to go to the St. Louis Art Museum. I found this to be the perfect place for me to find a piece to write my paper on. I fought over which piece I should write on as I found several that caught my eye. From Van Gough’s paintings to sculptures by local artist, I finally settled on Max Beckmann’s Large Picture of Women—Fisherwomen. In the piece I was able to analyze the work in terms of form and content, describe, interpret, and evaluate his piece. I found this work of art in St. Louis, Missouri…

The Lakeland art Museum is the focal point of my report, where I enjoyed many paintings, photographs, and sculptures of many artists both renowned and local. Examples of such would be Pablo Picasso, Francisco De Goya, Hung Liu, and many more.

It depicts two work-worn older Chinese woman operating a millstone the image also depicted red kanji, fruit, and…

What is Art Really Worth? A Research Paper Canaletto one of the masters of his time and probably a master of time. His work captured everyone’s eyes when seen. His work if looked at for mere seconds would resemble a photograph. Today his work is highly appraised for his great detail and his ability to capture a moment. This research paper will over view his life and works and will also answer these four questions: 1. How does this piece of art/artifact or its artist deepen the understanding of…

He had items such as a giant spraycanned Campbells chicken noodle soup, as well as many other contemporary art pieces. Over 3,000 people showed up to Thierry’s few week long art…

and just wanted to fit in. I found my place of comfort through art, which enabled me to want to pursue a career in the art field. Art allowed me to break out my shell and gain a confidence that I didn’t know I had. Being an ametuer artist has already allowed me to grow and sculpt a future that is curated just for myself. Confidence is created when someone feels good on the inside and lets the entire world know. When I got a job, it was probably the most excited…

I glanced at the computer, and my mind was filled with a multitude…
