Art Museum Report
Last couple weeks ago, I had an opportunity to visit the de Young museum in San Francisco. The fine arts museum was designed by Fong Chan,
Jacques Herzog, and Pierre de Meuron. It is located in the center of an urban park and appears with a natural setting. The museum is the collection of
American arts from Africa, the Pacific, and the Americas. It showcases diverse artworks including paintings, costumes, sculptures from 17th century
through the 21st century. The national works of art are the essential source for cultural study and research. There are so many incredible and artistic
paintings and decorative materials in the museum. But I have come to finalize the three paintings that I will discuss and compare with including Dinner

Grant Wood was born in 1891 and died in 1942. He is one of the most famous artists in Iowa. During theGreat Depression, he traveled to Europe and
became the representative for the Regionalist painting movement. Dinner for Threshers was inspired by Wood's childhood memories of his family's
Iowa farm. The important economic and social event of threshing involved harvesting the winter wheat or oat crop and then separating the kernels of
grain from the stalks. While men and boy worked in the field, women and girls prepared the harvest dinner. Wood's idyllic image contrast with the
harsh realities of farming during the Great Depression, when a prolonged drought led to a rate of farm failure as high as twenty–five percent in parts
of Iowa. Mean while, The Last Supper was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. The painting captured the scene of Jesus is having dinner with twelve
apostles. At this time, Jesus announced to his apostles that one of them will betray him. After that, Christ pointed to the bread and said that "Take,
eat; this is my body," and then he blessed the wine and said "Drink from it all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for
the forgiveness of sins" (Zucker and Harris). In this content, bread and wine are used to transform into the body and blood of Jesus. In addition,
Dinner for Threshers' subject and The Last Supper's are both about having a fine meal with people. Moreover, the two artists apply linear perspective
into the paintings. In The Last Supper, the frontal one–point perspective system draws the viewers' attention to the Christ. The light beams on his head
magnifies the point that he is the most important person on the table. From this point of view, the audience can say that the theme of the painting is art
and spiritual belief. And for Dinner for Threshers, the linear perspective system draws the audience's view to the man that sitting in the middle on the

Descriptive Essay On The Virtual Museum
I toured the virtual Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Though it was not face–to–face, I still really enjoyed my experience through the
virtual word. I was more fascinated about the liveliness in the virtual world than anything else. I think the virtual museum itself was more of a work of
art than the art it displayed because it covered almost every inch from many different points of view in the museum. I also liked how it was pretty easy
to operate and move around, and no matter how much I zoomed in or out I could read almost everything perfectly fine. While being able to explore
this museum from the comfort of my own home was a plus, I truly missed out on being able to read the display labels to learn more about the artifacts.
Reading about the history or story behind a work of art is, in my opinion, the best part. This virtual tour was captivating, and I hope to someday visit
the museum in person." The Smithsonian is known for its realization and absolute beauty shown in the exhibits. Every exhibit of this museum has
great detail and precision. Not only was each exhibit filled with things of its nature, but also had the right colors to make you feel the exhibit. For
example, the vibes flowing from the ocean hall were incredible. The way they accomplished the feel of actually being in the ocean was a surreal
experience to even see through the screen. I also liked the way that everything was pretty close to life scale, like the huge whale hanging from the

Art Museum Visit
Art Museum Visit I stumbled across the artwork "Last Judgement" by Circle of Hieronymus Bosch at Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. I
was shocked when I initially saw this. I first noticed Jesus Christ centered at the top. I immediately knew it was a religious painting, particularly
Christian. To the left of him, I recognized two lines of angels that I inferred were leading a sort of pathway toHeaven. I thought that it was interesting
how that Bosch depicted that scene to being smaller compared to the rest of the artwork. The rest of the artwork depicted a dystopian environment.
This dystopian environment was what I inferred to be Hell. Bosch depicted many horrifying events in the foreground. In the far right corner, you see that

Art Galleries And Art Museums
An institution with the purpose of preserving, protecting and publically displaying collections ranging from various paintings to different artefacts are
museums. Their historical development also led to intellectual evolution and divergence of the public thought on objects that are placed inside.
Today we question the values of seeing those objects; for an example, museum sceptics undermine the value of museums and collections. Nevertheless,
there are several main points that argue against the beliefs of "museum sceptics" and they propose that when seeing objects in a museum we gain value
of praising and preserving the past, preserving cultural heritage and acquire an educational value.
Art galleries and museums are nowadays indispensable institutions mainly in important cities around the world. The Metropolis provides the perfect
social and political environment to develop the civic ritual founded by Art Museums and its now rooted tradition. (Duncan, 1995, p.21) However,
predominant thought that questions seeing objects in a museum is proposed by the "museum sceptics". According to Carrier, museum sceptics state
that art in museums does not survive, meaning it loses its power. Museums de facto fail to preserve the art constituted in old objects that are collected.
This belief also rejects 'time travel' in museums since they argue that it is only an illusion. (Carrier, 2006, pp. 50–51) This is a rather philosophical
approach, but it strongly rejects the claim that old

Art Museum Reflection Paper
Before visiting the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) to observe and analyze the art covered in class, I made sure to read the museum's mission statement.
That way, it would be in my mind as I walked through the halls and moved from gallery to gallery and I could revisit it afterward. According to Seattle
Art Museum's executive summary and strategic plan for 2014–2017, the museum's mission is a simple one: to connect art to life. "Through art, the
Seattle Art Museum enriches lives and engages diverse communities. As the leading visual art institution in the Pacific Northwest, SAM draws on its
global collections, powerful exhibitions, and dynamic programs to provide unique educational resources benefiting the Seattle region, the Pacific
Northwest, and beyond" (Seattle Art Museum). Regarding the fact that I am writing this now and had the opportunity to observe and research many
works of art proves their mission to be successful. Walking into the museum, I noticed that it already appeared to be much bigger on the inside than it
did on the outside. The first two floors were lit mostly by natural light and provided museum visitors access to tickets, information about the museum,
the gift shop, and some food. The remaining floors were dimmer and mostly just the art pieces were given light to eliminate distraction. The American,
Native American, and modern/contemporary art was displayed on the third floor while the African, European, and Mediterranean art was found on the
top floor. The three art pieces that interested me the most were all found on the third floor in mostly the modern and contemporary art section. To, help
uncover the power of detail behind the artwork, I chose three pieces corresponding to abstract and abstract expressionism from artists Jackson Pollock,
Josef Albers, and Eva Hesse to research and truly analyze.
The first powerful example of abstract art and in this case, abstract expressionism, comes from Jackson Pollock. Paul Jackson Pollock was born in
Cody, Wyoming, in 1912, to a family with four other sons. When Pollock was nine years old, his father abandoned the family and returned when only
after Pollock had already moved out of the house. Though his childhood was a fairly rough, he loved nature

Art Museum
When I was younger, I thought museums were boring and dull, filled with pointless, nonsensical art work that people just pretended to understand what
the artists were thinking. I thought people interpreted imaginary meanings from the art that other people just followed and accepted because it was the
"cool" thing to do. This is one of the main reasons I avoided going to museums that were art based. Once I got the opportunity to visit an art–based
museum for myself, I actually enjoyed it. I began to build my admiration and appreciation of art from then on. I have had the opportunity to visit
many museums but this was the first time I visited The Museum of Modern Art. I always saw MoMA related things around New York City but was

I think that is true very often because people are not willing to compromise and listen to the things others have to say. This piece maybe in a
subconscious way reminded me of a current relationship I have and I am kind of going through the same idea of two people not understanding
each other and their spikes being unable to interlock because of the lack of communication. Along with the description given about the piece, it is
said that the male and female form are locked in violent opposition, which somewhat similar to how I currently feel. I was also interested in this
piece because I wanted to know if by rearranging a few things and shifting a few spikes if the male and female would ever be able to interlock with
one another? Could come to an understanding and be able to be together? The end of the story to this sculpture I thought would help me understand
and be able to access my own situation. I love, enjoy, and appreciate how much art can make you think and reflect on yourself and your involvement
and interactions with the world. I was able to reflect on myself and a relationship from a 3D work of art that has been around for decades and has
probably sat in the same spot for years. I think visiting museums and analyzing and assessing art can be beneficial in more ways than people

Museum Of Fine Arts Auden Meaning
The title of this poem translates into "Museum of Fine Arts" which is a museum that after some research, Auden allegedly visited and soon wrote this
poem. I would infer, that the imagery present in the poem are allusions to the artwork that he saw while at the Musee Des Beaux Arts. These works of
art is first alluded to when Auden references "The Old Masters" (2) who are famous painters such as Goya, da Vinci, Raphael, and Tintoretto. These
are famous artists from the 16th–18th century that were highly skilled and created famous works of art. The speaker of the poem praises these
individuals in lines 1–3 for being able to capture the significance of society and life in their artwork. These artists captured and painted images of
mostly biblical...show more content...
Auden describes people who continue with their day and lives without care for event happening nearby. Children are happily oblivious to the world
around them simply enjoying their play and animals live about like animals uncaring to their handlers. Auden describes, and this relates to modern
society, how people go about their business without the notice or care to notice and comprehend those around. Instead, people "[have] somewhere to
get to" (21) "walk dully along" (4) and simply continue about their lives like an important or "disaster" (15) is just another bump in the road. The
paintings individually represent a phrase or allusion in the poem. The "delicate ship that must have seen/ Something amazing, a boy falling out of the
sky/ Had somewhere to go and sailed calmly on" (19–21) depicts The Fall of Icarus and the other two paintings depict similar images of villagers
ignoring the suffering of those around them and the soldiers(?) marching in. Instead, the villagers continue about their lives "eating or opening a
window" (4) and "children [...] [skate] /on a pond at the edge of the wood" (7–8). This is imagery is present in Massacre of the Innocents and The
Census at Bethleham, both alluded to in the poem by

Reflection Paper On Art Of Museum
On Saturday, July 15, 2017, I had a great time to visit Dallas Art of the museum. I observe the much ancient painting, arts, scriptures, and antique
exhibit. I have never seen nor visit the museum in my entire life. Visiting the Dallas Art of museum gives me a different feeling and questioning
myself that how creative and the unique artwork that was. Now, I felt like not only the art human being can interpret the meaning of the life but when
other people do not comprehend the others feeling, the artist reflect this feeling on the art to describe his entire story. I also learn about the art and the
artist name. I saw various types of an exhibit from a different country which has their own value and hidden meaning inside the art. One of the crucial
thing that I learn is creativity. We have seen in our society that some people are very creative and critical thinking but they do not realize that they have
a mental image and power to think about anything and make the art surreal. When someone else detects or point out their creativity, that person feels
gratitude and realize that they also have an invisible power to make a creative thing. Art for Delight – Title: Belle Chambre. Artist: No specific Artist.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, colloquially "the Met", is located in New York City and is the largest art museum in the United States, and among
the most visited art museums in the world. Located on 5th Avenue next to Central Park, this stunning museum contains over 2 million works of art

Sevilla.

Descriptive Art Museum
Visiting an art museum, has always been a great experience for me. The quiet, calming, and comfortable atmosphere makes it even more
enjoyable. For the second time this year, I entered the Baltimore Museum of Art. I knew what exhibition I wanted to look at. It was called "Imagining
Homes". A home is a place, where one is meant to feel secure and comfortable. However, home can also be a place where one may feel fear and be in
danger. So, I was very eager to see what pieces of artwork would be displayed in this exhibition.
As I walked into the exhibition area, the first piece that caught my eye was an oil painting of a girl standing on the balcony of, perhaps, her home, with
her arm on the railing and half her face hidden in her arm. She is probably sleeping, because her eyes, which can barely be seen, look like they are
closed. It looks like the girl was looking down at the streets and the people from the balcony of her apartment in New York City, and she dozed off.
The way the girl is standing and leaning on the railing of the balcony, in her light pink, peach dress, to me symbolizes that she is comfortable in her
home, and feels secure. The colors used in this painting are very attention grabbing. As I looked at the painting, the first thing I saw was the girl–– as
she stands out in the entire painting. This painting reminds me of how I look out my window and just appreciate the comfort and security that my
home has given me, as this is something not everyone is blessed

Art Museum Research Paper
Art gallery and art museum are two different types of structure. The major difference between them is that the purpose of the art gallery is to go to
discover the artist's work and with an interest in buying their art. So it's basically a small business to promote and sell art.

Descriptive Essay About A Art Museum
Art Museum When I went to the museum there were beautiful and amazing art that I really enjoy. My first impression when I walked in was wow
and how they made all this. I also thought who came up with these design. There were many crazy and funny looking designs I really liked. I
enjoyed the one with a big rock in the middle and sand around it. It was really simple but had so much meaning to it. I was pleased on how the
staffs showed us around and treated us. They were interested on how we liked and didn't like the art there. There were so much fancy art there but
one caught my eyes. Which was the picture of the flying babies. They told me the flying babies had the power to heal and to do good in the world.
When the battles came they would sent them after all the soldiers needed help. If I had the power to heal people or myself that's what I would do. I
also got to see the very old coins collections. I got to see a very special thing which was butterflies and moths on the wall. There were probably about
thousand of each butterfly and moths. They were made of metal it was very unique. There was another special room we got to go in which was
called the flashing lights. It was amazing and gorgeous. It was blacked out and it was like a maze in the dark. For a few seconds some lights would
flash on and off which made it awesome. The top three arts that really interested me were the 3D box, the man made out legos and the man on the wall.

Essay On St. Louis Art Museum
Examining the Saint Louis art Museum gave me a new prospective on art and what it does for our society. The art museum is obviously filled with art,
but it's how they present the art that strikes me. From the statue of King Louis IX of France to the building itself shows that there is a lot of history in
and around the museum. The museum is one of the principals of art museums in the country, with paintings, sculptures, and cultural objects from all
over the world. The building is three–story tall and is located in Forest park. It's free to attend the museum because the city pass a bill with subsidy
from the culture tax from Saint Louis and city district. So, the museum was trying to achieve a since of culture coming from Saint Louis region...show

Art show who we are and what we believe in, but what we consider art is a different story. However, I think the Saint Louis Art Museum achieve it's
caused of showing why we need art and not just any art, something that show who we are. But, I think I'll we always have a hard time of getting
other people to understand why art is such an important thing we need. Unless they take the time attend the museum they'll never really understand
why it's needed. I'll have to say I like the location of the art museum, it's in a decent and popular location that is growing. Plus it brings culture to
location, something I've been trying to drive a point in my paper. As well, the museum has been expanding too, with the construction began in 2009
and raised 31.2 million dollars to do so by adding 224,000 square feet of gallery space, including an underground garage. From art to dinning, there
are multiple things to do at the museum. I couldn't say there was much I didn't like except for the fact during some other events that happen around
Forest Park can take a lot of parking spaces, which will make you park pretty far from your

The Metropolitan Museum Of Art Essay
Positioned alongside Central Park within the heart of New York City, The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the largest and most influential art
museums in the world. The Met houses an extensive collection of curated works that spans throughout various time periods and different cultures. The
context of museums, especially one as influential as the Met, inherently predisposes its visitors to a set of understandings that subtly influence how
they interpret and ultimately construct meanings about each individual object within a museum. By analyzing two separate works on exhibit at the Met,
I will pose the argument that museums offer a unique expression of a world view that is dictated through every element of its construction.
An object placed on display behind a glass case inside a museum would hold a vastly different meaning if it were for sale by a street vendor, such as the
individuals who set up their tables only a few feet away from the Met. Brent Plate in Religion, Art, and Visual Culture argues that "objects obtain
different meanings in different locations and historical settings." The different meanings that objects are able to obtain is attributed to the relationships
that are established between the object itself and the environment that it is located in. These relationships often involve the kind of audience that a
museum attracts, where the work is exhibited, and how the exhibit is laid out. Museums subsequently have the ability

Art Museum Project
I like my project about the Art Museum a lot, because it is the first time I go to a museum and I can appreciate the artwork. I have never noticed the
colors, lines, shapes, etc. every time I went to a museum, I was bored and I always tried to see all as fast as I could, but this time was different. I
took my time to observe every piece of art and actually appreciate it. I think that being an artist is also a hard work, not all people have the ability to
relate colors, shapes and textures and not all people have that tremendous imagination to see through the paintings or

Reflective Essay On Art Museum
MFAH CULTURAL RESPONSE ESSAY
The art museum is truly a work of art in itself. I enjoy trips to places of culture, be it a play, musical, opera, art gallery or, in this case, a museum.
When I walk in, I feel inspired to draw, paint, and sculpt. For just a little while, I get to focus on art and experience a sense of detachment from the
everyday hustle and bustle of the world. Time truly seems to slow down when you're at the museum. Upon entering the museum, I felt refreshed and
frankly, smarter. For my Cultural Response Essay, I visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. I visited the museum briefly last semester to view
specific works, but this was the first time that my family and I took our time, really feeling the art and traverse all of the rooms. The last time we
went to the museum, we missed an entire top floor! Fortunately this time, we found our way upstairs and lo and behold if it was not my favorite time
period... Egyptian. At the Egyptian exhibit they had mummies, hieroglyphics, jewelry, pottery and statues of pharaohs. The works I enjoyed the most
came from this floor, so I concentrated my efforts there. I chose the Mummy of a child, The Coffin of Pedi–Osiris, and The falcon–form Coffin with
Grain Mummy to discuss. Mummy of a Child dates from between 30 B.C. to 150 AD. Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death, so they
discovered a detailed and complicated process called mummification. The body of the deceased was bathed repeatedly to both cleanse the body and
the soul. The lungs, liver, stomach, and intestines were preserved and protected in canopic jars for the afterlife. The heart, on the other hand, was kept
intact with the body. This was necessary in order for the deceased to prove goodness in the afterlife. The pictures on the delicate wrappings are
extremely significant as everything represents something in Egyptian culture. The painted wrappings of the child held two green jackals at the top, the
jackals representing Anubis, god of embalming. The color green signifies renewal and rebirth which expresses the hope for immortality of the
departed. The red diamond shape in the middle of the jackals represents the child's heart. The mourning females are the goddesses Isis and

29 December 2014 Art Museum Essay Assignment
Among the many artworks I have seen, I decided to discuss about the "Sarcophagus Depicting a Battle between Soldiers and Amazons (Warrior
Women)" from the Roman civilization. It was built sometime in between 140 A.D. to 170 A.D and is approximately forty and a half inches in length,
ninety–one and a half inches in width, and fifty and a half inches tall in height ("Roman Sarcophagus"). This masterpiece appealed to me because of
the unique approach that has been designed to honor the deceased. Many people are familiar with the formatting and inscriptions of a gravestone
because it is usually engraved with an individual's full name, birth date, and death date. During the Roman Empire, a sarcophagus, which is a coffin,
was widely used to show decorative themes that includes: battle scenes, hunting scenes, weddings, or other memorable episodes from the life of the
deceased individual. The most luxurious ones were made from marble surrounded by symbolic sculptures, figures and inscriptions on all four sides
("Sarcophagus"). Another feature that captured my attention was the large quantity of details used to bring out a lifelike aspect of the deceased
individual's favorable moments in their life. In this artwork, this sarcophagus was dedicated to a Roman commander. The exterior of the sarcophagus
has been well–decorated and carved with exquisite details depicting a battle scene

My Experience At A Museum
I have visited countless museums in my lifetime, and throughout these experiences I have noticed a general pattern in the museum visitors. Often times
they grant only a slight glance at the pieces, and allocate their energy in to taking pictures with the pieces rather than taking the time to learn about the
art. On the contrary, I view museums as a place of learning, where culture is preserved and diversity is celebrated, where creativity is fostered and
exploration is welcomed. My interest in interning at the Smithsonian Institution stems from the idea that museums are a place to gain knowledge.
Through my experience as a docent at the Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College and leading tours for students and adults of various ages, I have
seen the importance of a teaching museum, where the main goal is to educate. There is nothing more rewarding than helping kids learn about the world
through the lens of art, or enlightening a trustee of the College about a work of their interest. The Smithsonian Institution's goal of increasing and
diffusing knowledge parallels my ideal view of what a museum's values should entail. I aspire to intern at the Smithsonian in order to positively
contribute and support the Institution's goals and values, and have a unique learning experience. As a sophomore at Hamilton College, I have had
numerous internship experiences in the past. In the summer of 2016, I interned at the Albany District Attorney's Office. Aside from a deeper

The very first time I ever went to an art museum, I was miserable. I was ten years old, and visiting New York City for the first time, and my father
who has worked tirelessly to raise my siblings and me to have an appreciation for higher culture dragged us to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I cried
within fifteen minutes of being there. All the people made me feel claustrophobic, and I was so set in my misery that I refused to try to enjoy the art.
My mother, with all the patience that mothers are gifted with, took me through the museum. She entertained me with stories of when her and my father
first fell in love in the city; rushed lunch dates in the museum, the halfway point between his job and her school. Gradually, we moved away from the
more heavily populated galleries, and then it happened.

As I grew older I realized that I wanted to give everyone, but especially children, the same access to art that I had been so privileged to have
throughout my childhood. I felt, and still feel, that art serves as a reflection of the culture we live in, and if access to art is limited then the
creation of art will also be stifled, leading to only a select few voices being recognized. If only a few voices are recognized, then a true reflection of
our culture will not be generated. Historically, wealthy white men have dominated the art world, specifically the western art world, and I believe that
because of this bias we have missed out on many important stories from diverse backgrounds. While we cannot change the past, it is never too late to
start working towards a brighter, more inclusive future. The first step towards this vision is by increasing the accessibility of art education to people
from all backgrounds. Art changed my life, and I believe it can change the lives of countless
