This is a sculpture that consists of 17 bronze panels, three longhorns, pointed wire, and a Texas star that represent different aspects on the history of the trail. The sculptor Troy Kelley has added his own artist interpretation to this history, and has held to the facts of the trail as well. For me it was a unique piece because it was really tall with many panels, each having different stories to tell. The artist, Troy Kelley is a painter and sculptor in Salado, Texas.
It has outstanding exhibits on the native and post-Columbian history of the state. It begins with the Native American Tribes. It explains the life of a Native American surviving cold, harsh winter and hot humid summers. There are hand on activities including sailing a ship, and walking into a teepee to understand how one lives. Then it leads to the State’s history going into today’s century.
Just seeing it whet my appetite for the museum itself. The Museum 's Wyeth
“Heigh-ho, the merry-o, the cheese stands alone... I know, of course, who I am, who I will always be. I am the cheese.” Said Adam Farmer in Robert Cormier’s “I am the Cheese”. In the story, Adam does not remember his tragic past and undertakes the task of trying to remember it.
We are writing a paper on a field trip to the Caldwell County Historical Museum. I am going to explain what I found at the Museum. When I first thought about the Museum I thought it was going to be like a room with cases of different artifacts and documents. When you arrive you sign this book saying that you have been there When I heard about the Caldwell County Historical Museum, I did not know what to expect. At first I thought it was going to be a room filled with artifacts and documents.
Lining the hallways were pictures and testimonies from survivors. They gave quotes of courage and hope. All of this happened before entering the actual exhibit. The visual aesthetic was beautiful and eerie, all at the same time. Everyone spoke in a concerning, yet welcoming tone, that led us into the first tolerance exhibit.
Visiting museums is always fun for many people, especially when you are a little kid. You get to see all kinds of different historical works done by the people from the past and present. I recently haven’t been to any museums since I was little, until I got to visit one for this course. For this Action Research Project Paper, I visited Dallas Freedman’s Memorial located in Dallas, Texas. Dallas Freedman’s Memorial is one of the most beautiful museums and quite depressing at the same time.
I visited the Arkansas Art Museum on October 20, 2015. The title of the exhibit was called, “Dos Mujeres,” otherwise known in English as Two Women. This artwork was created by Diego Rivera who was from Mexico. This was a piece of art that portrays cubism and was huge; 77 ¾ x 63 ½ to be exact. The painting had one women on the left, sitting down with a book in her and and the other on the right standing up.
I knew that it would be sad but I didn’t realize it would affect me so much. When you enter the museum you walk down some stairs into the main area and in the center there is a room. I walked around the perimeter of the museum first and there are many pieces from the event that you can view and see pictures of. There are remnants from the crash of the towers, from the motor of one of the express elevators to the segment of a radio and television antenna and a first response fire truck that got crushed when the building fells. Not one firefighter in that company survived.
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
Knowing that I am an arts ' enthusiast, she searched for local events pertaining to art and stumbled across tickets to this event on the OMA websites list of attractions. The intended exhibit of the Antiques Vintage and Garden Show was a bit of a snooze and we ended up spending over two hours in the room designated for the Pre-Columbian art works instead, which happened to line up with the time period of the art works studied in this course of Art History. Through my experience at this exhibit it was revealed to me the importance of the natural world in every Mesoamerican cultures form of art. Specifically, this was proven by the fact that the materials utilized were part of each cultures stomping grounds, literally, in reference to clays and ceramics, also by the subjects and scenes depicted in such works revolved around the natural environment at hand, and lastly shown by the value of animal life depicted through their representation and symbolism. As we entered a small, yet brightly lit room we were overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of authentic Mesoamerican art works and
The museum will be fresh, new, and have modern technology, while still preserving the original integrity of the artifacts. It will not only present the history of the Cherokee people, but take the audience on a journey. The entrance
What a wonderful experience I had with my family at the Dallas Museum of Art. We explored the many timeless exhibits and just hearing my children ask question after question and seeing their engagement was an experience that I am hoping to have visiting other art exhibits sooner than later. At first glance of Max Liebermann “At the Swimming Hole (Im Schwimmbad)” I was drawn into the painting by its concept of it being a look into the everyday life of a young boy in the 1870’s. Yet, having to explain to my children what exactly was going on in this picture, that in today’s age would be deemed inappropriate. The conversation with my children and this formal and stylistic analysis at that point went hand-in-hand.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about you visit to the National Guard Memorial Museum. Over the past week I have learned that museums are so much more than what I had originally considered them to be; an institution. I never knew that a zoo, aquarium, or circus is technically considered a museum, wow! I have gathered so far that a museum can exhibit anything of important pertaining to humanity. I have visited many museums over the past 11 years because of my husband’s military career.
These artists featured in the Museum of Modern Art are exploring ideas that are much more personal to them. Personal ideas, feelings, and issues are coming up as a topic of discussion in photography, which hopefully can expand outward, beyond photography so that we don’t overlook and dismiss our own feelings and the feelings of the people around
