The buildings around the San Francisco Museum of Modern art, are skyscrapers and geometric shaped buildings. The SFMoMa stands out, with its color and design. As looking at the SFMoMa from across the street, the circular structure within the SFMoMa drives they eye to look at it because of how out of place it looks compared to the building itself

While considering spending a holiday or a weekend with the family in a beautiful city, New York City should be at the top of the list. A considerable number of people get puzzled by the tall buildings, well structured highways and the well light streets when they visit for the same time. When planning a tour to New York City, one might wonder how a human being could have possibly built such tall buildings. The virtue that New York City is one of the largest cities in the world makes a person think that it is a paradise. In most cases, it is highly likely that a person who has never been to New York City could easily get lost due to the size of the city. The expansiveness of the city has generated economic gains.

New York City has been called “the greatest city in the world” numerous times by its own people and visitors to the city. New York is civilization’s greatest world within a city. It gives the overpowering impression of being a magnet and mirror for all of humanity and all that humanity does. For a city so young, New York is home to number of architectural classics. Two of these masterpieces of architecture are the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Both continue the metaphor of New York being a world within a world and possess the latent fusion of form and function, one dependent on the other. The Metropolitan Museum is the epitome of neo-Classical style while the Guggenheim is a modernist powerhouse. Each museum serves

As most look out to the city, they focus on the skyline and the way the sun shines bright over the buildings and the rays highlight every edge and curve of them they stand tall, close to perfection. As a child, I felt the same. In fact, I use to spend much of my time constructing my own towers, out of Legos, and the higher they went, the more proud I felt. However, over time I have learned to appreciate the roads and pathways leading to those massive structures just as much. In fact, the moment I anticipate most on those day trips to the city is as I am pulling onto the bridge that connects New Jersey to Manhattan. I love Jersey, it offers a comfort and security that is my past, my home. But there is something so exciting about traveling

Thesis This paper will employ close visual analysis of two Japanese woodblock print pieces from different periods of the 19th century and how they differ in Western ideals. This paper will compare Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa to Ando Hiroshige’s Plum Estate, Kameido by their differing landscapes, colors, and acceptance of Western methods. I chose these two pieces due to both pieces being so different, although they are both woodblock prints. Further, I found it interesting that one piece, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, is known so widely while Plum Estate, Kameido is not.

In his essay "Walking in the City," Michel de Certeau's paints a unique portrait of a city life that can be applied to personal social interactions. One of Certeau's arguments is that leaders and influential people draft rules regulating social interactions and social norms. The hierarchically generated rules serve to maintain an established social order and structure; and these rules perpetuate the ideals and values of the elite and dominant culture. (94-95). To support his claims, Michel de Certeau observes New York City from the height of the Twin Towers. Certeau notes that the city had been planned well, laid out in carefully constructed zones according to a detailed and highly thought out architectural plan. He observes city below him in both topical and geographical structure with attendant features, "...the urban island"¦lifts up the skyscrapers over Wall Street, sinks down at Greenwich, then rises

All over the world, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is one of the best-recognized pieces of art from Japan, created during the Edo period. Though it’s commonly mistaken for a painting, it is a simple woodblock printing illustrated by Katsushika Hokusai. This iconic image is just one of thirty-six prints from his book, “36 Views of Mount Fuji”. (Metropolitan Museum of Art)

In this exhibition, that is featuring works of art drawn from the recent landmark gift to the Museum by the Mary and Jackson Burke Foundation.

's tour-de-force ink painting of plum blossoms in full bloom illuminated by Moonlight. I think this was organized by a theme and

There was a need to rationalize and systematize the visible world. Perspective was used as a basis to experience the city visually. Within the city, distinctions arose between zones of governance and zones of productivity. This phenomenon created a new structure with the city establishing hierarchical relationships between main and secondary streets. Also, a corresponding increase in the number of public buildings, and in their grandeur, expressed itself in an increased monumentality within the city.

Between February 13 and July18, 2015 the Brigham Young University Museum of Art is exhibiting Deco Japan: Shaping Art and Culture, 1920-1945, an exhibition curated by Dr. Kendall Brown. The exhibit was collected in an attempt to detail the cultural transformation that took place in Japan from the Roaring Twenties all the way through the end of World War II. The exhibit displays the tension between the deep national culture and the up and coming cosmopolitan lifestyle. Dr. Brown gathered art of all variations, ranging from paintings to sculptures to ordinary household objects.

The western sun represents the western influence on the infrastructure of Tokyo that is so strong Kikuji feels that he is in a foreign country. Therefore, as Kikuji begins to lose his tradition and recognize the western influences on Japan’s infrastructure, it successfully exposes the shift from tradition to westernization in postwar Japan. Kikuji is not the only individual of the new generation to portray and recognize

This sets the scene, letting you know that you are probably looking at an American city. All around this building are other buildings almost as tall as the center one if it weren't for the tower sitting on top of it. The other buildings all seem to be apartment buildings squeezed quite close together, giving the impression that this is a rather large city. You can see the top of a street light from the point where it starts to bend in the lower right corner.
