My Trip To Dallas Museum Essay

When I came to the museum, the first thing that impressed me was the astonishing building: it was a masterpiece itself. The exterior of the Tampa Museum of Art has a light installation, and all I wanted at that moment is night to come so I could see thousands of colored lights reflected in the surface of the river that flows near the museum. What’s more, I liked the design of the museum inside as well. There were white walls and perfect lighting, and nothing would bother contemplation. In many museums I have visited before there was a lot of distractions, but in this museum everything was done on the principle of simplicity, and that was very pleasing to me. Moreover, when we came inside of the museum, it was almost empty. There were just a few visitors, who were fascinated by various drawings and statues. Most of the visitors were teenagers, what slightly surprised me. I

The artwork uses many values and shades of colors. There are four different figures in the painting. One that is a baby covered with this transparent material that is streaming throughout the entire thing. There is a pale women that is admiring her beauty and is not paying attention to her surroundings. She has long, wavy hair which she is fixing while looking at her reflection. The next figure is an older version of her. She is darker than the other women with wrinkles that shows the aging of the lady. The last figure is at the right holding an hourglass on the top of the painting. It is a warning of how much time she has left before death. Her body is all scrawny and her bones are showing. It looks like she represents death with her hair being all fallen out. The pale women is dominant in the painting. The rest of the painting is dark and it looks like the artist only used a few colors for the painting.

This painting is a portrait of an old woman who is sitting on a chair while facing to the left. She is wearing a yellow flower dress with a beige jacket while sitting in an empty room. Her beauty is illustrated by her curly, gray hair and also her wrinkled face, neck, and hands. These details is what makes her look real and pure. I like how detailed it is because it reminds me of my grandmothers.

One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.

I was excited to start my day by going to the museum on Saturday morning. I had originally decided to visit the Broad Museum in Los Angeles; however, I decided to give my local museum a go. After all, the Bowers Museum was the last museum I had gone to. I regretted my decision. The Bowers Museum does hold several exhibitions, but I found it lacking in actual drawings and paintings. It seems as if they prioritize artifacts over print media. The museum is big and it’s easy to lose yourself in its long hallways. It’s disappointing to see much valuable space, in my opinion, go to waste. In conclusion, I was expecting to see hallways covered in art like I’ve seen in galleries, rooms filled with rarities and beauty, but unfortunately that was not the

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.

Growing up in Dallas, I have always been interested in my city’s diverse culture and rich history. Not too long ago, I learned about one of the most tragic events to occur in the Dallas area, an event that not only impacted the future of Dallas, but also affected Texas, the United States, and the world as a whole. No, this is not the unfortunate shooting of John F. Kennedy, but the untimely cancellation of what physicists planned to be the most significant and largest science device in recorded history - a 54-mile circumference particle accelerator named “Superconducting Super Collider.”

Amongst my visit, I was a little confused on what I was doing, but I decided to get out of the car and proceed walking to the building. When I entered the building there was a tall guy who greeted me, he wore an outfit similar to a boys scout leader. He then asked me if it was my first time attending and I said yes. There was a couple coming through the door, so he greeted them both and then told us a little about the exhibit. He then instructed us on how to see all of the exhibit and gave us a map/brochure. I then walked away and started to look around on my own. At first what caught my attention is the models and some of the things written on the walls. I then noticed that even though I was reading it, I was not retaining the information, so then I started to

One of the finest French artists of the 19th century thought of by many is William Bouguereau. He was well known for his traditional

The historical site that I visited was the Overland Trail Museum in Sterling, Colorado. The main part of the museum that I will focus on is the Pioneer Village that they have there. I really liked this museum, because it is a more hands-on museum than other museums that I have visited. In the village, they have many different buildings. These buildings included Garrett Barber Shop, a schoolhouse, Evangelical Lutheran Concordia Church, a doctor 's office, a Dailey Store, The O 'Connell House, a Filing Station, a train station, and a train car. Every time you went into one of these buildings, there was a brief summary of where the building used to be located and the building was filled with things you would have found in that building a long time ago.

All of the art I saw was either based on Spanish Culture or drawn by someone of Spanish heritage. The date it was drawn was in B.C [Before Christ] or A.D. [After the death of Christ]. I made an observation that most of the art pieces at the museum were from Mexico or the Mayan culture. This experience was wonderful for me because whenever I visit the museum I automatically go to the African collection. But last Friday was a completely different experience. I spent 1 hour and about 30 minutes there just looking, reading, and taking notes of the Spanish art. The museum I went to has a river/pool in the middle of the building where visitors can walk around in. I took pictures with the dancing flower and I went with my cousins and uncles and I had a spectacular evening. I also chose this cultural experience because it cost me $0 and the food at the café was cheap and tasty. The negative things about this experience is that the museum was too quiet and the building had a few people in it. I had to stay 2 feet away from the art pieces, and I was not given the chance to display my intermediate Spanish speaking skills. I was with my family members and we cracked jokes and we were having a good time then a lady that worked there spoke rudely to us. She told us to behave and reduce our volume and that upset me because I was having a good time observing the carved art pieces. The environment felt calm since there was a live band playing orchestral music that soothed me..I practiced some of the greetings, and the museum officials spoke English to me and most of them did not speak Spanish. I felt like I was going to get a good grade because I understood the pieces and the instructions for the essay. In the beginning I felt bored because I entered with a serious attitude and I had my timer on for 45 minutes. But I began to feel more laid back and I

My experience to the Dallas Museum of Art was a bit different from the last time I had attended the museum. I was curious to see what pieces of art there would be and if it would be the same as the previous visit which was long ago, but to me all the pieces of art were so different and very interesting. It may have been because I saw all the pieces in a new perspective since learning about the different types of paintings there can be and knowing how and where sculptures come from. Even though I do not know much of art I really gave it a try into seeing what the artist may have wanted us to get out of his work. By reading a view of the chapters made me aware of art, I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but it was actually nice knowing that a

Jan van Eyck was active since 1422 and died in 1441. He was the most celebrated painter of the fifteen-century in Europe. One of his famous works is “The Last Judgment”. At first sight this work immediately attracted my attention. The painting’s stunning colors and the fact that it reminded me of a previous similar work I have seen, triggered in my mind. The material that is used is oil on canvas, transferred from wood. The size of this work is 22 1/4 *7 2/3 in. (56.5 * 19.7cm).

What a blessing I had today to experience in my own eyes wonderful sights and scenes. Many of you already know that I 'm famous for the mystical experiences I’ve had with Jesus and God in the past. Perhaps you’ve read my book? The Book of Margery Kempe? Yes, I Margery Kemp, got the opportunity to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. There 's over thousands of beautiful artwork, one visit won 't suffice. I was captivated by everything I saw, but I was especially drawn into the magnificent gallery number 305.

After getting over my initial reluctance, I got butterflies in my stomach. This was only the 2nd time I’d been to an art museum, so I wanted to make the most of it. When we first arrived, we looked around at some paintings. I visited an exclusive temporary exhibit of Edvard Munch which included a surprising amount of paintings of naked women. Nothing caught my eye in the first few galleries, but then I stumbled on an exhibit called “In Character” by Nam June Paik. As soon as I walked in, I got embarrassingly excited. I constantly had to stop myself from running around the museum like a madman. All the TV sculptures and simple, childlike drawings had been just so incredible to me. The piece that I really enjoyed the most was a sculpture called “Self-Portrait.”
