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.
Introduction This paper will analyze and compare the Egyptian Standing Figure of Osiris with Egyptian Mummy Coffin of Pedusiri, visual elements of Ancient and Medieval Art and Architecture works from the collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum. By comparing and contrasting these two works, we will be able to see the salient parts of each of them more clearly and can better understand the relationship between their periods, cultures, or artists. This comparison will also reveal how these two cultures view the human anatomy and human spirit in different ways.
Some of the information gathered today we still go under today such hunting, trading, and getting tattoos. This piece of mummy art allows us to expand our knowledge on how the human interacted and live thousands of years ago. However, there are still some questions left to be unanswered. Some questions such as, did he ever live with friends or family during his time or was he alone all the time?

Introduction Metal engravings were common in the sixteenth century, in all probability because in those days, they were the easiest means of rendering multiple copies of an illustration. These engravings were made by using a sharp tool to engrave an image onto a thin metal sheet. The sheet was then smeared with ink and the engravings traced on the sheet to a paper. Creating copies for publication was potentially Theodore De Bry’s idea in engraving John White’s watercolors, which depicted the Native Indian life, in the sixteenth century. However, De Bry was not true to White’s depiction of the Native Indians in creating these engravings.
I decorated the tomb the way I did because I believe that Ramesses the second was the best Pharaoh that ancient Egypt ever had. He believed that all of the people were important to him and that he would bring Egypt back to a better state. Ramesses the second ruled from c1279 to 1212. During this time he used diplomacy to build endless temples and tombs for the people of Egypt to use throughout the rest of eternity. He was allowed into the throne because of his family's military skills.

The artwork “Chevy” by Edwin Landseer is valuable because he was known for his influential painting of dogs in the service of humanity and gave the official name for Newfoundland dogs. In the painting “Chevy”, the dog lies on the “snow covered ground against the snowy covered rocky mountain” in the background of British Isles (DIA). “Landseer 's popularity in Victorian was considerable, and his reputation as an animal painter was unrivalled” (DIA). He appeals to different social status. He’s work was seen in most middle-class homes, but he was also popular with Queen Victoria.
Ancient Egypt was ruled by a person called a Pharaoh. These Pharaohs were like kings and emperors. The Pharaoh in ancient Egypt was the political and religious leader of the people. They were about 170 pharaohs and they ruled from 3150BCE to about 31BCE. Out of 170 pharaohs, they were a few of them who stand out because of their accomplishment.
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.
According to Zohi Hawass’ article on King Tut’s Family Secrets, mummies lead archaeologists and scholars to contradicting feelings about whether they should be studied or not. Inspecting Tutankhamun’s body, artifacts and two fetuses found in the tomb drove archaeologists to pose questions needing answers. CT scan assisted in determining that Tutankhamun was nineteen years old when dying, had a broken leg, and skull’s hole. Moreover, using DNA analysis displayed Tutankhamun’s clubbed foot, missing toe’s bone, and disease’s pathogen. Both CT scan and DNA analysis helped archaeologists discover Tutankhamun’s complex family relationship and how his family sibling marriage led them to suffer from genetic diseases.
