In my trip to the San Jose Museum of Art, I got to see many amazing art works. In all of the art pieces, I was fascinated by “Dawnscape” of Louise Nevelson. Dawnscape was created in 1978 with the technique of cast paper pulp.
Dawnscape consists of a total of twenty six squares and rectangles. Each square or rectangle describes a different thing.

Below it is a square that talks about a person wearing a mask. The next square underneath is the screen of a piece of wood being cut by a saw. The last...
