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.

This can create make the objects seem more accessible to the general public. Unfortunately, this means objects are not in temperature controlled cases, which leads to fading paintings and tapestries. The only light in the room comes from the windows as well, which can make it difficult to inspect objects in the late afternoon. Also, there is only one guard to watch the room, and no alarm system for when someone gets too close to an object. This presents issues of the type of clientele for the museum, as the museum would not work with large families with rowdy

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.

On July 22, 2017 I had the pleasure of going to the Sid Richardson museum in downtown Fort Worth, Texas with my sister. The museum was founded in 1982 and features western paintings by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. All of the paintings are from the man the museum was named after, Sid Richardson 's, own personal collection. One of the main reasons I decided to go to the museum was because I had never heard about it before even though I have lived in Fort Worth my whole life and have been to almost all the museums in the area. I also wanted to observe the different kinds of people that would be at the museum and see how they viewed the paintings.
