Richard Hunt Growing Analysis
The third piece of art work I choose is created by Richard Hunt. The title of the sculpture is called Growing. Richard Hunt made this sculpture in nineteen eighty five. The plaque does not describe the subject of the art work but I think it may be about the trees or nature growing based on the name and the looks of this piece. The medium of this art work is made from welded bronze. The size of the art piece is 83*21*29 in. The location of the art piece is also at Weatherspoon Art Museum which is also located in the court yard of the museum. The sculpture is not a reproduction it is an original. My selection fits into the broader collection because it is a sculpture and it is located in the sculpture garden which is outside of the museum. …show more content…
When I look at the sculpture it makes me feel happy. It reminds me of the beach when I look at it. I believe that this sculpture is beautiful and challenging to the eye. The reason I say this is because to me it looks like elements of the beach but to other people it may look like something totally different. I think the piece was influenced by nature. The artist may have loved the outdoors which could have lead him to creating this art work. The sculpture was also located in the sculpture garden at the museum. I thought throughout the whole visit at the art museum that the sculpture garden was the most enjoyable because I liked the three dimensional shapes and art work better than the two dimensional stuff like the paintings. Even when first walking into the building the ceiling had a sculpture that was in an oval form in it. That was very interesting to see because I have never been in a building that the ceiling had a sculpture in it. Over all the art museum visit was not very interesting to me. I found that I do not like going to art museums at all but I do enjoy most of the three d pieces of art or at least the ones there at that museum were

    The sculpture is located at the FIU Frost Art Museum. The medium used by the artist to create this sculpture was a ceramic tile. The mass of the sculpture is small. The artist created a sculpture in high relief which he then painted and covered in gloss making the visual texture of the sculpture smooth. Some of the formal elements used by the artist were intense hues of blue as the background for the sky . The Airman himself which is the focal point of the sculpture is painted in light shades of beige and intense whites as well as the four airplanes flying above him. The sculpture is not symmetrical the Airman covers most of the sculpture giving the illusion that the airplanes are flying high above him in the sky. This was done using the linear…

    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.…

    The body of the figure is long and oval shaped. The body of the sculpture is the largest part of the figure. The shoulders are rounded and there is a long oval indentation that resembles a neckline for a dress. Where the neckline is exposed, there is a layer that covers the figures breasts and appears to be similar to an undergarment for the dress that the sculpture is wearing. On the right side of the…

    Visiting the Newark Museum was new to me; I have gone to the museum of art in New York, but I never really found any interest in art itself, until now. Because of this Art appreciation class, I was able to criticize some of the paintings hanging on the wall, and the way everything was set up. It was very interesting to see the quality of some of the art work that I passed by. The most wonderful collection of art that I found to be the most interesting one is the African collection.…

    When observing the sculpture in person and up close it puts one into an emotional state. There were varying emotions that were expressed from a personal perspective. For example, the texture and human characteristics a simple marble sculpture had was ‘shocking’. Aside from the marble itself, what I saw was an individual who rewrote history and is solely responsible for the diverse cultural interactions amongst groups…

    This sculpture shows an eagle and a man. The bird is sitting upright on the left hand side of the sculpture and the man is crouching to the right of him. The man is facing the eagle and feeding it from a bowl in his left hand. In the man’s right hand there is a pitcher. The man is wearing a pointed hat with flaps, and he has curly hair. The man appears to be young, around 25. Between the man's right arm and his right thigh is a clock like cloth that drapes behind the man. This man is crouching down and his back and shoulders are hunched over. His right knee is touching the ground and his left foot is flat on the floor making his left knee level with his right hand and the bowl. The man’s eyes are looking at the eagle's eyes, but the eagle is looking into the bowl that he is drinking or eating from. The point of the man’s hat is bent forward in a way that mimics the eagles head. The eagle is shown in hieratic scale, almost as large as the man. The man is crouching down in a servant like position, and is performing…

    The art exhibit was a very nice change from what I have previously done for enrichment. I was able to expose myself to art, which I have never previously done. It was my first time at an art museum, and seeing famous artwork in person. Not only was I fortunate enough to see this exhibition while it was at the Museum of Fine Arts, I was able to see other amazing artwork that was on display from local artists. In all, I was grateful that I chose to do something different for a change and see a small part of the immense amount of art that is out there. I definitely will go down to the Museum again next time there is a major exhibit to expose myself to other forms of…

    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…

It looked as though it was a large stone created and hung by cables, it moved ever so slightly with the breeze, and hung over the sponsors of the Menil. I looked around for information on this piece but didn’t see any.…

    Although this was a very intriguing museum, there were so many different displays and exhibits, it was hard to see everything. I personally didn’t like it as much because I was confused as to how everything in the Newseum was connected together. There were so many features built into the Lincoln Memorial which made it unique, such as the 36 columns representing the 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln's death. On the other hand, the Newseum was packed with many different segments of information on various topics. I prefered the memorials over the museums because they are more concise and focused on one person or an event rather than museums, which I think had an overwhelming amount of…

    Although all the art exhibits were simply amazing the one that stood out the most to be was Where the Fate Leads Us by Brenda Atwood Pinardi and Candance Walters. I feel as if this one caught my eye for a numerous of reasons, one being that it was the most original one there in my opinion. This art was not like the simple oil and pastel painting I was expecting to see; instead it was actual material constructed together to give off a certain message to those who viewed it.…
