Denver Art Museum
Art is portrayed in so many different views. When looking at each piece of art and its cultural background I was interested to see more. I enjoyed each piece of art and the inspiration behind it was even more eye opening to me. There is a historical perspective behind each piece of art and we as people have not taken the time to see how art was started. I have never looked at art in such a serious way until now, being able to see such a wide variety of art and how each piece was created was very skillful in an artistic mind. I have been in an art class before but it was an online class which I was never to found of. Coming into this art class I did not know what to really expect and if anything would really catch my attention, but I can definitely say now that art is not just art it is much more than that and has a powerful meaning all which not only has my teacher shown me but my fellow peers as well.
When first entering the art museum I can say I entered a completely different world. Art is said to be work that is made of skill and imagination and that is what I got as I explored the entire museum. I got the chance to explore each cultural theme from an art perspective some very similar but with different meanings. This made me eager to know who the face was behind it all, what was used to create their masterpiece, and what inspired a unique vision. As I continued to explore I was unsure of what two art pieces I really wanted to focus on because there were just so many to choose from. But I eventually came across two pieces of art that where different cultural and material wise. They were both different and there was one that I completely fell in love with. Both had meaning and you could tell just by looking at them. During my power point I will compare and contrast the two art pieces that I have chosen during my visit to The Denver Art Museum. I will also be telling you about the artists, and the history behind each art piece. I will also go in to detail on

    For my visual analysis assignment I chose to go visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It has been an extremely long time since I last visited a museum. I took my twelve year old son with me to explore what the museum had to offer. We found the art to be very interesting, educational and unique. There were so many beautiful pieces throughout the museum that it was difficult trying to decide which one I wanted to base my visual analysis on.…

    Norton Simon Museum Essay Example

    As I entered the Norton Simon Museum , the first exhibit I saw was a sketch done by the famous Pop artist Andy Warhol. The drawing was of canned tomatoes by Val Vita , a company that Simon owned, and was commissioned for Simon's birthday by his sister . As I walked through the extensive collection of paintings, drawings , and sculptures, many of the pieces caught my eye. The museum was divided into different chronological periods so that one could see the evolution of art and the themes that were expressed through them . Also the different cultures represented, including an entire floor dedicated so Asian art , showed the influence and contrasts that the works presented.…

    Clyfford Still Museum Swot Analysis

    The museum has a massive, unique, collection of art by a very well respected artist that has never been shown anywhere else in the world, this is a great strength of the museum. This also means that most people are totally unfamiliar with the art contained in the museum and don’t have a lot of context as to what the exhibitions entail, which is a weakness. But, these factors create the opportunity for the museum to make a name for itself in the world of art exhibitions, but it hasn't quite achieved the fame it is capable of, yet. The location of the museum can also be viewed in different lights. It is firstly an opportunity in that the campus aspect of the museum area of downtown Denver means that the Clyfford Still Museum will receive more unexpected foot traffic than if it were located away from other museums. This also can be a threat beauce the close proximity of the two museums means that many people mistakenly enter the Clyfford Still Museum confusing it with the Denver Art Museum and ultimately decide not to stay for a visit. The museum has done a good job of putting its strengths out front by creating unique, engaging exhibits, by comparing and contrasting the work of Still with the work of the work of more well known artists who respected him, by advertising its facility as a work of art in its own right and…

    Utah Museum of Fine Arts

    The art exhibit was a very nice change from what I have previously done for enrichment. I was able to expose myself to art, which I have never previously done. It was my first time at an art museum, and seeing famous artwork in person. Not only was I fortunate enough to see this exhibition while it was at the Museum of Fine Arts, I was able to see other amazing artwork that was on display from local artists. In all, I was grateful that I chose to do something different for a change and see a small part of the immense amount of art that is out there. I definitely will go down to the Museum again next time there is a major exhibit to expose myself to other forms of…

    North Carolina Museum Analysis

    I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art on April 8th, a beautiful and sunny day. Being around the museum conjured a sense of nostalgia to my middle school days when I took a field trip to the museum. Since that last visit I have gained a better understanding about art and what goes into every piece of work. I have also gained more experience, back then I did not know how to shade properly and did not know a thing about composition. Now, I have a greater appreciation for every stroke of a brush and color applied. The reason I chose the North Carolina Museum of Art was solely to re-experience the art with my new artistic eye. While walking through the museum, I searched for that one piece of art that would catch my eye and inspire me to talk…

    Dallas Museum of Art

    Though always considered a notch below a world-class institution, the Dallas Museum of Art significantly improved its standing within the art world when it received the undeniably world-class modern and contemporary art collections of three prominent local collectors (the Hoffmans, the Rachofskys, and the Roses); the collections, gifted together in an unprecedented deal, totaled more than 900 works and with subsequent acquisitions has grown since the announcement to more than 1,200. The Edward Larrabee Barnes-designed museum also contains impressive collections of international art, especially from the Americas, Africa, and Asia and the Pacific. The Arts of the Americas section is the largest and most impressive, with valuable contributions from pre-Columbian lost civilizations of the Aztec, Maya, and Nazca peoples and Spanish colonial arts. The more limited European Painting & Sculpture gallery exhibits a handful of works by the biggies -- van Gogh, Monet, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Degas -- while the small 20th-century collection includes Picasso, Mondrian, and Giacometti, among others. The contemporary collection includes works by Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, the Texan Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns. In the Wendy & Emery Reves Collection is a curious re-creation of Coco Chanel's French summer home, complete with her collection of furnishings and paintings by such French Impressionists as Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Degas. The DMA mounts interesting occasional shows, including "Gustav Stickley and American Arts & Crafts Movement?; ?The Mourners: Medieval Tomb Sculptures from the Court of Burgundy", and ?Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs?. In the atrium, where jazz combos play on Thursday evenings, hangs a gorgeous, monumental blown-glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. A couple of hours should be sufficient, unless you're a dedicated art hound.…

    The Life in Times of Bruegel

    Throughout the course of history, innovative people have been subject to rejection in the beginning of their careers, yet later become prominent figures. Pieter Bruegel was a Flemish artist who revolutionize the Northern Renaissance in the 1500’s. He led a life of complexity, especially during the times of religious and political fighting. He made much advancement during his age by painting peasants and landscapes; this was the first time in history in which this had been done. Bruegel’s quiet nature has been described by friends in their writings and is also evident in his artwork. Bruegel’s serene landscapes are a reflection of his character, yet more violent works suggest there is more beneath the surface. Bruegel was thought to be eccentric because he was different, but now he is regarded as one of the superstars of the Renaissance.…
