Perez Art Museum Research Paper

This paper is a formal analysis of the Marble grave stele with a family group relief sculpture. It is a pentelic marble style relief standing at 171.1cm tall carved by a master. It is from the Late Classical period of Greek, Attic which was completed around ca.360 B.C. . I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because I’m mainly attracted to art and sculptures from the Greek era. The overall color used in this relief is ivory with a few cracks and pieces broken off. There is some discoloration which causes the color to come off as slightly light brown for most of the relief. The sculpture appears larger compared to the other sculptures in the art room. It represents a family which includes a man, his wife, and their

Diego Rivera was born in December of 1886 and first began creating art and murals at the age of three after the death of his twin brother. Young Diego's parents caught him drawing on the walls of their home but rather than punish him for it they instead nurtured his growing creativity. They installed canvas and chalkboard on the walls and let Rivera create as he saw fit. Even in his early years Diego knew what he wanted to be. When Diego Rivera was 10, he attended San Carlos school of fine arts where he furthered his love for art. In 1907, Diego Rivera continued his education in Europe. He there also met a few others who later became famous artistic figures. For example, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Piet Mondrian. The world in which Diego

The Selena museum is located in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. Her family created the museum in her honor after her death. The museum was built in 1998 after her father received a bunch of fan mail. The museum is in the back of the recording studio her family owns. They wanted to do something in her honor with the help of her fan club sending them letters telling them they should.

A Chicano/Chicano is someone of Mexican decent or born in Mexico, but are residents and citizens of the Unites States. From the power point I learned that there are four different criteria in Chicano art that help express the culture of Mexican Americans. Expose oppression, rewrite Mexican American experiences into history, Create social and racial pride and showing and oppositional way of thinking. I also learned about some of the history behind Chicanos and how it all started with the Chicano movement in the 1960. They wanted to raise awareness about the inequalities and discrimination that many Mexican Americans had to phase. Chicano used art as a form of spreading awareness to their communities as well as using art to represent their culture.

Essential question: To what extent were social divisions the cause of the mexican revolution, and to what extent were these issues resolved by revolution? Introduction: Diego Rivera was without a doubt the most influential artist of the twentieth century. Rivera painted murals that influenced thousands of eyes and challenged them to think deeper. Diego Rivera was a zealot in the sense that he had a burning passion for his murals, that more often than not addressed social inequality.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was my choice for the museum visits. Getting to the museum was an adventure in itself. My friends and I had taken the subway and had gotten off a stop early. We had walked around Central Park before we finally saw the museum. The front steps were packed with many different groups of people. There were students on trips, tourists, and local residents. It was a magnificent sight to look at. Walking into the museum felt like walking into another world.

Through the story the auditorium becomes a life or death sitiuation.“Down by the stage, the unlucky few hide between their seats or shiver in the aisles. Teachers and a handful of students drag the wounded behind chairs for protection. The chourus members who made a beeline backstage have not reappeared, but few would risk running out in the open to cross the elevated stage”(p41). The students and teachers that hide behind chairs makes everything seem mysterious as they help the wounded and hide behind chairs.Along with point of veiw, perspective, and setting the theme is created off of

In 1934 José Clemente Orozco completed a two-year fresco mural project at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Located in the Baker Library at the center of campus, The Epic of American Civilization is comprised of twenty-six panels that form a somewhat chronological treatise on the historical and sociological evolution of North America. Not only is the work epic in subject matter, but also in size, as it measures almost 150 feet long.1

The new Museum of art Perez in Miami (PAMM) opened in 2013 is located in the Park of museums, and is part of the redevelopment of the central coastline

The de Young museum seen from a distance is a bold architectural statement, with its sleek horizontal building, indeterminate dark brown color and its massive tower emerging from its slightly bent curving roof. The building is an example of boldness, internationalism and cultural neutrality. Its setting in the Golden Gate Park’s landscape with the topography, vegetation; weather and light are taken advantage of. The significance of nature and the art that is housed in the museum from the Americas, Oceania, and Africa can be seen as having resonance in the architecture. Many of the works of art are sacred in their cultures, are made of natural materials and were never intended to be displayed in formal settings. Post modern theme of ‘context’ comes into expression as Jacques Herzog put it: “These objects belong to nature. We wanted to emphasize that”.

In addition to upscale shopping, tourists can participate in special excursions and walking tours of the Miami Design District that include Buena Vista's historic, residential architecture. Some visitors balance recreational exploration with a visit to the acclaimed Heritage Museum, the only United States museum featuring Haitian art exhibits and cultural events. Famous designers like Prada, Cartier and Dior Homme attract famous clients, adding interest for people-watching tourists seated at sidewalk cafes and local eateries. Buena Vista Miami Florida and the Miami Design District are examples of how an area's history can enhance its contemporary purpose. Visiting this corner of Florida's 2nd largest city for exciting celebrity spotting, or bring home a souvenir of a peaceful visit to this bastion of artistic

From my visit to the Carlos museum,I think the ancient people can make art like this is incredible.In each statue , you can see each of the joints, I can tell that the statue very full,which means that will not be too thin nor too fat. Most of the art of this era are mostly made of stone, such as marble, sandstone, and some use things such as gold, silver, and bronze.In contrast to art and culture of ancient times and modern art and culture, I can say now is nothing compared to the ancient art when art, because art technology developed mostly by the machine and then by the manual processing is completed. So the sense of modern art can be infinitely replicated. However, these ancient works of art is unique, each artist is painting for months

Art gallery and art museum are two different types of structure. The major difference between them is that the purpose of the art gallery is to go to discover the artist’s work and with an interest in buying their art. So it's basically a small business to promote and sell art.

According to the research I did on the website before coming to the State Museum of Pennsylvania, ever since it was created in 1905, this museum has both collected and preserved the history of the State of Pennsylvania.(n.d., About Section, para. 1). This peaked my interest on the museum so on Sunday morning my Dad gave me a ride to the State Museum of Pennsylvania. The weather conditions were particularly colder than usual. It felt like ice cubes were rubbing on my skin. I saw a couple of people going inside the building and I followed after them. When I walked into the building the temperature felt warmer than it was outside.

The ramps are separated from the audience by short brick walls. The stage has a beautiful, red curtain. At youth group meetings, there are many different musical instruments on stage ranging from guitar to violin to drums. There are also several microphones as well as a screen used to display lyrics from the sound booth. There are emergency exit doors on both sides of the stage. The sound booth is located in the back of the auditorium, between the two entrance doors. It contains some electronic equipment and a computer that has the lyrics typed up in PowerPoint presentations. The wall behind the sound booth is carpeted. The rest of the back wall is brick. The ceiling is black and quite high above the floor.
