On December 3rd I visited the Perez Art Museum Miami. Happily overwhelmed by their spacious green areas, I emerged myself into their brand new exhibition: "Form Into Action by Julioa Le Parc. This exhibit opened on November 19, 2016 to delight PAMM's visitors with over 100 art works created by Le Parc between 1959 and 2013. Le Parc, an 88 years old Argentinean based on Paris, is characterized for his use of kinetic art and relief on his art works. "Continuel Mobile” also known as "Sphère Rough"was one of Le Parc's works of art that called visitors attention. "Continuel Mobile - Sphère Rough" is an extremely large sphere (Approximately 5 meters in diameter). It is comprised of hundreds of red semi-translucent 2 dimensional square-shaped pieces, which are strung together by threads. These pieces combine to create the impressive shape of a sphere, …show more content…

Keeping in mind that Le Parc is a kinetic artist, we are reminded that art is a living thing that moves. The term kinetic, defined as “of, relating to, or resulting from motion” really captures that idea that art cannot be appreciated in a snapshot but rather, it must be experienced over a period of time. The overall exhibit contains over 100 art works created by Le Parc between 1959 and 2013, and takes you through a journey. The theme contrasts greatly with the feel of the outside of the museum, which is picturesque, bright and contains outdoor elements. The experience goes from a brighter and well-lit area to a progressively darker and more dynamic atmosphere. This caused me to mentally retract from the “regular world” which was drowned out by an increasing focus on the art pieces themselves as they came to life in the center of my focus. For me, the dynamic and multidimensional nature of kinetic art makes it easier to lose myself in the appreciation of the

When I first had a chance to sit and analyze the sculpture, I began with a clear understanding of what the piece meant and the explicit function it portrayed. However, the longer I viewed the sculpture the more the implicit purpose of the sculpture began to become visible. This final report will entail: the double purpose that the sculpture encompasses, the struggle between the two and my personal reflection on the assignment. The first purpose that will be examined is the explicit purpose of The Family Group that is based on the context of the sculpture, the text on the sculpture and the background of Charles Umlauf.

Thus, visual text in Chicano art is a significant expression that often incorporates signs and symbols from ancient past and contemporary times to portray the history, heritage, memories and visions of Chicano society. Vargas asserts, “Chicano artists were perceived as important activists in official manifestos like El Plan Espiritual de Azatlán, which promoted nationalism, seeing art as the key to organization that transcends all religious, political, class, and economic factions or boundaries” (p. 12). Subsequently, a personal expression of the Chicano experience might have social or emotional impact without engaging in the polemics that accompany political art. For instance, Michigan artist and art teacher José Narezo had voiced his view in art; “I believe that art needs to be pure in the sense that it comes from the emotions within.” For Narezo, Chicano art represented a universal consciousness or humanistic attitude rather than a certain image, style or political allegiance.

We all continue to live in a world surrounded by varyng forms of art, music, painting, literature, and all these are results of creative human activity in which materials are formed to show an idea or a thought of communication. I believe arts are meant to aid in understanding our past, describe the present and predict the future. “The Weather Project” by Olafur Eliasson managed to create an interesting presentation of the weather. The exposition seems to initiate an impressive tension between the city and nature. The room is encircled in natural elements sun, mist, light and by introducing these natural elements Ellison seems to persuade viewers to entirely appear themselve in the space and the exhibition.

I’ve been generally open to all genres of music, so that didn’t much change that, but I’ve been extremely interested in learning how to understand paintings and the intricacies with sculpture, and I believe that some of the ideas presented have helped me to better understand purpose in both a general context and with an individual piece. My facebook post after Scott Stearman’s lecture talks about this, and a couple of people commented as well and pointed out some of the intricacies that they themselves had

“Visual Arts cultivate thinking, innovation and collaboration.” As I write this paper today, I realized how each of us analyse everything in our lives without even meaning to do so. The museum that I decided to visit virtually was the Offizi Gallery in Italy. Located in Florence, this gallery included numerous paintings, sculptures and ceramics. The art piece that I have decided to write an analysis on today is The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli.
