The object that I chose to study is a board for the game of “Pegs and Holes‚” which I found at the Museum of Fine Arts.

The pegs seen in the museum are reproductions of what would have originally been ivory pieces. Played by two people‚ the game’s objective seems to have been for a player to race their pegs through the holes and seize

The photo itself is very aesthetically pleasing. The photo shows a crowded street‚ with decrepit buildings and people in regular every day attire. The man who is the

Over Thanksgiving break I attended The St. Louis Art Museum‚ or SLAM‚ as it is affectionately known by the locals. I focused on the Later European Art‚ especially from the Netherlands‚ because I find it captivating and unique. The first painting I studied was called Peasants Dancing in a Tavern by Adriaen van Ostade. The artwork was done in 1659 in the Netherlands as a genre scene. It shows a tavern scene in which peasants are dancing‚ drinking‚ singing and playing cards. It is a unique example

Difference Between an Art Museum and Art Gallery Both art museums and public galleries present works of art to the public‚ exhibiting a diverse range of art from more well-known artists to emerging artists. They may sound similar‚ but in fact they are used very differently in their representation of art objects.

Timken Art Museum Of the many art museums in San Diego‚ California‚ I decided to visit the Timken Museum. It is located in Balboa Park. My trip to the museum was great.

While being there‚ everyone got to individually look at the pieces of art. It was not a tour like how you usually see in movies. I got to look at each painting for
