The National Gallery of Art, a museum that was started with a donation of 8,000 paintings and drawings, is now the home of over 120,000 works of art. The National Gallery of Art was founded by Andrew W. Mellon, who traveled from Pittsburg to Washington to serve as a secretary of the treasury. Because he believed that the United States should have a national museum as great as museums of other nations, Andrew Mellon proposed the idea to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936 and offered his very own artwork and money as funds to construct the museum. This proposal led to the establishment of the National Gallery of Art in 1937 on the National Mall on 4th and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC. After the National Gallery of Art was opened…
From Emeka Ogboh’s soundscape in the African Art Museum to the spectacular Freer Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian museums are wonderful places to explore. So a chance to intern at one is an opportunity that cannot be missed.

Starting in elementary school, I received all A’s with a few B+’s in the mix. But once…

I will also create flashcards for terminology and vocabulary and actively review them to monitor my retention and learning in this course. Do I find this course interesting?…

One of the most waited for events, in an architectural sense, was the completion of Paul Rudolph’s Yale Art and Architecture building in 1963 a postwar American Architectural event. Also known as the A&A it was considered Rudolph’s master piece as it promised to be the solution to solving modernism’s major unsolved problems. As New York Times critic Ada Louise Huxtable said, “it asks and answers some of the major questions facing the art of architecture today, at a time of crisis and transition…

101 is the ability to “work collaboratively with other students” (3). There is no way to prove that a student has this required ability. A student who has no prior experience reviewing classmates would have a hard time reviewing an outline or discussing a classmate’s paper in class. If a project or paper in Fox’s class relies too heavily on this interaction between students, then the level of review and help each student receives will vary based on who they are paired with. For example, before…

The next day after my stratigies for success class I went to the library and looked at my essay and included more details to my outline making sure that I covered everything in my paper and after that I began incubating throughout the entire day. That night I had used my outline and…

then have my peers review and comment on it was a step forward in my writing process. The impact of having a second and third person read and comment on my work made me understand how beneficial the peer review is. The peer reviews clearly identified grammar mistakes, and I learned that I need to pay closer attention to my use of compound sentences and proper punctuation. It was suggested that I should try reading the paper out loud to help self-review and this had a big impact on my ability to…
