Oyster Tonger Analysis

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

The Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC is a timeless building and a work of art itself. The building was designed with a contemporary style and is an outward expression of its artistic, belongings inside. I visited the Museum on Tuesday, July 02, 2013, at around 2 in the afternoon. I was within the museum for about 2 ½ hours, observing the exhibits. The building itself exceeded my expectations, but the inside took my breath away. Every detail within was elaborate and intended with thought; from the glass windows, to the straight lines of the architecture, to the

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.

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

For this project, I chose the Tampa Museum of Art. My daughter Annabelle, who is eleven, accompanied me. She is an aspiring young artist who loves to paint and assemble collages. This paper will describe our trip, the museum’s activities, and what was on exhibit. After which, I will choose two works of art and preform an analysis on them. I will employ the formal elements and the principles of design to engage the first piece, “The Great Journey”. With my second choice “A Group of Cubans who left Manzanillo are Rescued at Sea”, I will discuss how applying an alternative contextual analysis would help in understanding the meaning behind the painting more.

This Summer, I had the opportunity to spend my entire break attending conferences and interning at a lab at UCSD so I thought to myself I would never have the time to visit any art museum or do my summer assignments for that matter. That was until I realized I was living at a campus who had an art piece practically on every corner of their six colleges. I then began my journey, on scooter, to discover the hidden and the not so hidden gems The Stuart Collection at UCSD had to offer. It was then that I fell in love with 2 specific art pieces throughout the campus, those being Do Ho Suh’s Fallen Star, which depicts an immigrant’s transition into American culture, and Kiki Smith’s Standing, which depicts a seemingly tortured woman.

The aim of this lab is to determine if the Seven River oyster is suitable for oyster restoration. During this lab we learned that Salinity affects the oysters if it is more than 10-13ppt. We also have knowledge that there is a parasite (the protozoan, Haplospordium nelson) that causes the disease MSX in oysters (Readel, 2000). Moreover, at the lab we knew that MSX bacteria will grow if salinity is above 15 ppt that will cause the oysters to die. The oysters can be affected by MSX if the salinity is above 15 ppt (Readel, 2000). Furthermore, Oysters are also used to filter the water of the river. Also, we learned that the range of tolerance of salinity for oysters is 10-27

Art has the power to tell a story, whether it is a story of success and happiness, or one of sadness and despair. Although Ardmore is growing in many negative aspects, a beautiful sculpture such as Dale Chihuly’s glass art would have the ability to represent the southern town well and so that even those that are not interested in the art would be

My experiences at LandWorks were enriching; it empowered me to question how art therapy allows emotions to be vocalised through art, the importance of artistic and therapeutic techniques, and the significance to implement art therapy into everyday life; allowing one to find one’s self. I wanted to investigate how each prisoner copes with showing emotion, the importance of time and how their use of their time has changed. Also, what the prisoners learnt throughout their journey, and what helps to motivate the prisoners to undertake a more positive outlook. Does art facilitate the viewer to have an experience? Does it explores the viewer’s perceptual capabilities, so they can develop their own meaning behind the work? Dewey (2005:36) discusses the experiences felt by viewers,

Theastre Gates' minimalist exhibition, How To Build A House Museum, is a historic event for the Art Gallery of Ontario. Commonly regarded as a somewhat conventional gallery, Gates' immersive work is a monumental step towards engaging the AGO with contemporary artists lives and works. As we walk into the fifth floor, the audience feels as if we have crossed through time to another space, similar to the transportive journey that listening to music or being in a club takes you on. Gates uses his art to evoke that same form of escapism. However, once your mind feels relaxed and is open to take in the exhibit, Gates throws a multitude of historical graphs, personal items and architecture layered in meaning onto you, as a reminder that this whole

The meaning of a unadorned sculpture that one passes by on a routine bases, can end up having a much more monumental and deep meaning than what an individual may have discerned. Untitled is just one example of the multiple pieces of artwork that stands tall throughout the Lewis and Clark Community College campus. A strong representation of many different feelings is given off to the buildings, its surroundings, and the students and faculty that walk among it. Each physical characteristic comes together to design the horse and can be analyzed to have meanings like recognition, nobility, and guidance.

I saw the glistening sunlight enhanced the silky fabric that cascaded the Earth around us, while the frigid dew and vigorous winds dampened the air. Despite my pervious exposure to the Hudson River during our first walking trip, standing in the dock allowed me to absorb the beautiful landscape and gives me a different experience then looking at maps. I can only imagine what was going through Harry Hudson’s and Giovanni da Verrazzano’s mind as they stumbled upon this estuary.

What is art? A question asked by many yet never answered. Art is something one can not really reply without personal bias. Every human alive has had experiences in life to form there like dislike and personal tastes. What one finds beautiful another might not. When one views an exhibit what question should one ask themselves? Let’s explore Carl knickerbockers exhibit “Incomplete Guide to Suburban Primitive”.

Whilst visiting Crosby beach in October 2013 there was evidence of the public altering the statues appearance. Somebody had knitted around the ankle of one, and also placed a hard hat on the head. The statues being placed at Crosby beach had created a large tourist attraction and we see how the public introduce their own enjoyment to the art.

On Thursday I took my personal field trip around campus to observe the permanent sculptures as well as the ones on tour. I really enjoyed looking at both but I personally felt that I enjoyed the permanent ones better and that is what I will write about in this paper. The permanent sculptures resemble students and faculty at Western Michigan University. In contrast, the sculptures on tour did not relate so much to the students or campus as much but they did relate to the state of Michigan. While I was observing the sculptures, I did have one favorite and that the was Dunes because it painted an accurate illustration in my head when I was observing it. I decided to take my personal field trip in the morning instead of in the afternoon
