Personal Narrative: My Visit To The Daum Museum
Visiting the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art open my eyes to the many different types of art. From paintings to the sculptures and ceramics. There are many different styles and types of art. The beauty of different shapes, colors and materials is amazing. The visit of the Daum made me appreciate the many types of art. Christopher Russel exhibition was very three dimensional. It made you want to touch and feel the different textures. From the snakes in the flowers to the eagle with its wing spread wide. It is a different form of art that you don’t see every day. Usually people think of art as only paintings and not the sculptures that are art. The Recent American Ceramics we very colorful and appealing to me. I like how some were shiny and other were dull flat looking. The use of different paints and …show more content…
It had art work style and the artist we had learned about in class. One work of art that was made with acrylic and gel medium was really appealing. The three dimensional look and feel was cool and was an eye catcher as you walked don’t the stairs to the permanent collection.
The SFCC student exhibit was my favorite. The painting in this exhibit just had me so amazed. I even told my wife if I had the money I would purchase multiple works of art from that exhibit. The colors and blending were really nice and attracted me to them. The paintings were calming to and the ceramics and sculptures were see detailed which got your attention.
My favorite two pieces would have to be Chris Kahler’s Viral A-9 and Lindsay Mills’s Beautiful Confusion. The way the gel and paint looked on the canvas in Chris Kalher’s work of art was really cool. It had my attention as so as I turned to walked down the stairs. It looked like a growing virus. Lindsay Mills’s use of colors and the way they we applied to the canvas was amazing. I told my wife I wanted to buy it and she said no you cannot. Her work of art was the most appealing to me in the whole

    For my visual analysis assignment I chose to go visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It has been an extremely long time since I last visited a museum. I took my twelve year old son with me to explore what the museum had to offer. We found the art to be very interesting, educational and unique. There were so many beautiful pieces throughout the museum that it was difficult trying to decide which one I wanted to base my visual analysis on.…

    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. The museum was divided into different chronological periods so that one could see the evolution of art and the themes that were expressed through them . Also the different cultures represented, including an entire floor dedicated so Asian art , showed the influence and contrasts that the works presented.…

    When taking a trip to the Norton Museum of Art I chose a one dimensioned painting called Adam that was located on the first floor. The artist is Nicholas Carone and was painted in 1956. To the left of the painting, Adam, was another painting named Personage which was painted by Robert Mothewell in 1943. Personage is an abstract oil painting on canvas with multiple different colors. To the right of Adam was a sculpture called Sea Quarry and was created by Theodore Roszak. The sculpture was not an obvious choice that it was a sea animal at first. I had to stand there for a minute and really look at the sculpture to being to see what it was really intended for the sculpture to be. Returning to my original choice, Adam by Nicholas Carone, it is also an oil painting done on canvas. Carone first started with a plane black picture and continued to manipulate it with white paint color and other lines using different thick and thin brushes. The picture was made to represent and recreate light and shadow but is opaque. It uses several different elements of art including color, value, line, shape, and space. “Adam”s composition is curved lines and is known as an Abstract Expressionism type of art.…

    Falling Landscape IV

    The first piece of artwork I've decided to write about is "Falling Landscape IV" by Evon Streetman and was created in 1994. It was roughly the same height as me, and was nearly 4 feet wide. It was a large piece, which was wonderful for exaggerating the features and details. The medium used was cibachrome, which is a positive-to-positive process used to reproduce film transparencies on photographic paper. I think "Falling Landscape IV" was the most beautiful piece in the entire museum, and I enjoyed looking at each detail within it.…

    I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art on April 8th, a beautiful and sunny day. Being around the museum conjured a sense of nostalgia to my middle school days when I took a field trip to the museum. Since that last visit I have gained a better understanding about art and what goes into every piece of work. I have also gained more experience, back then I did not know how to shade properly and did not know a thing about composition. Now, I have a greater appreciation for every stroke of a brush and color applied. The reason I chose the North Carolina Museum of Art was solely to re-experience the art with my new artistic eye. While walking through the museum, I searched for that one piece of art that would catch my eye and inspire me to talk…

    If you live in Dallas, most likely you have been to Northpark Mall. However, did you ever notice that Northpark is also a museum? Sort of. Most art people do not know about it, and the shoppers do not seem to care, but the place is owned by Ray Nasher of Nasher Sculpture Center, and he has placed an impressive percentage of his collection in front of Neiman’s, Barney’s, Victoria’s Secret, and the Watch Hut. For the sole purpose and interest in the art presented throughout the mall, I chose to visit Nasher Sculpture Center located in the Dallas Art District.…

    The news vans from a dozen different television stations were gathered around the massive crowd of people outside of what was once the closed down and abandoned Museum in Coutts. Coutts is a Small town located just above the border into the United States. I saw the reporters interviewing the people looking to get their side of the story as they waited for the event to be underway the grand opening of the museum of native American history. One reporter was interviewing a tall Native American who wore a name tag that said I am Blackfoot on it. The man said to the news reporter “I remember 3 years ago when Mel started this petition to reopen this museum, we all thought he was crazy, he would come around with these little name tags…

    The most impactful aspect of our trip came during our last hours in Memphis. We visited the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Hotel. For those that are not familiar, the Lorraine Hotel is where civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. The hotel and the boarding house across the street have both been transformed into aspects of the museum and I believe that everyone needs to visit these sites. The kiddo was really looking forward to visiting the museums while I was a bit nervous. As a black woman who was reared and lives in the south, I have always been very emotional and passionate about civil rights. As a black woman rearing a 6'2, 220 pound 15 year old in this day and age, I am even more…

    Female Figurines Analysis

    The type of art that stood out the most at least for me was the female figurines. Although the figurines are scandalous since they were crafted with largely emphasized breast, hips, and abdomen, what was most interesting was the theories for the unknown significance. Theories differ, some theories mention the figurines were fetishes, others give significance to them by concluding that back then they believed there was some fertility magic tied to them, but most recently Clive Gamble theorized that the figurines were symbols used as…

    One Saturday morning, my family decided that we were going to head to Downtown Grand Rapids and experience Art Prize for our very first time. This being our first year living in Michigan, we had no idea what to expect. Art Prize is a huge art contest and all of the artwork is spread out around Grand Rapids for people to look at and vote for the one they think is the best. As we walked down the street, we saw many different, unbelieveable pieces of art. Soon, I had lots of favorite pieces, but my overall favorite piece I saw at Art Prize was Leu-enkephalin Flow/Fountain of Tears.…
