Congratulations! You finally explored the Virtual Arts Museum. This place is where unpredicted and astounding art is shown. I encountered something I have never experienced. That something was really examining and acknowledging work of art. I have been around fine art before and have taken a gander at ordinarily and I have delighted in it yet I have never truly sat down with workmanship to separate it and notification the little points of interest that make it so capable. Today I did visiting the paint work of "Birdwatcher" by Arvydas Algminas. I could separate everything and notice the points of interest and by doing this I received a significantly more persuasive involvement in return. This artwork was designed as a figure drawing and oil …show more content…
In any case, the photo gives two or three unique means. A few individuals may say the man in the paint work is a pioneer of a tribe who is somewhat lost on life so he utilizes the feathered creature as direction to discover his direction once more. The feathered creature speaks to quality and on the off chance that he take after this flying creature he will get to be more astute making him the fowl watcher. Others may say the Indian is a seeker for feathered creatures. This winged animal is a well-known interest that the tribes honor. Animals were worshiped as spirits, and despite the fact that they were chased and slaughtered, their skins and stows away were utilized as apparel and drums, their meat was never squandered, and their spirits lived on in the brain of the tribes.
Birdwatcher artwork displayed the Indian as the focal point. The Indian is the attention grabber, he makes viewers curious of what is he thinking and looking at. The man makes you see the bird in the sky. Arvydas used the color orange has the predominant color it enhance the work because orange is displayed as strength and a positive energy. This paintwork is representational Native American culture because it represents actual objects in reality. Viewers can easily identify everything in the picture. The man features and muscles seem so

    Birds of prey like hawks may have been seen as animals bound to mindlessly act for the sole purpose of fulfilling the wills of the gods. Native American animism suggests that hawks were spiritual messengers manifesting in the physical world to guide people to act in a certain way. In the Pacific northwest, First Nations peoples see the eagle, which is similar to the hawk, as a symbol of gracefulness, power, and intellectual ability. The eagle is seen as a wise animal, and its feathers are used in spiritual rituals such as prayer.…

The right side of the painting is also a darker shade than the left. The darker shade symbolizes how the white men looked down upon native americans and just laughed in their faces with no potential of peace but instead taking over their…

    Native Americans have endured disease, colonization, and relocation from their homes. Much of their culture was drastically changed due to mission efforts and government intervention which led to massive acculturation. However, to claim that their culture was buried with their ancestors is a rather ignorant accusation. In other words, it was transformed to fit the view of modern society, but remaining in touch with their roots. To better understand this transformation, I have focused to analyze a painting by Oscar Howe (Native American) titled Rider which creates a unique blend of Native American and Western design.…

    This painting shows me that Native American men are hard workers. Also, it shows me that men are expected to do certain tasks like fishing to provide for the village. I can assume the fish are for the village because the men have more fish in their canoe than they would need to feed themselves. As such, I can assume that fish is a staple in Native American’s diet because they are a plentiful resource. It also shows me that Native Americans are resourceful as they made a canoe from a tree and tools like the nets and spears from other raw materials found in the area around them.…

    1. How do images impact self-esteem? When images are shown to a young Native person, they feel sad and depressed which cause their self-esteem to go down. However, when the images are shown to Westerner individual, their self-esteem goes up, I believe mainly because they have the mentality that they are superior to anyone else, and they believe that the person/people in the image no longer exists in our modern society.…

    The second piece of art that I choose, was when I first walked in to the museum and enter the main gallery / central gallery on the first floor of the Trickster Art Gallery it was display like painting. But, when in fact it was not a panting, but a Buffalo hide stretched out on a wooden frame, as it was traditionally for the hide to be stretched out, and hung on a wooden frame to be displayed in the tribe of the plain Indians. Also, as the buffalo was very important to plain Indians and was key to their survival, main food source, and main use of creating tools. The plain Indians did not waste any part of the buffalo, the plain Indians used every part of the buffalo, for many different kinds of uses. The main use of the Buffalo was to provide…

    In this representational painting by Edward Hicks he brings the viewer’s eye to the major figures in the bottom right hand corner of the painting. The large mass of the animals and a few people all clumped together makes a viewer take a second look. When they do so, they see lots of different animals, not only predatory animals (loins, leopards, bears) but also prey animals (sheep and cow) in very close proximity to one…

    The novel, “The Last of the Mohicans” by James Fennimore Cooper reveals how divided the Indian tribes are. Not only do they speak different languages, they are constantly at war with one another. However, it is interesting to see that these tribes share some common practices and traditions. The warriors practiced scalping, each tribe/individual had animal totems, and the Natives usually had their faces and bodies decorated in paint for various reasons. These shared traditions may not have united the warring tribes, but they served as links binding them to a common cultural heritage.…

    I added a 10 minute interview of Eleanor Roosevelt that I found in the online college library. I think this is a necessary edition to the virtual museum because it helps people better understand someone when you can see and hear them. The interview is very interesting and if you are into politics like me, I think you'll enjoy it. It gives a personality to the accomplishments and actions, which is important when your trying to describe someone.…

    As a collective, the western hemisphere and early Europeans were reluctant to accept the idea that the native, indigenous tribes and cultures of the Americas possessed any form of art. This ideal of false superiority stemmed from the assumption that Native Americans were uncivilized, primal barbarians due to their differential cultural practices and beliefs. Additionally, the colonists had to promote this rhetoric of indians being primitive in order to get rid of the guilt of massacring, raping, and destabilizing multiple tribes and millions of indigenous people. However, the reality is, though their culture and art customs differed vastly from the typical Eurocentric society, Native Americans should be accredited and recognized for their impact…

    It raises the issue of whether or not a particular object needs to be displayed in a museum or if it should instead return to a private collection. After all, how does the meaning behind the work change when an object meant for private viewing is placed in front of the masses? Given the aforementioned points, the Museums in Motion excerpt has provided a thorough background to supplement my Ackland visit, in addition to having raised questions that I should be mindful of as I proceed through the museum. Exploring the individual contribution to the origin of the museum is significant because it helps to descale the museum.…

    I have always had a passion for history and storytelling since I was a child and decided in seventh grade world history class that I wanted to be an archaeologist, discovering ancient cultures and uncovering their secrets. I maintained this plan, arriving at Boston University as an archaeology major but after several semesters of study realized that it wasn’t the exact path for me. I began to grow my appreciation of museums, admiring how they could ignite wonder, curiosity, and learning in myself and others. I realized this was where I felt most at home. Therefore, I decided to change my major to art history, while retaining an archaeology minor, and explore history through the lens of artist’s interpretations and ideas.…
