Timken Museum Of Art Analysis

Lovett, my art history professor, a true inspiration, opened my eyes to a whole new world of rich ancient history, culture, and expression. From the beginning of time, art was utilized as a medium to tell a story, and ever since, society has turned to different medias of art- sculpture, print, conceptual performance, installations, drawings, oil on canvas, and paintings- to reflect on the current situation and express themselves. For instance, a chaotic era of war reflected in Weary Herakles, a bronze Greek Late Classical sculpture (Peloponnesian wars), the politically rebellious bravado evident in Goya’s Third of May, Romantic prints, or in Delacroix’s Lady Liberty the People, and even the religious power struggle between the Protestants and Catholics, apparent in the exuberance of Giacomo de la Porta’s Il Gesu, a Baroque Catholic church, or in Lucas Cranach’s Allegory of Law and Grace, a Northern Renaissance metal print. My greatest accomplishment in this class was designing an art exhibition featuring works from ancient to modern times, all linked by one common theme, Rebels in the History of Art. The gallery contained revolutionary works such as Giotto’s Arena Chapel, Akhenaton, Nefertiti, and Three Daughters, Manet’s Olympia, Duchamp’s Fountain, Monet’s Saint Lazare Station , Kandisky’s Improvisation 28, and other groundbreaking works. Moreover, the story behind each artwork has motivated me to further explore the art world in college as I intend to not only pursue

The Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden, part of the New Orleans Museum of Art, contains several dozen 20th century and 21st century sculptures from across the globe. The five-acre garden mostly features figures from American and European artists, most of them being created within the past 70 years. Surrounded by the beautiful landscape of City Park, many impressive works are presented at the sculpture garden. However, two particular works that stood out to me were the Venus Victorius and Untitled.

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 writer went to the Leepa-Rattner Museum at Tarpon Springs campus of St. Petersburg College. Before the visit, one went to the museum webpage and read about the museum and current exhibitions. It showed the " East meets West: New Japanese Traditions." Therefore, one was expected to see the Japanese style of art, like dragon and Japanese cherry blossom. At the beginning, one's feeling was perplexed, because the exhibitions were a mismatch with one's thought, but one could find the section for the Japanese art. In addition, this paper will cover about the museum, its artifacts, and relationship between humanities and art.

Before I read this chapter, my understanding of garden is a resting place with flowers and bushes that surrounding by fence. Instead of flowers and bushes, homeless garden is build by largely random materials, such as toys and milk carton. It is not a traditional garden. In additional, it is a place of repose for homeless people or we can say it is temporary home for homeless people. Their home is deliberately constructed because homeless people want to live comfortably. That is why we called it garden.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is a very beautiful, calm, and peaceful museum. My first impression of this museum was that it was a very unique museum because of the paintings and structures. Any museum would have its attractions like the Getty has the train ride and maze garden the LACMA has the Urban lights that everyone from around the world comes to visit. The LACMA has a variety of age groups that come and visit from teenagers to older people. From what I saw most people were dressed casually.

I had the opportunity to visit the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA). It is placed in a wonderful scenario called the City Park, in which the three-story building is surrounded by oak trees and artificial lakes. At the desk, a lady welcomed you in a large hall dominated by a central stair. On each side of the hall, there are rooms with European paintings, in particular Dutch, Flemish, and Italian; in front, instead, there is a large room with photographs. As I finish my visit of the first floor and I moved up towards the second, right in front of me I see a bronze statue by Rodin, who I knew for his famous The Thinker. At the second floor, I can admire American, Spanish, and French painters; in particular, I recognize names such as Picasso,

I chose to write about the art piece by Thomas Moran after going to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. While walking through the buildings I saw a mass of artwork that ranged from gold artifacts to paintings. I have to say that it was a lot to take in but I chose the painting by Thomas Moran called the Stranded Ship on East Hampton Beach. I liked the painting with the raging water crashing on the beach with the stranded ship in the distance. I really like the contrast of the dark waves with the white spray on the beach and white caps on the waves. It seems to tell how dangerous the waves can be but there is a lot of flow. The waves seem to be choppy but big and dangerous but I can feel the sense of movement and the wind blowing. It

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.

With the world gradually becoming more consumed by the ‘media-saturated contemporary culture’, American artist Blair Thurman explores the place art has in the modern world. Located on the second floor of the Oklahoma Museum of Art lies his 370 x 274 x 90 centimeter Honeybadgers installation created in 2009, a sculpture piece constructed with plywood, acrylic, glass, neon, and wire pieces. This exhibition occupies a small, but tall room that is approximately 400 square feet, and is on display until May 1st, 2016. Museums are traditionally the institutions that produces conversations for the audience to speak back to, and Thurman uses this discurvisity to communicate his works. His work appears to relay the idea of conceptual art in that concept

The piece I found interesting at the Orlando museum was the African hunters coat. The coat materials are Fibers, cotton, rope, medicine packets, fetishes, and found objects. The length/ width of it is 215 cm x 114 cm, style used to create this is fon. The hunters coat was found in Nigeria 1940 CE artist is unknown. The charms that cover this hunter’s coat were made as protection. The name of them are called gris-gris they are used as a Voodoo amulet originating in Africa which is believed to protect the wearer from evil or brings luck, and in some West African countries is used as a method of birth control. Although the hunters would not wear the coat during the actual hunt. Instead it was worn in a ceremony beforehand where it gave the hunter

1.Street Art is visual created in public. In many places street art is considered to be illegal but in other places people and government services pay commission for them to express their feeing in the world or anything else.

Upon visiting the San Antonio Museum of Art I found nothing about art extremely interesting and I honestly wasn’t looking forward to spending a majority of my day looking at art pieces. However, as I approached the museum I was in awe of how beautiful the building was. The way it was placed in downtown San Antonio was absolutely astonishing. As I walked through the huge glass doors I knew I was in for a pleasant surprise. I carefully took the time to examine each artwork and read the descriptions of each one. I found it extremely difficult to find just one I liked and surprisingly I disliked a lot more pieces than I thought I would. I ended up having to actually walk through the museum three times in order to find my chosen pieces. I didn’t

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

The Museum of Arts & Sciences (MOAS) is the main and largest art, science and history museum in Central Florida. It is found in a 90-acre nature reserve, which is home to around 30,000 curated objects. It is primarily known as home to one of the biggest American art collection in the Southeast. Other than this, it also has a large collection of Chinese Art at the Schulte Gallery and a collection of Cuban paintings in the Cuban Foundation Museum. The rest of the museum has an eclectic collection of displayed railroad cards, automobiles and a collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia in the Root Family Museum. There is a collection specifically for children at the Linda and Charles Williams Children's Museum, a big state-of-the-art planetarium, and
