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

“This world is but a canvas to our imagination”; which always has been throughout the years. Art has been separated in different categories such as architectures, sculptures, photography and paintings. For my semester project, which was to visit an art or historic museum; my classmates and I went to the Reynolda House Museum of American art which provided us both the art and history. At first, we all assume that the visit would be boring or the art gallery would be dull. What shocked us the most was the actual experience being in the museum instead of just talking about it. We experienced multiple feelings during our visit in the art gallery as well as the historic area. From the art gallery which held many paintings of artist, to the house that R.J Reynolds and his family once occupied. Furthermore, it also showed us the legacy of R.J Reynolds and his family has left behind for the people of Winston-Salem.

Under the guidance of Charles Willson Peale (fig. 1) in 1805, a group of Philadelphian artists and merchants gathered to ratify the charter that formed the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) the oldest art school and museum in the United States. Founded on the dedication and principles of education, collecting, and exhibiting American art. Peale and the other Found Fathers of American art sought “to promote the cultivation of the Fine Arts, in the United States…and exciting the efforts of the artists, gradually to unfold, enlighten and invigorate the talents of our Countrymen.”

The Dallas Museum is a renowned art museum established in 1903 and is located in Dallas, Texas (Neumann et al. 19). The Dallas Museum of art is one of the largest art museums in the United States of America containing more than 24,000 collections of art ranging from the ancient to the modern ones (MacDonald & Brettell 112). There are numerous things inside the museum, such as the pieces of art, museum visitors, and the architecture, that relate to the understanding of the world outside the museum in terms of the day to day life and the human society. My goal in this essay is to think outside the box and describe the observations I made inside the museum and explain how they relate to my everyday life, the wider world, or the human society.

The Pasadena Museum of California Art has a beautiful exterior with an open-air staircase with moody light play from an oculus above its entrance to a three-story facility. The walls all around it are covered in complicated patterns and symbols. The building definitely stands out against all the other buildings in the area. The inside is very roomy, and filled with lots of artwork all around.

The Philbrook Museum of Art is easily the best museum Tulsa has to offer, and since I have been there before I probably wasn’t going into with a fresh mindset. However, I think the additional knowledge of art I learned through the couple of years in between allowed me to appreciate even more of the art there. I went there with Prof. Trotter and most of the class of art appreciation. I don’t think that most people that go there realize that the museum has such a rich history, and some of the art there is exceptional in my opinion. We went there November 6th, it was a sunny Friday, and I was able to get off work so it made the visit even more fun. The museum was located in the heart of one of richest neighborhoods of Tulsa, which makes sense considering the museum was once owned by a wealthy oilman. I went to the Philbrook not only to make sure I was able to write this essay, but because I truly love art throughout history.

Throughout the experience, I learned the importance and care of working with an artifact along with operations within a museum. As I toured Heartland Museum, I witnessed all of the items that are stored behind the scenes because museums only keep a small percentage of the belongings on display. I also learned about the process of creating a display, which includes piecing together many details like attraction, relevance, and of course history. Museums must worry about the community’s interest in the displays. Lastly, I learned about the importance of an artifact by working with some of the items. It is important to handle artifacts with care because of the fragility of the item. After the information I learned at the museum, it was my turn to experience the public

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview about my experience attending the Philadelphia Art Museum on March 15, 2013. The museum is Located in Philadelphia, PA and the exhibition that caught my attention was Journeys to New Worlds it explores the artistic exchanges between Spain and Portugal and their colonies in the Americas and Asia during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. (The Philadelphia Museum of Art, p. Philadelphia Art Museum).

Union University Art Gallery plays host to several different artists’ galleries throughout the year, for free and open to the public. Currently on display is “Hodgepodge”, a collection of about ten canvases by Brian Bundren. While Bundren has been painting and displaying his artwork for quite some time (his first gallery was in the mid-1990s!), “Hodgepodge” contains paintings only from 2013-2016.

This was the medium in which the MET used to construct their narrative and to educate the participant. These artifacts spoke in a unique way, each one depicting images that told about the structures of society, trades, religious motifs, as well as the techniques and mysteries around the methods used in creating such masterpieces. As I continued from one display to the next, reading the descriptions and tidbits of history, I easily transitioned from one period to the next. I describe this experience as being engaged with a living

I am glad that I got to Philadelphia Art Museum, I would have never have visited if I never took that class, it made me appreciate art more. I remember being excited seeing the familiar statue and art painting, that I learned in class. And explaining to my brother the history and meanings behind each art that I was familiar with. This trip was a great experienced for me I had a great time spending my time

The city of Detroit, Michigan has been on a down ward spiral. Why you ask? Detroit used to be the biggest automotive car maker in the United States, but has taken a big hit since the Automotive collapse. People leaving the city to migrate elsewhere for work. The community in the cities of Michigan just haven't been the same since .

The Cleveland Museum of Art possess a collection of more than 30,000 works of art that ranges over 5,000 years (Ancient Egypt to present) from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. The museum opened on June 6, 1916 to give people access to physically visualize works of art created by intellectuals and to honor and appreciate the complexity of their art and legacy they left for us. This year makes the Cleveland Museum of Art’s centennial, 100-year anniversary, so institutions around the world loaned works of art to the museum for a beautiful exhibition. In the Cleveland Museum of Art’s permanent collection, it includes one of Nicolas Poussin’s greatest accomplishment, The Holy Family on the Steps.

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
