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.
A complete, and well maintained facility is not only visually appealing but is likely to quicker access between origin and destinations for utilitarian trips. In addition completeness of the walking environment is synonymous with safety, such that pedestrian don 't have to maneuver around obstructions putting them at
Is it really about the destination or the journey? The poem, "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein, talk about a place where the sidewalk ends. In the novel, “Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life” by Wendy Mass. There is a letter that Jeremy’s dad leaves in a box but the box is locked and needs 3 keys so Jeremy is on a mission to find the 3 keys.
“wow!” I thought as I stood amazed trying to analyze the significance through each piece of art. Art has always been a form of expression. Although art has been seen as a way of freedom of speech; it did not begin to show up until the 1960’s when their art made by minorities started to be appreciated. MOLAA museum shows an important aspect of U.S. history.
Focusing first on Wilson’s opening piece, it is possible to see how this particular Museum in Maryland, as an institution, is criticized. Wilson, when “mining” the museum in which his exhibition was displayed, found the busts of three prominent American
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum showcases Mrs. Gardner 's collection to the public in greater Boston area. Each room functions as a pilgrimage, as one travels through various countries and time periods ending at the chapel and subsequently the Gothic room. In this paper, I will examine the Gothic room 's theme in relation to the placement of its objects. I will also evaluate the room 's strengths and challenges in serving the public, and how the practices employed in this room fit into the context of accessibility for the entire museum.
Then they know they have to keep on walking to get to their next
As an active performance space, there are many times when the space is not available to museum visitors because of a rehearsal or event being held. As a result, some visitors to the historic site don’t get to see the section of the building that makes it famous. While a smaller scale reproduction in the basement will never replace the experience of entering the actual theatre space, the visual will at least allow for a sense of the grandeur of a theater from this era. While many changes were made over the years to bring the theatre space up to the modern standards of theatrical technology, the replicated space in the museum will be modeled after the theatre Lincoln would have attended. This ensures that even visitors who have the chance to ender the actual theatre get to see something unique as
Once he found the bridge he tried to make sure he would remember the way when he would guide the rest of children to safety, “he had walked back and forth between the bridge not once but twice” (Laskin 161). He could have just gone back forth
Communities of Consensus Research Report The Great Awakening during the Colonial time is an example of Communities of Consensus. During the late 1760s the Puritans and Anglicans represented 40% of the nation 's religion. Ministers tried to promote a single “identity” but were unable to due to the restriction of religious freedom. As evangelists went town after town they found bigger chapels and a huge number of Protestant categories grew.
The silver jewel encrusted Viking- themed vase designed by George Paulding Farnham for Tiffany & Co., especially for the Pan American Exposition of 1901 in Buffalo, New York stands alone in a centrally located glass case in the American Silver Gallery located on the fourth floor of the Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas. Standing only eight inches high, the intricate details of the vase draws the viewers in and keeps them there as the eye runs over the delicate scroll and serpentine patterns of silverwork, colorful enameling and strategically placed garnets and citrines. Engraved, chased, and etched, the interlacing Celtic-like scrolls and knots wrap delicately and symmetrically around the vessel. Serpentine handles flank the widest and uppermost portion of the vase while twin stylized bird head figures frame the rim.
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 Metropolitan Museum of art on 5th Ave in New York, NY has devoted an entire collection to this period. Organized by C.

The exhibition highlights the incredible art and culture that went into making these treasures; that represent much more than just simple finger rings or pretentious accessories.
