Rob Murphy Art and Culture Extra Credit My Second Visit to the Met 12/10/11 My second visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art was equally enjoyable as the first. On my first visit‚ I hovered around the American wing and Egyptian wing mainly. On the contrary‚ my second visit consisted of a trip to enjoy the Greek and Roman wing. Wings such as the Egyptian‚ are big enough to re-visit‚ as I was able too. The works I was able to enjoy on my second trip were the “Cleopatra” sculpture‚ and the world

Lewis described art’s worth when he wrote‚ “Art has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which gives value to survival.” I believe that is the real point behind art; to bring a kind of contentment that is logistically unnecessary‚ yet remarkably important.

Formal Art Analysis Hailey Niemi The Starry Night that was done in 1889 is an oil on canvas painting. This is a very famous work of art and a very complex‚ beautiful piece.

It can be read in books and poems. The Untitled painting created by Banksy is an example of juxtaposition in art. In the painting‚ one can see that it is a picture of two children standing on top of a pile of guns. One child is holding a heart shaped balloon and the other is holding a teddy bear.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has one of the finest Asian art collections that has enlightened and strengthened my understanding in my personal art experience. The Museum itself is an artistic architectural structure that graces the entire block on 82nd Street in Manhattan.
