Artists use horses as the subject to show the beauty of art; the beauty of horses and the scene of daily life in a specific time also can be shown through artworks. Therefore, the two pieces of artworks I chose that impressed me a lot during my visit to the Museum of Fine Art in Boston…

1 Art Gallery Art that I liked. Untitled by Claudia Alvarado. Claudia Alvarado is an artist from Spain. She is a believer of using art as a means of communication. She thought that women rarely expressed themselves through art which is why she took it upon herself to use art to express her feelings without fear of being judged. In this piece of art, Claudia thought of human form and placed it all in painting. In the picture, there is the woman lying down. From a one-time look, it looks as if…

It was very informative about the artists and gave some background on them. One of the first areas I walked through there was an artist named Yvonne Jacquette, who was born in America.…

Chinese Pottery differs depending on the dynasty it was created in. When I was walking throughout the museum viewing all the different pieces of ceramics two pieces drew my eyes. The two pieces that I have chosen to write about are Bowl with Chrysanthemums and Bowl with children among vines. Both these pieces were done in China but at different points in time. Bowl with Chrysanthemums was done in China during the Ming dynasty which was the late 14th Century. Bowl with children among vines was…

The art piece Metamorphosis by Eliza Au is a complex assortment of seven large white structures on a wall that require keen observational skills to better understand what their function is. Metamorphosis was created in 2017 and uses wood, paper, and ceramic as it’s medium. The base of these structures is a large white circle made of wood. Each circle has 6 points coming off of its wooden frame, which create a sort of star shape on top of the white circles. Within the center of the points, each…
