MC GALLERY OF WOMEN'S ART
The moment I entered the gallery of Women's Art I really felt something different.. because it was cold, I really liked that temperature because it is very hot outside. Upon entering a smiling guard came to us and lectured us some rules to follow while visiting the gallery. I was really proud of my gender because of the works I saw. All the works are displayed properly and it was obvious that they are well taken care off. Each painting has its own meaning that amuses me, because they were deep and has an interesting message when you put your heart while examining.
There is one work there that caught my eye, It caught my attention because the painting shows a woman wearing a uncommon gown, the Philippine flag. I really like clothing and different styles of it that’s why I chose that painting to be my topic.The painting is titled "Tagapangalaga ng kapuluan" by Jade Navarro Bengco, she used water color on paper as her medium that gives the painting an amazing effect.The painting shows the full appearance of a woman in the center, she has an angelic face. She has wings at her back that is rainbow colored, and wears a flowers crown full of white flowers with green leaves around her head. The red part of her Philippine flag gown has flower details while the blue part that symbolizes peace has island details. The red and blue colors are in her skirt while the sun with eight rays and the three stars are in the upper part of the gown which is in her chest up to waist.She maybe called the "tagapangalaga" because she is an angel and she wears the flag of our country so I had a conclusion that the kapuluan in the title is referring to the country of Philippines.It shows the culture of filipinos that women are also brave, they can guard an island without fears but only strength. It also gives this image of a

    The first art work chosen was a figure by Myron of Athens, Discobolous. The Discobolous, a Discus Thrower, is a Roman marble copy after a bronze original of 450 BCE. A picture of this piece is shown below, figure 1. This piece of art work is simply amazing and exemplifies the Greek sense of harmony and balance (Petronius, 2008). The artist depicted the statutes of that time, a male nude figure, which seems to express freedom of movement and the Greeks idea of beauty. Furthermore, this artwork exemplifies the role of the artist through a representation of human strength and values.…

    Christina’s World is a painting set in 1948 by American painter Andrew Wyeth, and one of the best known paintings from the late 20th century. It illustrates a woman lying on the ground in a treeless, mostly orangey field, looking up at a gray house on the horizon with barns and small sheds across from the house. The young woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson. It is said she suffered from polio (a muscular deterioration) that paralyzed her from the waist down. Wyeth had a summer home close to Christina’s and was inspired to draw the painting after he saw her crawling through the field of her home. The painting’s wasted limbs and pink dress belong to Christina Olson. The youthful head and torso belong to Betsy Wyeth (Andrew Wyeth’s wife) who was then in her mid-20s. Although Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting, she was not the primary ideal.…

    Why is it that staying home to read a book is not at the top of a child’s priority list? Obviously it is because children would much rather be outside playing a game of baseball with friends than staying in to do school work. Children usually do not find school subjects interesting. In school, students learn the necessities that will generally help them get through life. Children typically are more interested in things they learn outside the classroom such as sports, video games or the Internet. What if these interests were brought into the classroom and taught? Gerald Graff, the author of “Hidden Intellectualism” argues that there is more than one way to measure intelligence. This essay significantly considers how Graff’s beliefs on “Hidden Intellectualism” can be related to today’s education system. While I somewhat agree with Graff I find it difficult to completely believe that children should be taught only of topics that interest them for the reason that a student should be well rounded and have a general understanding of the other basic academic skills.…

    At the metropolitan museum, only three perfect of Artist are women, yet 83 percent of the paintings display nude women. Being now aware of this gender imbalance. Surprised me yet regarding the history of women, this imbalance in the museums change the way I view art history and Art galleries. I find this imbalance unfair, if women’s body are very often appreciated by this male artist enough to be painted for the public why aren’t more women given the opportunity to share their artistic abilities with the public as well. The history of nude women art has been very controversial. Feminist have spoken up regarding the controversy, some stated the fact that paintings over time were for the most part geared toward male viewers, and had simply a lot to do with, the selling of art as it did with social roles and sexual stereotypes of men and women (pallock, G pg123). The point being made by pallock, bring back to the point I was making about equality, history of art hasn’t in my opinion been fair to female artist, through the history of art, nude portraits of women got more popular, reinforced through the world of advisement, still with the same goals, to invite the male spectator. The more information about this unfair imbalance in the art industry the more I question the inequality of these acts.’’ Women, compared to men, have not equally been presented in museums of arts, not as artist but as subjects of work of art’’ (guerrilla girls,…

    Depictions of women in art have changed and morphed depending on their cultures and time periods in which they’ve been photographed and painted. The contexts of the artworks vary in their representation of women and change throughout their history accordingly. Sexist stereotypes of women being passive and docile – archetypal to classical art adapt and shift to incredibly provocative of modern and post-modern ideas of perfection of the female within art; the shift having the eyes downcast to having the eyes confront, challenge and stare down the voyeur. Classical, modern and post-modern all have ideologies of perfection within art. The representation of…
