art museum
Although the Orlando Art Museum was the last Cultural place I visited it was definitely my favorite. The insane art fixtures and sculptures I saw left me baffled at what I thought art really was. I always saw art as something sort of boring, and I wasn’t all that excited for visiting this art museum. But after this my opinion about art definitely changed completely and I would love to visit more museums like this one.
A lot of paintings and sculptures caught my eye while visiting. The Painting double broken and measured painting by Franklin Evans left my eyes cross-eyed and hurting after analyzing it for twenty minutes! He uses “tromp l’oeil which means fool of the eye. His work explains forms and ideas that considered the cycle of recombination. His painting looked like it was not finished, it looked like it was moving and emerging towards me. I absolutely adored it. The overwhelming feeling it gave me was indescribable. The bright and intense colors were to my fondness. The Glass Mixed Media by Therman Statom was also one of my favorites. It was a display case with items of glass inside. One might wonder if these objects are momentous of a life, a journey, or of a certain place. I only got to visit two more exhibits after the main one because the rest were closed for remodeling. I visited the African Art exhibit which contained things African use daily. It had the clothing, bags, weapons, and even chairs Africans make and decorate to add style into their life.
My favorite in the African exhibit were the clothing. I’m into the bright colors and can imagine myself in Africa wearing clothing like that. The African were really antique with the items they made, they were also very simplistic. The Aztec on the other hand I found to be very creative and had a lot of animal sculptures. They made almost everything out of ceramic and used a lot of serious neutral colors. My favorite ceramic piece was that of A warrior with a trophy head with its arm raised. It

    Something in particular that I loved was the real chapel and windows that Tiffany made. One part of the chapel exhibits this pair of beautiful leaded windows (windows are formed by glass being fitted into flexible lead beams). Since both were part of the chapel they had religious scenes depicted in them. The first is called A Lamentation and the second called Madonna and Child. These windows were different from all the others…

    The museum I choose to go to was the Dora Nelson African American Museum. Dora Nelson was born a slave and was a part of the first black family in Perris, Ca. Perris had no black church. Blacks could attend Congregational Church, but not join. Dora held prayer meetings in her home at F and 7th St. She also organized the first black Baptist church and held prayer meetings in her backyard under a tree Perris, Ca. Dora Nelson African American Art & History Museum (DNAAAHM) exists to collect, preserve and make available, for review and study for present and future generations, artifacts, art printed material, records which document the history of the African American presence and contribution in the Perris Valley.…

    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.…

    First off, something which makes this trip a new and fun experience is the space theater. The space theater is basically like a normal movie theater, but what makes this theater unique from the others is it makes you feel like you're really there, sort of like virtual reality. Secondly, another item that makes this trip enjoyable is the shell finding, where you could uncover unique fossils and stones. I personally thought this was cool since I found many unseen fossils and gems in the game. Thirdly, the most memorable and brilliant place out of the whole museum is the car exhibit. The car exhibit consists of cars from the late '80s to the late '90s, which…

    For my cultural event I decided to go and visit the Orlando Museum of Art. There were a lot of different types of art on display. My favorite exhibits had to be the ones on American landscape and the Tony Robbin exhibit. Those both really captured my attention. I also saw all of the art that the Aztecs created. It’s crazy how people from such a long time ago can create such wonderful art. There was one really cool exhibit by David Isenhour and instead of actual paintings, it was very unique looking sculptures that actually made you stand there and think about them and what the artist was thinking when he created them.…

    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…

    The early humans exhibit was interesting solely because it explained the origin of my culture. It touched upon the first forms of art made with rocks and stones. It also displayed the tools used for hunting, gathering, cultivation, and herding but despite these positive aspects I found it quite boring. The room itself made me sleepy because of the color and as I was taking notes I could not help but want to leave.…

    Within the museum you’re exposed to over 30,000 artifacts and several exhibitions that were primarily set out for individual pieces of African American history. It made me feel like I was taking a closer encounter with history and the importance of the African American culture and life. Every exhibition had its own feel to it, and its own relevance, with each display and individual storyline, made it all the more very special. I think with every exhibition, the intention was to make people feel like they were truly once a part of that time and age. Although, it’s difficult to imagine any more of what lies in the roots of African American history and life, I…

    Bodies: The Exhibition

    There was a body there, that had been divided in half, which was by far, the most amazing sight ever. This body was a skeleton that was basically "sliced like cold cuts." I was able to see through every "slice" of the skeleton. The fact that almost every single body displayed at the exhibit was posing like alive and functioning people made it that much more entertaining to see. As strange as it sounds, it made me personally feel like I was able to relate to them more. These are human remains, after all. There was a skeleton holding a football in a section about "balance and muscle strength." There was also a body sitting at a table, while "turning" a page of a book. Another was laying down, "kicking" a ball as…
