The museum I chose to explore was the Lightner Museum located in Saint Augustine, Florida. The reason I chose this art exhibit was to ensure uniqueness and singularity in the works I write about. The first work that caught my attention above all others is known as the Palissy Style Decorative Platter, created by Bernard Palissy. The second work of art I chose to compare with this amazing piece is called the Excelsior, created by William H. Allen. Palissy was known for his incredible and unique…

viewed as a shocking breakthrough, bordering on expressionistic confrontation that remains strikingly relevant now.” This landscape was created on a canvas with oil and vertical orientated. His use of light and color is very different, it makes the art look smooth and soft, creating a beautiful sky and dark rough rock that he stand on. The use of colors and the tone look so perfect. What I love most about this artist is he is known as one of the best in the romanticism time period. It is sad to…

It’s known to be for entertainment and information, but mostly entertainment. In the article, “Confessions of a news junkie who hides the news from his kids,” Barry Gittins discusses the topic of mass media. He asserts that it has misguided children and parents should take action. Gittins depicts how this new generation has opened children to use more technology. He…

“Demolition”, a stilted comedy drama written by Bryan Sipe, was conceived by an extraordinary director and showcased a no less extraordinary cast that includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, and Chris Cooper. Despite these observations, it’s not an extraordinary movie, showing several problems that turn it into an unfortunate stumble in the filmography of the Quebecois Jean-Marc Valleé. The latter, who deserves all my respect for accomplished works such as “C.R.A.Z.Y”, “Café de Fleur”, “Dallas…

The Embarkation of the Pilgrims, by Robert W. Weir, was commissioned and hung in 1843. Like the Baptism of Pocahontas by John Chapman, the time frame around the painting of this scene was while America was experiencing the Second Great Awakening (Keene, Cornell and O'Donnell 2013, 284). Much emphasis was placed on religion during this time to address the negative aspects and moral impurity that had infected society. As such, Weir’s painting is highly religious in theme and provides insight to…

As she said about her work “A lot of what I was wanting to do in my work and what I have been doing…
