The archives at the CHM house many important collections relating to life in the Chicago region that go back as far as 1683. Having used their research center, I have always been impressed at how user-friendly their searchable database is, and how quickly they are able to locate the folders requested…

Furthermore, it means that much, if not most, of the waste is going to landfills from Cornell. Also, I was under whelmed by the lack of equipment they had to heat and…

Museum Visual Analysis The artwork that I chose to write about was a piece that was at the Arlington Museum of Art. The artist and title to this piece are unknown. I chose this particular piece because it was one of the first pieces of art that drew my attention. The colors were so vivid, bright, and full of life.

When I was at the David Owsley Museum I was looking at art pieces that had more of a realistic feel. This piece caught my attention and then I listened to the audio and I really enjoyed the two pieces of art being placed together. There were three things that caught my attention with the music and then I noticed that things we discussed in art connected directly to the ideas from music. The first thing that was intriguing to me was the tone color. Next, the dynamic was interesting and related to…

I have come from a country where we don't have art museums at all. In fact, the people of my country do not give importance to art at all, although if you look at traditional clothes, houses it's full of art yet they do not notice that. This is my first Art class that I am taking so, I believe that I do see art a little bit different than those who had experience in the past. I see arts in many ways. When I used to say to my friends and family that even the pictures we are taking even that…
