scholars, including Plato and Harold Innis, have suggested that the advantages of an oral culture exceed those of a print culture. Even further, the past few decades have seen calls to orality, or propositions that we must return to oral culture to balance print culture. As seen through a lens of the history of print culture, the benefits of literacy and a predominantly print culture outweigh the benefits of an oral culture because of the impact print has had on standardized language and national consciousness, the field of science and accuracy, and the quick dissemination of information and dialogue. Through a comparison of advancements during the Print Revolution and current features of modern society, I will argue that there is no need to re-embrace orality because elements of oral culture already exist in our modern print culture.

In the last century mankind has seen an impressive uptick in technology in almost every field imaginable. As every decade passes new products and technologies take hold of the market, as yesterday’s products become obsolete. Imagine if the United States never had the plethora of amazing engineers and inventers that it did. What would everyday life be like today? It is interesting to think about how a country as large as the United States would operate without any digital communication. Fortunately for the America, amazing minds such as Edison, Tesla, Alexander Bell, and the Wright Brothers did exist to excel us into the technological age.

For my first trip this semester I went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I went to see the gladiator exhibit and to see the changes from the last time I visited the museum. The exhibit was full of interesting armor and weapons. It also showed how movies and real life differed in the ring. The functional style of the roman gladiator equipment was amazing. I have always been very interested in weapons and armor. I went to see the exhibit because of a video game. I recently aquired a game called For Honor which is about 3 factions at war. The factions are the knights, vikings, and samurai. The game was fun but it got me interested in the accuracy and portrayal of the characters. The exhibit seemed like a perfect chance to actually see

I like my project about the Art Museum a lot, because it is the first time I go to a museum and I can appreciate the artwork. I have never noticed the colors, lines, shapes, etc. every time I went to a museum, I was bored and I always tried to see all as fast as I could, but this time was different. I took my time to observe every piece of art and actually appreciate it. I think that being an artist is also a hard work, not all people have the ability to relate colors, shapes and textures and not all people have that tremendous imagination to see through the paintings or

Three current exhibits on display in the ISU Museums are: “Red,” “Parallels: The Architecture of Impermanence,” and “Creative by Nature.” “Red” is an exhibit with varying mediums all involving the color red on display at the Christian Petersen Art Museum. “Red” invoked a much stronger feeling on me than any other art exhibit I have been to. Being in one room where mostly everything is one color is powerful. “Parallels: The Architecture of Impermanence,” an exhibit of drawings and painting by Joe Patrick on display at the Brunnier Art Museum. “Creative by Nature,” an exhibit consisting of pieces from the Inuit culture, also located at the Brunnier Art Museum. Both exhibits at the Brunnier
