On Friday, October 2nd, I visited the Wittliff art collection at Texas State University. I was very excited at how much art I was going to see as I made my way to the 7th floor of the Alkek Library, which is where the Wittliff art collection is located in. Sadly, with all of the artwork that was displayed, I was having trouble deciding on which art pieces to write this critique on. However, two certain 2-D pieces caught my eye. Out of all of the displays in the art collection, I ended up choosing Keith Carter’s photograph and Kate Breakey’s painted photograph.
Station North now is an area that blooms within itself, despite the economic depravity in some areas. Many galleries such as The Metro Gallery, The Crown and Red Emma 's display the growing crowd of millennials transforming the area into what it once was in it’s prime. Though a large part of Station North is budding and thriving, the city still hopes to transform the entire area into that of a true arts district. Station North has truly become the jewel of Baltimore, then and
Here we will find art pieces containing images that we have been experiencing throughout our three-day
Just seeing it whet my appetite for the museum itself. The Museum 's Wyeth
The World’s Fair of 1893 was supposed to be a temporary celebration of Columbus’s discovery of America, while also outdoing the French (Paris hosted the previous World’s Fair). It turned out to be a huge protagonist in the changing of American culture. It allowed Chicago to become “one of the first cities to adopt aspects of the new City Beautiful movement” (Maranzani). Countless

I was very impressed by the paintings that Antoine Ponchin created. He had many paintings of a great variety of places that I have never been to. What essentially made The Roman Ruins so interesting to me was because of how he used a variety of colors and design methods. In addition, he was one of the few painters at the museum who also had a son who continued to make even greater artwork. Finally, I will cherish this visit to the Huntsville Museum of Art, and I will definitely consider making a return visit some day in the near
This place is an art museum plus gift shop. There is also a library featuring satanic books. The museum is not at all appropriate for kids. The contents are rather mature. 6.
At the beginning, we were kind of disappointed when the ticket seller told us that a half of the exhibit was currently closed. Because we did not see anyone come to us as a tour guide, we decided to discover everything here by ourselves and latterly found it very interesting even though it was our first

The Orlando Museum of Art, also known as OMA, is a hub of Central Florida when it comes to pulling in remarkable works of art for the public eye to pay patronage to. Today I visited such a place for the annual Antiques Vintage and Garden Show, which took place between February 19th through the 21st. Included in the price of a ticket was also admission to The OMA’s current exhibitions, which included Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers and their other running exhibits, which contained an array of work, ranging from Pre-Columbian sculptures to more contemporary works of the 21st century. The specific exhibit which held my interest most was the Pre-Columbian, Mesoamerican gallery titled “A Trek from North to South”, which was organized by geographic locations in Latin America. Since my girlfriend, Illiana, bought me tickets to the show for a
On our field trip to the Getty villa this semester, we had to choose an art piece that stood out to us among the many there. The task at hand seemed easier than it was, as there were many art pieces that held my attention. One thing I kept in mind was that many of the Greek art pieces were either recovered from the bottom of the sea or were Roman duplicates. This meant finding background and details about them would be challenging. Of the art pieces, the Statue of Hercules or the “Lansdowne Herakles” was the one that I chose to write about.
The calm after the storm In the summer of 1999, I was assigned to attend Airborne school at Fort Benning, GA. Contrary to popular belief, Airborne school does not teach you how to jump out of airplanes. Anyone can jump out of an airplane with the proper motivation. Airborne school teaches you how to land without perishing, that requires a little more finesse and training.
My favorite DC restaurant—actually scratch that…my favorite restaurant EVER—has to be The Tombs and one of my favorite things to do in the summer is to go down to the waterfront in the evening with my friends, enjoying the weather, food, and atmosphere. Many have asked me, “Why is Georgetown your top choice?” “Isn’t it too close to home?” “Aren’t you sick of it?” “Don’t you want to get away from D.C.?”
