A place in my hometown just around the corner there are two children, one of a little girl grasping information as much as she can and the second a little boy sleeping soundly. The little boy has a book with a plaque in the grasp of his hand facing the front of the statue. Meanwhile, the little girl is barefoot. Even when the blanket of white snow comes in every year they both were placed at the sight in 2012. It's a place I walk by where it used to only have flowers and a blank space to be filled. The place where it was awaiting a sculpture to arrive. Walking around the sculpture at different angles has made it more noticeable that the three dimensional way it looks has a difference at which you see a little change. For example, standing on the right side of the statue the child is sitting on a log reading; meanwhile, her shoes are at the edge right beside her. While if you view the back of the model the little boy is seen with two other books he is holding on tightly. …show more content…
The library has become a place where many come to take pictures when passing by or are around the town getting lost. The statue perfectly fits true to what the town feels like in peacefulness. Although there aren't many art displays in town, it has slowly started to become a change in the city council adding new additions. Vice president JoAnne said,"We wanted to get something special and we thought a piece of art would be nice" as she is involved in the library. (Cashmere Public Record) With the intention to spice up a new change to the view of the library and give it more character since it is a small

    This sculpture stands out and illustrates a message to anyone who sees it or walks by. It was created in a time of decline for Detroit. It was built at the perfect time because this situation prompted its creation to acknowledge that the city may be struggling, yet not lifeless. The statue suggests that people who live here should be proud, excited, and hopeful for the things going on in the city and what the area offers. This symbol is accepted in the area and people who come to the area accept it.…

    Summer-time in the city brought me to different parts of the MTA that I never encountered before. Riding on the A line for the first time, I found myself catching a glimpse of these little fellows as my train pulled into the 14th Street station. Small, whimsical, pudgy (yes, I said pudgy) statuettes depict commonplace figures, such as a grimacing police woman, an officer (guarding a ball of tin foil), a homeless man sleeping under the stairway (the statue was placed there deliberately, I should think) and many more. As I walked by these figures, I found myself thinking back to my high school history class. These figure look a lot like the cartoon newspaper drawings of the late 1800- early 1900s depicting the bankers and politicians…

Tim was a very uplifting speaker who talked about very raw subjects that many of us simply avoid. He spoke about racism, and how it is in-fact not a thing of the past. He talked about LGBTQ groups and other groups we look at as minorities. Tim talked about everything we talk about in Women’s studies but just to a heightened degree.…

    Last October I participated in the Dartmouth Native Fly-In Program and while I was visiting I made a trip to the third floor of the Dartmouth library. I remember this experience quite well because out of all the wonderful memories I made on that trip, this was the one experience that had the greatest impact on me. I remember walking into the library where old, frail books lined the walls with dark, mahogany bookcases stretching high. There were antique lamps on the desks that let off just enough light for one person to study under and floors that creaked loud enough to draw attention to my friends and I. We finally reached the center of the library where I saw a bronze Native American sculpture that I recognized from a museum I have visited many times here in Oklahoma.…

    erected as a public experience, it lacks cultural impact in the aspect of framework design. In contrast to the Oklahoma museum, the Tampa museum has artworks that connect human history from different time period group into sections. The Tampa museum created a whole different life impression about the significance of museums than the Oklahoma museum. From time immemorial, humans have created visual images and these images carry meaning based on their context of creation. Art is appreciated from its shape and content base on the creator of the image, background and motive.…

    Binghamton’s Carnegie Library nestles snugly in the shadows of city hall and the Security Mutual building on Exchange Street. Although no longer in use, the ‘old library’ (as the residents refer to it) stands as a reminder of Andrew Carnegie’s philanthropy, as well as the city’s former glory. The building’s architecture is entirely Classical, utilising Greek and Roman traditions to create an inviting exterior for the city’s library. The library’s Grecian influence is obvious at first glance, as four massive Ionic columns tower above the short flight of steps before the library’s door.…

    Select ONE work of art that has not appeared in the course lectures or tutorials, and discuss it from THREE different methodological perspectives. Different methodological perspectives enable further examination of David with the head of Goliath (1573-1610), painting made by Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610). David with the head of Goliath can be evaluated using biographically-based art history on the life and work of Caravaggio, providing a detailed exposition of the life of the artist, closely linked by his contemporaries to his style and aesthetics. Social constructs are significant in the analysis of the piece, employing Marxist theory in David with the head of Goliath, point out important aspects of the17th…

    The most fascinating thing about art is the difference and diversity between works of art. The drastic uniqueness of arts between periods is something that is interesting to look at because one gets to see how much changes can be made due to cultural influences and time. After visiting the Met and seeing the works of art in person, I have chosen the Statute of Dionysus Leaning On A Female Figure and the Standing Buddha Offering Protection to explore in depth. The Standing Buddha Offering Protection is an Indian sculpture made during the late 5th century. It is only 85.5cm tall and it is constructed out of red sandstone.…
