Personal Narrative: The Metropolitan Art Museum

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.

My skills as a patient, independent problem solver who is both confident and knowledgeable in both the Royal Ontario Museum's history and collections will contribute to my success as a volunteer assistant. By working at an overnight camp, I have learned to be patient with children in a variety of situations such as high stress and lack of rest. After babysitting an assortment of clients over the course of three years. I have become an experienced and confident independent problem solver. Being a lifelong member at the Royal Ontario Museum and having attended many ROMkids programs, I am at total ease and have developed a thorough understanding of the ROM layout and the history behind gallery artifacts. My demonstration of patience, problem-solving,

This weekend I went to the Figge Art Museum to celebrate and learn about Dia de los Muertos with my friend Grace. While there, I learned that Day of the Dead is celebrated from October 31st through November 2nd and it originated in Mexico. I saw that you can celebrate Day of the Dead by putting things people liked when they were living, such as a drink, food, flowers, sports jerseys, even a box of cereal, in a shrine for them. Some people paint their faces to look like skulls with pretty or meaningful designs on them in color or in black and white and people decorate sugar skulls that you can eat with frosting. Crafts are also a big part of Day of the Dead. While Grace and I were at the Figge we saw several paper mache statues of skulls doing

For as long as I can remember I have always had the drive and passion to create works of art in many ways, shapes and forms. My creativity and integrity that I share with art is on many levels ranging from 3D work, video game design, physical pieces of artwork as well as digital. I believe that there are very few schools that would not only help challenge my abilities but be able to utilize them in many ways I would've never imagined.

Since I was little, I have been struggling to find the way to my future. I ultimately lost interest in each prospective career I considered. Despite my extensive soul searching, I never seemed to find the perfect fit. That was until we took a trip to a museum that became life changing.

I’ve been on a trip with my friend Lily Wagner to my grandmothers in Arizona, we’re both in this class and so we went to the Tucson Museum of Arts together a few days ago. They have a couple exhibits going at the moment, and some really interesting ones coming soon that I wish I could’ve seen. Currently they have “Horses of the West: Power, Freedom, and Friendship” which I really thought I’d be into since I rode horses up until a bit ago, but as it turns out horse art really isn’t my thing. They also had “Welcome to the American West” which had some lovely paintings and “Of Earth and Sand: Ceramics and Glasswork” which was my personal favorite, but I’ve always loved ceramics and anything to do with glass art.

This semester I attended the Art Institute for the first time. At first, I did not know what to expect, so I was not really exited to attend the Art Institute. When I arrive to the Art Institute as soon as I walked in everything changed. All of the sudden a big smile appeared on my face. Walking around the Art Institute and looking at the different types of exhibits made me realize that this place is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The Art Institute has a variety of art exhibits from European culture to Asian culture, as well as Greek culture. As my friend and I were walking around the Art Institute we decided to enter the Modern Wing area, were they were having a Charles Ray exhibition. The art piece that stood out to me the most

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

Last week I visited the George Caleb Bingham Gallery to see an artist’s work. Her name was Mary Margaret Sandbothe and her collection of art was at the MFA Thesis Exhibition. Now, I am not one for looking at art and being able to interpret it easily, but when I arrived to see her work I was pleasantly surprised. I was in awe of artwork at first glance.

The purpose of this essay is to fully employ all of the new observational skills that I have learned from the start of the semester to now. With that in mind, I was feeling very excited to use these new “abilities” as I was observing art. The San Diego Museum of Art was very interesting indeed, and I have never experienced art in such a way that is sort of hard to describe. The museum had paintings and galleries ranging from the Renaissance era all the way to the eighteenth century and even Impressionism and Post-Impressionism as well. However, my eyes instantly caught Henri Matisse’s painting, Bouquet, this painting had so many details, elements, and meanings as well as similar characteristics from past chapters that I have read this semester.

My observation paper will be about the time I went to Washington, D.C. with my friends. In this trip I saw a lot of important monuments and museums. This was the best vacation of my life because, I meet a lot of people from different states. Nevertheless, this assignment I am going to talk about two places, the Natural History Museum, and the Torpedo Factory.

The Art Center Stage is a magnificent place. Its’ velvet curtains are soft to touch. The stage lights are hot on your face but back stage it is freezing cold for it had once been a garage. The sound director is always blasting the music and trying to blow our ear drums out. The popcorn our director gets from the snack bar is so rich with butter and salt. Before every show we can hear the little kid pre show performance. It is also up to my group to help keep the younger kids quiet. The dressing rooms are so crazy with people putting on costumes and makeup it gets a little annoying. I spend most of my time rehearsing lines in my seat waiting for the show to start. When one of your friends gets off stage and smiles at you when you go on is such

My initial reaction to this assignment was one filled with dread. After taking a trip to the MOMA in my senior year of high school, I realized that art was just not for me. I continue to fail to understand the complex descriptions of what a simple painting, such as random splatters of color on canvas, is supposed to convey. However, after attending the Metropolitan Museum, I realized that it is not art that I do not like, just the genre of modernism. After going through as many exhibits as I could fit into a day, I regretted the fact that I stayed away from art simply because of that one experience.

On Thursday, April 21st I went to the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. At first, I was not overly thrilled about driving all the way to Scottsdale and it seemed like it was going to be a hot day. However, I became more excited about going to the museum because the drive was quicker than I expected it to be since there was not too much traffic. Also, there were some nice clouds in the sky that helped to block the sun a little so it was not too hot. When I got to Old Town Scottsdale, it was not difficult to find the art museum because I parked in one of the three hour anytime parking lots and found a map painted on the ground, which told me exactly where the SMoCA was.

Hullo folks it’s Joe here. I know what you’re thinking , Joe would not be my first choice for a sarcastic british bloke in a pink suit either , but it wasn’t my choice to make ,it was Andy Warhol’s. Anyway let’s get on to the story. It’s about my everyday (or every night) life. You’ll get to meet some of my friends ,enemies ,and frenemies alike.
