For my first field trip assignment‚ I decided to go to the Philadelphia Art Museum. Believe it or not‚ this was my first time visiting this museum. By walking through the museum I saw some amazing paintings and sculptors. These artists were truly talented in what they were able to create. It was extremely difficult to choose a single piece of art and categorize it as my favorite. However‚ there were a few sculptors that left a lasting impression on me. The sculptor of the man nailed to a cross

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 game board dates to 2000-1500 C.E. and is from the Levant region in the Near East. The object itself is a stone board with multiple holes carved into the top. 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

“Brooklyn Cop” Critical evaluation Norman MacCaig describes the character of the “Brooklyn cop” a corrupt‚ thuggish American. A policeman is meant to put across trust and is employed to serve and protect the people. Instead the "Gorilla with a nightstick" is insensitive‚ violent and appears to enjoy the murderous nature of his occupation. However despite his brutal nature and rough exterior there is a gentler side to the cop who loves his wife and fears for his life. “Brooklyn Cop”

In “Willy Covari (Brazzaville)” photographer Daniele Tamagni shows a very interesting character in the streets on Brazzaville‚ the capitol city of the Republic of the Congo. Tamagni created a series of images all depicting men in Brazzaville who dress up in eccentric clothes that contrast the grey poverty stricken world they live in. 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.

It shows a tavern scene in which peasants are dancing‚ drinking‚ singing and playing cards. It is a unique example

After circling the museum for an hour‚ bouncing from security guard to security guard (trying to find my way to the baroque sculptures) I was finally able to answer that question. The two examples I chose were "Nessus and Dejanira" from the Baroque period and "Loving Couple" from Eastern India. The reason I chose these two specifically is because they both involved a man and a woman‚ making it more interesting
