ART 199 Karmin Godina May 8, 2013 From His Lens to My Soul Never before had I thought of a photograph as art until I was introduced to a photograph taken by Ansel Adams. I found myself standing in front the framed piece for quite some time enjoying every aspect of the picture. It was his famous photo of Bridalveil Fall at Yosemite National Park. I knew at that moment that I was going to take it home. When I got home I did some research on the internet and found that overall most of his work was done in black and white, and that most of his work was of nature.
Museum Paper Nicolas de los Santos Professor Holmes Art 103 05/19/12 I chose to pick my piece of artwork at the place closed to where I live, so I decided to take a venture to the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. I walked around the museum for about an hour, trying to see every European art piece I could before I chose the exact one that I wanted to right about. I eventually settled on an altarpiece that took up an entire wall at the end of a hallway of the museum. This thing was gigantic. The first thing I thought to myself when I saw the altarpiece was, "Wow, there is a lot going on here."
Paige Threadgill September 28,2012 Autobiographical Incident Six Flags Magic Mountain When I first got into the yellow school bus, I was terrified. Why? It’s because I didn’t know if I should be scared or not. You see, I’ve never been on a roller coaster, well, only one time when I went to the fair in Paso Robles, but that didn’t count for me. When the bus moved, I was saying to my youth pastor that this was my first time going to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA!
For my second and last critique paper, I attended the Douglas Tritthart art exhibit at the Irving Arts Center on May 1st, 2012. Tritthart’s work was just one of the many art works being displayed at the Irving Arts Center. Tritthart’s art was being displayed in a section by itself and Tritthart had placed around 15 plus paintings for his exhibit. The art work was laid up on the two sides of the hallway to separate and make each painting stand out. The hallway had a dim, soft light to it to mix in with the color of the walls and to allow the paintings to stand out more.
The painting I found on “The Metropolitan Museum of Art” named “Madame Georges Charpentier (née Marguérite-Louise Lemonnier, 1848–1904) and Her Children, Georgette-Berthe (1872–1945) and Paul-Émile-Charles (1875–1895)” (Met museum 2012) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. He was a famous French artist and also he was the leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. (Artble2012). This painting is the most representative for his impressionist style. I choose this painting because when the first time I saw this painting I was feel so warm and peace, also from this painting I seems to vision my mother and let me feel at home.
Leigh Montgomery 5/15/12 HA 314 I chose the Brooklyn Museum for my assignment since I had never been there and I was excited to visit. We walked into the American Identities, A New Look, and Making Art: Centennial Era, exhibit and I was surprised, Yes, it is not the Met but as I walked around the gallery I found myself drawn in by many of the paintings. I particularly liked three, one being The Repimand, Ah! You naughty Fawn, You Have Been Eating the Flowers Again, by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, the second In The Mountains, by Winslow Homer, and the third Lake George, 1857, by John William Casilear. The Reprimand.
Joshua Holmgren Art 101 12/03/2012 Art Museum Evaluation When I first learned that I would need to write an evaluation paper for class, I was less than excited. However, after spending the time in the class learning about the different styles of art, their influences and origins, I was able to enjoy my visit to the St. Louis Art Museum much more richly than I ever had in the past. I have always enjoyed visiting the Art Museum. Unfortunately, my lack of knowledge of the subject left me there simply looking at the paintings, sculptures, fabrics and exhibits without being able to see it with a critical eye, or to even truly appreciate what the artist was trying to capture in their piece. In this paper I will be sharing my thoughts
John Steinbeck was considered to be, by many, the greatest American writer of the 20th Century. He was born on February 27, 1902 in California. Steinbeck was considered somewhat of a loner. At the young age of fifteen, Steinbeck started writing short stories that he submitted to a local newspaper using a pen name and no return address. At age 17, Steinbeck graduated from Salinas High School and attended Stanford University.
Attending a live concert you can see their real motive and feelings through each song. Although the venue of the concert wasn’t appealing and didn’t get to experience his whole actual concert, every song that Wiz Khalifa performed was great and you could either get involved or even relate to the song. I attended a concert at the Arizona State Fair in the Coliseum on Friday, October 17. Wiz Khalifa was part of the 2014 Concert Series at the Arizona State Fair. Wiz came from a military family and his first attempt at committing lyrics to paper was around age nine, and at 12 he was already recording and producing his own records in his father's Oklahoma studio.
I learned that this and other tapestries during this time would have been hung on the walls to retain heat. The fact that they could be rolled up and moved to another room was very convenient at that time. This specific tapestry was made at the Gobelins manufactory in Paris, which was apparently one of the best of the day. The artwork on the tapestry was beautiful.
