Poehler Antique Mall In Empori Unpacking The Object

On display in The Metropolitan Museum is the Chair of Reniseneb, which was constructed in 1450 B.C. in Egypt during the New Kingdom period. The Chair of Reniseneb is a wooden chair veneered with ebony, a heavy dark brown timber, and ivory, a hard creamy white substance. The chair is made up of small pieces of wood that is pieced together almost like a puzzle. Egyptian trees did not grow big or thick, therefore big panels of wood needed to be imported which was very expensive. Thus the Egyptian carpenters became really adapt in inlaid work made from small pieces of variously colored wood or other materials. In Ancient Eygypt, the higher ranked an individual was, the taller was the chair or furniture he sat on. The Chair of Reniseneb belonged to the scribe Renyseneb, therefor the chair sits higher on beaded blocks. The legs of the furniture were often carved in the form of animal legs or the hind parts of some animal such as the lion. Therefore, the foot of the Chair of Reniseneb is shaped as an animal paw and the legs of the chair are shaped similar to an animals leg. Both the legs and the feet are veneered with ebony, a heavy dark brown color. The Egyptians enjoyed having cushions which were often were stuffed with dried leaves or goose down, creating a plush seat. Therefore, the seat of the chair was restored to have a woven seat

As a critic interacting with this “thing” I deduce that it reflects my values and aspirations as a designer because as stated in my ethos, it challenges the viewers to reflect and to act upon them. It allows for individuals to think about what object creates meaning in their lives by seeing examples provided by my work. The Heildberg project was created using artifacts that contributed to the history and value of the city of Detroit. My project also allows for individuals to explore their creativity and encourage a stronger connection of the community.

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.

The artifact I brought is a photograph of my sister and I at the Taquitz Falls, in Palm Springs California. This picture represents a successful hike that brought many tribulations my mom, sister Kailli, and I had to overcome during our adventure into the blazing desert.

This artifact represents a boat that slaves would be transported to the Americas. The boats that would transport slaves were made of wood and had large sails. These large ships played an important role in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade because they could hold many slaves. The drawing on the back of the boat is a diagram of how were the slaves would stay. My boat is made of cardboard and covered in wooden sticks. In addition, there is a sail made of paper, but would normally made of cloth. Boats like this would bring the merchants and colonies money, but would ruin the lives of most

Prior to finishing my final piece I discovered how nostalgia and the recycling of materials is typical in art, especially amongst artists inspired by the past. Research on modern artists such as Doxey, inspired me to paint a chair to accompany my cushions. Further examination on a collection of art movements for example, Classicism, and Neoclassicism influenced my perceptions of art. Further research on the likes of Van Gogh, especially his piece, Dutch, 1853–1890, which inspired me to experiment with gouache, acrylics, and colour palate

In the Article, “Sophia Nuske Ceramics Make You question everyday objects,” the ceramic artist Nuske is discussed and her recent works are introduced. Nuske takes common, everyday objects that most people would not bother focusing their attentions on, and creates jarring replicas that will have viewers stop and stare to take in the odd arrangement. The common objects, such as an ordinary wooden pencil, are altered in appearance by bending them in unnatural shapes and giving them unusual colors. The objects were set up in a gallery, where they were placed in situations that they would normally be found in (e.g. pencils on a desk or similar flat surface). She has won several awards for her work.

I had a hard time figuring out what I thought the subject matter is. There is not a clear representation of the focal point, as there is a lot of things happening in this picture. It seems that it could possibly be the people, the broken chair, or maybe a particular cat. Although, the cats and the male are looking toward the broken chair, and the woman, separately.

The viewer will first notice the solid base shaped like a mother’s apron with two, apron-like tassels extending upward from each side. The base also is reminiscent of a large tree trunk and the texture gives the viewer the impression of a rough and heavy bark, just as a mother has a rough exterior while maintaining a soft interior when dealing with a child. Entangled in one, apron-like tassel, on the right side of the sculpture, the

Surprisingly enough if I did not read the caption on what this was, I literally would have thought that this was some type of ceremonial earn of sorts. It is said to be from the Praenestine era between 350 to 325 B.C. It is the Museum's largest engraved Chester comma it is in a cylinder shape with three figures on the top and it is exquisitely decorated. The detail is captivating. I sat for about fifteen to twenty minutes trying to decipher the artistry and imagine how long it took to engrave something so beautiful thousands of years ago. The vividness of what looks to be tapestry like engraving around the cylinder and on the tops looked effortless. The story I read depicted that of the Trojan War from Homer's Iliad. Friezes (the engravings) as they refer to seemed life like and can be distinguished extremely easily. At the base the cylinder or 3 engraved legs the legs look like the talons of a bird with would seem to be some type of head at the top of the leg. There are decorative chains intertwined addressing the center of the cylinder connected with protruding latches. On the top or two wing it fairies perhaps offering up with seems to be a prisoner as also depicted in the grave Engravings underneath it. Is amazing how something so elaborate was meant to hold human waste witches shows the significance of the piece and still makes it that much

This chair, as hinted, is not the conventional chair intended for the use of sitting. In fact, inscripted on the back of it is the following admonition: “There no man could sit but he should lose himself." Galahad reads this and proclaims, "If I lose myself, I save myself!" and then proceeds to sit in the chair. His daring feat is not followed by the rest of the men who are reluctant to completely “lose themselves” and gain true humility. This results in their inability to experience even an apparition of the grail. Lastly, in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet the audience is apprised of two feuding families: the Capulets and the Montagues. Although it isn’t certain, with the information presented, it is evident that these two households once had a valid reason for brawling. Despite this though, they now just do so purely on the foundation of familial pride. Consequently, all of their clashes ultimately lead to the death of their children, the notorious “star-crossed lovers.”

He is a hyper-realist sculptor working in the United Kingdom. His Untitled (Seated Woman) is made of silicone, acrylic, polyurethane foam, and fabric. It is 25 ¼ X 16 ½ inches. It is located in the Modern Arts Museum of Fort Worth. Nevertheless, in the Untitled (Seated Woman) Mueck utilizes scale to provide the poignant and dramatic effects of an old lady who wears the levy of long life on her face, she is seated with hands clenched, and bent over just a bit. The viewer feels a sense of kinship due to the hyper realistic quality of the sculpture, and the empathy of the viewer gives off a cognizance of belonging as if they could pull up a chair and put their arms around the old lady. Yet, somehow the old lady seems to ignore, but her wrinkles equal wisdom. Nonetheless, this mind boggling piece of artwork has gained international recognition, because it pays homage to the 1999 International Year of the Elderly, and it has raised substantial awareness about the value of the elderly and the contributions that they make to their families and

My item is the mummified hawk.The Museum of Anthropology describes that the remains of the hawk are wrapped in linen, which appears yellowish-brown and in relatively good condition. The size of the artifact isn’t given. The beak of the hawk is protruding from the linen wrappings. It also tells that this mummy came from Egypt sometime during the time period 1550 to 1069 B.C. It was probably made by the ancient Egyptians.

In 2011, Christine Allen opened Vintage937 with one goal in mind: To transform the idea that old and new do not mix. When you walk into their 10,000 square foot showroom, you will be amazed at the amount of quality items on display. If you need home accessories like candles, collectable plates, antique clocks, and more, you will soon realize that your choices are abundant. And if jewelry is what you’re after, then wait until you see their glittering display of necklaces,

This artifact is either a tomb or a temple, made primarily of cut stone. There are stairs leading up to the top, where there would either be an entrance or a place for prayer or sacrifices. The land around the artifact looks to be landscaped.
