Museum Experience Paper
On February 6, 2016, I visited the Tampa Museum of Arts located in downtown Tampa. Originally I was planning to visit the Dali Museum, however on that day the weather was awful. So, I had to visit a museum that was close by the area where my aunt lives. It was my first time visiting this museum and I wasn’t too eager about going there, however it turned out to be a great experience. The museum wasn’t as entertaining, but the artwork was fascinating and eye-catching. Being able to see the artwork in person allows your imagination to run wild, allowing you to become a part of the artistic world. It gives you the opportunity to admire the real beauty of the artwork because you get to see the exact details and colors of the selected piece. Also, you can make inferences about the art just from the environment that surrounds it. For example, the area where the art is located in the museum or …show more content…
It was like I made a real connection with the sculptor, even though I don’t know the exact message being portrayed. However, I made inferences based on my critical thinking skills, judgements and observation. I would give this sculpture two thumbs up because it seems to be portraying a strong message that’s not only powerful, but positive. This artwork is important because I view it as a form of inspiration. In other words, it opened a path to my creativity, allowing me to see the world in a different perspective. In that world, communication is based solely on the different languages and words which builds our intellect as human beings. Communication is seen as such a powerful tool, allowing human beings to discovery new information and think critically throughout the exchange of words. Also, it stimulated my intelligence by having me to think critically of all the messages that can be portrayed from this single

    As I entered the Norton Simon Museum , the first exhibit I saw was a sketch done by the famous Pop artist Andy Warhol. The drawing was of canned tomatoes by Val Vita , a company that Simon owned, and was commissioned for Simon's birthday by his sister . As I walked through the extensive collection of paintings, drawings , and sculptures, many of the pieces caught my eye.

Also the different cultures represented, including an entire floor dedicated so Asian art , showed the influence and contrasts that the works presented.…

    As I arrived at the Newark Museum of Art, I noticed that the outside of the Museum looked like a house, which gave me the feeling of it being a very welcoming place. It really was, especially the touring guide, who was very nice to our group , and who really seemed very passionate about Art. At first, the inside of the museum looked very small, and that was because the waiting room at the beginning was not as big as I thought it would be, and there was not really much to look at around that area. Shortly after, we started our tour up some stairs, and through the halls, and I noticed some construction going on around the beginning of the tour. Even though it was a little distracting because of the noise, the information that the tour guide was narrating was far more interesting, especially the way she was narrating it, with such excitement and passion in her words. The colorful painting all over the halls, and up and down the stairs really made my imagination, and art critique expand for that hour and half tour.…

    Pablo Picasso once said, “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” This phrase was illogical to me. According to me, the purpose of art was simply decoration. Visiting the El Paso Museum of Art made me realize I was completely wrong. When I entered the building, the anxiety, stress, and pressure a college student carries, all disappeared, like a cloud driven by the wind. Exceptional collections such as the Hal Marcus/Lyric Modern, The Immaculate Conception, and the Renaissance/Baroque and Rococo, were displayed at the museum. Each collection expressed unique feelings, transmitted by pure observation. My soul was momentarily cleaned from the anger and greed of the real world, Picasso was right, I felt at home.…

    After visiting the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, I will write about four art works. The first one is called Salome Receiving the Head of St. John the Baptist by Andrea Solario. The work is very colorful, and it shows chiaroscuro with the dark background and light on the faces of Salome and John the Baptist. The focal point is on John’s head. This is one of Solario’s most notable works, and the figure style is influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci. The story behind the painting is that Herodias had a quarrel with John the Baptist, and would have killed him herself. Instead, her daughter, Salome, danced for Herod and he was so pleased that he said he would give her anything she asked for. She asked for John the Baptist’s head on a platter at her mother’s urging. I believe I was interested in this work because I already knew about the subject matter, but I don’t think you have to know a lot about the art before entering the museum to be interested in it.…

    Visiting the museum, finding at artwork that appealed to me, understating and discussing distinct concepts of various religious has not only increased my knowledge but also prompted me to ask questions and explore even more. At birth, I was told about one religion and how other religions are false. Once I got older, I observed many more religions to understand their nature and mission. This experience helped me see the difference and similarities, broadened my mind, inspired more inquiries I have, and it encouraged me further to discover even more. I am someone who loves to investigate the arts, cultures, and teachings of any religion. Hence, visiting a museum excited my thoughts, and I found an art piece that enthused me to a personal level. Unlike stories and Holy Scriptures, the nature of religious art is a story that provokes the viewer to tell his own version of its…
