    them. This separated out the components within them- making it easy to measure their percentage value. I found the regular margarine to be made up of 14.5% solids, 64.2% oils, and 21.3% water.

    The National Gallery of Art on Friday, March 30th. I viewed so many stunning works of art, but out of the pieces I had the chance to see that day. The three that caught my eye were Antoine Watteau’s Ceres (Summer) oil on canvas, c. 1717/ 1718, Jean Honoré Fragonard’s Diana and Endymion oil on canvas, c. 1753/1756, and finally François Boucher’s The Bath of Venus, 1751.

    Wedding Portrait or Giovanni Arnolfini and His Bride, Jan van Eyck’s 1434 oil painting on wood panel, is among the most famous paintings in Renaissance art.

    The piece that I chose was Theodore Gericault’s, Raft of Medusa. I find this piece very moving. This picture tells a story in of itself all on its own. To begin, the bodies in the piece are intertwined and slumped over each other. A particular figure seems to be holding another man on the raft. Gericault uses a monochromatic color scheme. Within this color scheme, Theodore incorporates the color of death. Gericault’s use of diagonal lines created a heightened emotional scene. He positioned the…

    It was slow and quiet day by the time I entered tiny museum hidden within a university. Once inside, I felt a sense of usual anxiety hit as students mingle about in a tight space—all eyes on pieces of art from throughout history. Although the rooms were small, there are a diverse variety of art displayed—from paintings to drawings. There was even a wood on fresco piece of Jesus. Then while spectating at the drawings, I saw one that seemed to be ordinary—a woman with a eyes closed and her head…

    The piece that caught my attention at the Tweed Museum was “Small Road”, a traditional oil painting done by Narcisse Diaz de le Pena. Diaz was a French artist who was originally born in Bordeaux; both of his parents were of Spanish descent. (Diaz De La Pena, Narcisse.) However, he was not able to spend much time with them because both died while he was still young; this forced Narcisse to be put into foster care. In his early teen years, his left leg had to be amputated due to an insect or snake…
