Museums are a place where one can see a collection of rare pieces; it is a house of historical and valuable pieces of history. When I arrived at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum‚ the outside structure of the building was an architectural piece of art in itself. The walls are windows to the outside giving an 180 view bringing the outside in. When I got inside the museum and walked through the hallway of windows to the museum‚ I was taken into another era. The light and airy hallways were replaced

Event Paper One – PAINTING ARTS 1301.002 David Tran October 6‚ 2014 On September 8‚ 2014 I visited the Dallas Art Museum to see a painting titled Mountain Landscape with an Approaching Storm by Claude–Joseph Vernet. This oil on canvas painting was created to show the terror that was associated with the destructive power of nature.

people wore what my kindergartener self would call “painter hats” and ate stinky cheese with long‚ stiff bread. However‚ my myopic and narrow-minded view of other cultures and started to mellow when I took a life-changing trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Looking closely‚ objects described in terms of basic geometric forms become visible: upon a table rests an electric light‚ a book‚ a domino‚ and an adjustable lamp. On the shelf sits a footed glass. The painting

For my museum visit‚ I visited the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. I visited the museum on November seventh with my mom and my younger siblings. The first thing I go to see was their Cinco de Mayo installation. They had all of the elements represented in sand boxes with colored sand depicting images related to the elements on a huge alter. There were cards that you could fill out for a loved one who had passed on to put on the alter. This was one of my favorite part of visiting the museum. After the
