The painting I am doing a critique on is called Night Veil. Night Veil was created by Linda Mitchell in 2015. This piece of artwork was located at Northwest Florida State College. This piece of artwork is composed on a wood panel. I have always enjoyed artwork that is composed on pieces of wood. They give off a different type of vibe instead of a painting painted on a regular canvas. On this wood panel is a painting of a deer. This deer looks very peaceful. I enjoy looking at artwork that…

the people who built them. In addition, the natural framework of any work, enhances its majesty, if a piece is Greek it is because speak of Greek culture and the past of the nation, therefore must belong to it, especially thinking that there is a museum on the Acropolis where they will be perfectly maintained and exposed. But in the case of the Parthenon marbles for years the Greeks neglected them and they are part of their heritage. Now the marbles are consolidated in one of the most…

2016) the piece no longer included the International Honor Quilt, consisting of 539 quilts and thousands of patches, as it was donated to Hite Art Institute in Louisville, Kentucky. Further, the acknowledgement panels containing the names of the volunteers are no longer displayed, and the documentary panels were sold to the National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. Finally, the Heritage Panels are also absent, although the remaining pieces of the installation are still located…

at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Although understated at first, this sculpture deals with the taboo practice of abortions regulated in the 1960’s. In this paper I will discuss why this sculpture would make a good contribution to our textbook, specifically chapter 11 “Social Protest/Affirmation” by analyzing its history, providing comparisons, and additional information that will further amplify why this piece should be included. LACMA is a very organized museum with 9 different buildings…

The Keir Collection at the Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas is one of the most mesmerizing exciting art exhibitions I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. This collection of Islamic Art transforms each object in spiritual and cultural symbols. Dr. Sabiha Al Khemir, Senior Advisor for Islamic Art at the museum gathered a variety of textiles, books, metal jewelry, ceramics platters & bowls, paintings and even prints filled with typography. With its own diverse visual language, the Islamic…

For my Spanish cultural event, I went to Metropolitan Museum of Art with my friend Emily during the spring break. It is located in upper Manhattan near central park. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is also known as “The Met.” This Museum have a great quality collections of art in different floors, there is four floors in the museum. However, the third and fourth floor was through reservation so I wasn’t allowed to go there. Even though we got lost since the place was huge we were thrilled to see…

ask. A lot of people are started to fight against the relocation of artifacts, (ex) If an artifact was found in Rome, and it was taken to a U.S Museum. This would first of all, defeat the main purpose of traveling, to see the artifacts that belong to the country/state. In other words artifacts look more natural in its original place, instead of a Museum. Sure, more people will get to look at the artifact and maybe learn more about it, but the point of seeing an artifact is to go the specific…

Once we got passed the crowd of people, walking around the museum wasn’t that bad. I was using the tricks that Sam taught me, so walking around with people near me wasn’t that bad. Each trick involves me using my imagination and thinking that everyone around me was a zombie and I was disguise as a zombie moving through the crowd. The downside was getting into the museum; I thought I was going to have another panic attack. When Lukas and I were walking around the…

culture presented in museums has an origin point. Ironically, it is as a result of individual collections that the monolithic structures of museums (which are aimed at serving the masses) came to be, as explored in the excerpt of Edward P. Alexander, Mary Alexander, and Juilee Decker’s Museums in Motion. The authors do not present a scholarly argument, per say, but they do provide more of a historical overview of how Western museums came to be. Thus, the selection from Museums in Motions acts as…

While venturing the Metropolitan Museum of Art I browsed through many historical pieces of art that helped establish humanity as we know. I discovered a portrait of an emperor while actively looking at the Greek and Roman Art Department. At first glance, I noticed Greek and Roman Art department at the beginning of the museum making it easy to locate. The museum use of space with conjunction to where this gallery was placed can help to recognize the beginning of AD time period. Upon entering…
