    I have chosen the Revolution in Paint exhibit from the North Carolina Museum of Art because the art that was created during the late 18th century introduced the use of impressionism and the drastic change from artworks created and influenced by the Renaissance to those created to express a new and emerging Industrial Era. Looking over the virtual art exhibit the display begins with examples of art created and influenced by the Renaissance followed by examples new pigments, collapsible paint tubes and storage that allowed painters to leave the studio and paint wherever they wished. With substantial information provided on the creation of impressionism during the time period the exhibit ends with a couple of paintings using impressionism to show the overall change in color, technique, and insight of art. Curating pieces and placing them in a chronological order, viewers are able to see the transformation from one style to another with new advancements in the art world due to the Industrial Revolution happening during this time. While I am not the curator myself I believe that the intended audience of the museum are artists and history buffs interested in the creation and production of items that led to the introduction of impressionism.…

    The emergence of utopian communities from the mid-1820’s through the 1840’s was due to increasing industrialization of the United States, where some people saw it necessary to form separate communities because they believed that society was becoming too materialistic and losing their morals. Most utopian societies such as New Harmony, Brook Farm and the Oneida Community eventually failed, as peoples optimistic view of human nature could not be met. New Harmony was founded in 1825 and was based on communism. They believed that everyone was equal and would do the same amount of work for the same reward. The community failed as people did not do their fair share of work as it is human nature for some people to be more motivated than others and for some to let others do the work for…
