The 's First Retrospective Exhibition

This painting is done with oil on canvas. The painting itself holds visual texture and substance. The repetition and sorting is well executed. With some other works, subject matter which is so simple can come off as bland and boring. Yet Thiebaud was able to turn something so simple into a beautiful piece of art. Wayne Thiebaud uses heavy pigment and defined shadowing. All while the attention to detail is divine. With the well defines brushstrokes to luscious look of the frosting that coats the pieces of cakes. The color is vivid and imminently captures your eye; with intensity and he uses his shading properly while also using proper proportions as the pieces of pie

The Scarborough Museum is an educational place to visit in Toronto. People can learn about the history of Canadian families living in Canada during the early 1900’s and how they survived throughout the seasons. The Scarborough Museum is situated on a piece of land that once belonged to the Thomson Family. It has houses that had come from other parts of Scarborough. One of the house being the Cornell house. The Cornell house is Victorian style house built in 1858. It has a kitchen, an upper floor, which had bedrooms, a dining area, and a parlor room. In the kitchen, there is a stove which has multiple purposes; for cooking food and for keeping the house warm during the winter time. Learning about the stove was interesting because it shows

The sounds loud, deafening even, as shots rang out. The fighting raged on, over to the left, an explosion went off, knocking a young man off his feet, pain stung his arms, legs, his body, as he fell to the ground, first to his knees then to his hands. His face hit the dirt. The sounds were loud, deafening even, as more shots rang out, and then the sounds were just in the background, a distant memory, the young man faded, but as he did, he did for his country. Before I walked into The Coles Museum, after I left, and during my time there, I had, and still am thinking and pondering greatly on what freedom is, and what it means to me. Freedom is a power, freedom is a privilege, and we have it because of our veterans and those who fight.

De Young Museum located in the heart of Golden Gate Park, the landscape is rectangle. The twist tower is standing in the corner of the building. Adjacent is the pool of enchantment. Overlooking, we can see the white stone paves and green lawns, they formed a sharp contrast, the lines are combined to be a very distinctive form. One of the oval shaped lounges is deliberately split into two parts. It is staggered placement at two sites. It breaks the original space and the formation to be a

The Knoxville Museum of Art presents an exhibition created by the Central High School National Art Honor Society students. The exhibition contained 15 pieces of art created by the students and their teachers, Phyllis Ball and Val Sigmon (Knoxville Museum of Art). The exhibition visually displays awareness of the agony women experience during their slavery. The paintings and statistics students presented were able to form an emotional impact on the audience about the shocking truth in the United States. The students reveal innumerable cases of sex trafficking that have been reported in all 50 U.S. States. Also, that the “average age entering the sex trade in the U.S. is 13 years old”(Knoxville Museum of Art). This ties into violating children’s

Upon, my visit to the Brooklyn Museum on Wednesday October 12, 2016 I chose African Innovations instead of The European Art Exhibit. The country that my artifact originated from is Africa, the country is Nigeria. Nigeria is in West Africa, along the eastern coast of the Gulf of Guinea, and just north of the equator. The borders of modern Nigeria were not created until the British united their colonial power over the area in 1914.

When I toured the Wichita Art Museum, a collection that caught my eye was in the Highlights and Insight section. It is called, Martha Graham Dance Class which is created by Paul Meltsner. My thoughts on this collection is that it bold yet calming to look at. Additionally, Paul Meltsner used deep colors of blues, oranges, reds, and purple, however by using these colors with the characters dancing, his piece is a creation of elegance. Personally, I think this collection stuck out to me because it is an oil on canvas. To add, this art piece stuck out to me because I am a musical person starting from the age of 6 years old, I played the piano so I felt that this creation of ballet was musically drawn to be elegant. Not only does the art express

The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Warhol’s birthplace features his legacy on seven floors of gallery and exhibition space. The museum features an art collection which includes 900 paintings, more than 1,000 prints and 4,000 photographs, an archives collection containing Warhol’s papers and collectibles, and a film & video

Integrated into the Permanent Collection at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Pieter Brueghel the Younger 1620’s painting Return from the Inn, illustrates an outdoor winter scenery of rustic peasant life in early seventeenth century Belgium. Born in 1564 or 1565 in Brussels, Belgium, Pieter Brueghel the Younger was a Flemish painter best known for being the oldest son of the notable sixteenth-century Netherlandish painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder and Mayken Coecke van Aelstv (Artnet, 2016). Following the passing of both of his parents, Brueghel the Younger and his siblings Marie and Jan went to live with their grandmother Mayken Verhulst, a reputable painter of watercolors. It was her who acquainted Brueghel the Younger to painting. Around 1578, the family relocated to Antwerp, Belgium, where Brueghel the Younger settled down and started a family. Also during this time, Brueghel the Younger was practicing painting in the studio of a landscape painter, Gillis van Coninxloo (Artnet, 2016).

An internship at the High Museum in the modern and contemporary department will help me gain experience working with works of art and working in a museum with other people. This will help with my future plans of working in education and research on art, whether that is in a university or museum setting. I want to be able to research art and tell people about my research, or just telling people about famous works of art. Ideally, I would work with both religion and art and how the two have influenced each other throughout history. Working in the modern and contemporary section would assist with this, as there is not always outright religious imagery, but religious themes are still prevalent in these works. I would like to work in a curatorial

Jan van Eyck was active since 1422 and died in 1441. He was the most celebrated painter of the fifteen-century in Europe. One of his famous works is “The Last Judgment”. At first sight this work immediately attracted my attention. The painting’s stunning colors and the fact that it reminded me of a previous similar work I have seen, triggered in my mind. The material that is used is oil on canvas, transferred from wood. The size of this work is 22 1/4 *7 2/3 in. (56.5 * 19.7cm).

The piece of art I chose is in the Norman Art Museum and it truly caught my attention to see the different types of bright colors that the artwork had. Its like three-dimensional object that has a dark hole in the center, which I found it very interesting to my eyes when I saw it for the first time. I am a person that enjoys seeing bright, catching colors; I found this artwork to have different meanings because it seems so simple, but with the splash of different colors that has the direction that the colors were going out of the portrait. They’re complementary colors which I absolutely like seeing. This artwork was huge in size so it was very easy to see and this idea of making it huge is abstracted in its own way.

This was actually my first visit to this museum since I have gone to Kennesaw. My expectations were pretty high initially upon going, because I have heard so many things about it from my peers. Just by their opinions, and my love for art I have myself, I was actually excited about going in to take a look. I must say, I was not disappointed by any of the art work I saw in there. I really enjoyed the exhibit of work from some students from a high school around this area. It really shows that the college really supports the youth of the future and their passion for art as a whole.

The exhibition ‘Feminist Avant-Garde’ is set in the rooms of the Photographers Gallery in London, although it was not conceptualized for this gallery in particular. Over the last 12 years, the exhibition underwent several enlargements and changes, not only due to the several different locations it was shown in but also because the ‘Sammlung Verbund’ kept constantly expanding due to its wide selection of researchers and curators.
