Recommended: The museum experience

I picked the Dallas Museum of Art because of their wide variety of different artwork. I loved the Museums vast collections of Modern art that I’ve really gotten into lately. Plus, this Museum brings different ideas and new cultures of different works of art that I’ve never really had the pleasure of experiencing. My time at the Dallas Museum of Art, was better than ever I got to spend it with my fiancée experiencing something beautiful, it was so exciting. The museum was very big and there was not enough time in one day to get to everything. You need real time to get the most out of the museums. That’s why we plan to go back soon to finish going through everything and next time we are bringing are nieces and nephews. We had so much fun with the arts and craft area of the museum you saw so many adults, even getting into the pure fun of it all.
This wasn’t my first visit to a museum my actual first museum I’ve ever been to was the Museum of the Gulf Coast. It had real historic artifacts from Janice Lyn Joplin, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jamaal Charles it was very nice. I had such a nice experience there I ended up working there for a year and a half. This was my first time in the Dallas Museum of Art which I plan to visit again soon. The feel of the museum was so welcoming to the people that come so far to see it and it was intimidating because it was so massive. Overwhelming because you wanted to get to all of it in one-day, but it was possible, an amazingly beautiful just to experience it all. There was just so much to take away from this particular museum experience. The Security was at a very high rate, but it was so bad to where you could stand there or feel uncomfortable of them watching you. You know their job is to make sure n...

...oint of contact with the ground. I never saw that in the painting as much as I wanted to see it I just couldn’t.
Taking this Art Appreciation class with such an amazing teacher made me look at art more broadly. So my experience through the museum the exhibits gave me an understanding of a culture that I didn’t know much about before. I have learned why artist makes art to create places for human purpose. To create extraordinary versions of the commonly seen and to commemorate moments in life that sometimes a picture just can’t capture. Art work also gives a tangible form of the unknown to feelings and ideas you never knew you could have. Artworks help to show us a vision and help us see the world in new ways. Now, because of this class I really look for content in artwork, and its subject matter as interpreted. I love to look for the message behind a work of art

    I never go anywhere alone. After a depressive Saturday morning I finally crawled out of bed and went to the Cummer Museum. Art is one thing that I don’t understand. How people can find deeper meanings from paint on a canvas is Japanese to me. When I look at a painting I see exactly what is being shown and nothing more. There is no deeper meaning evident. Being at this museum cranky and solo trying to find a picture I felt connected to was almost impossible. It took me about ten minutes to go through the whole museum. But in one of the last sections I went in there was finally something that my eyes were drawn to. An image that made me want to find the deeper meaning. Thomas Hart Benton’s June Morning.

    People can have many different opinions depending on a topic, but what is truly difficult is getting a complete level of understanding from every opinion, or understanding the point of view of each opinion. Even accepting the points of view can be difficult for some people, who believe that their opinions are right. Luckily, people can learn about the other person’s frame of reference, and at the very least understand the topic or the person a little better. This particular topic is art, which is known for its multiple possible perceptions or its many different messages that it can send a person or group of people. In this way, people can learn more about the thought processes and feelings of others. Unfortunately, with differing opinions,

    The Columbus Museum of Art is a place rich in local history. A place where items of historical and artistic value are stored for safekeeping and allow access for public viewing. The museum has several locally named galleries. It also has a cute children’s area, complete with artwork from little local artists from several schools in the area. The children’s area has several pieces of art that children may touch, like Chicken George. I remember touching that chicken when I would visit as a child.

    My first experience at the museum was a good one. I had so much fun even after we were done with the Norton-Simon. Being a business major, I did not know that art could speak to me as it did. It has not influenced me so much as to change my major, but it did open my eyes to a whole new world. Now when I look at art, I do not just see a pretty picture, but what the artist is actually trying to say.

    The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East. This exhibit was an important part of the history of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because for the first time, Italian, Spanish, and Northern European paintings from the John G. Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea of what the paintings were like in these four centuries and reflected ideas of both the east and the west.

The structure and architecture was really beautiful. As I was looking for the pieces of works that I had find information about. I was attracted by other gorgeous paintings as well.

  • Orlando Museum Visit

    For the first cultural event, I decided to visit the Orlando Museum of Art. Personally, I had never been to an art museum until now so I wasn’t sure what the art would like. I never had an interest to go to an art museum or an interest for art in general because it is very uninteresting in my opinion. I felt like I didn’t belong in the art world. I felt like art was meant for intelligent individuals who understood complex art and the intentions behind a piece of art. Even if I tried to understand art, I was always very critical of it because I never understood what makes art “art” and why it is so important to others. By touring the Orlando Museum of Art, I was hoping to gain a deeper appreciation and understanding for art.

    I truly enjoyed this museum trip with my family! My first impression as I got out of the parking lot was the massiveness of that place. When I looked around, I saw nothing but huge mountains covered in yellow grass and an eagle flying circles in the sky. The location of this museum was a great choice and definitely attracts many people. As I walked towards the main entrance, I saw an opened huge gate with the fountain and titanic boat inside. I immediately ran inside to take lots of pictures. Then, I walked inside of the museum to purchase the tickets for my family and I.

  • The Benefits of Funding the Arts

    In today’s society anything can be considered “Art”. From the great sounds of a symphony, to the architecture of a modern structure, or even an elephant painting with its trunk, art is what the viewer perceives it to be. Individuals will always agree or disagree with the message behind a certain piece of art, as pieces can be offensive to some, but beautiful to others. Some argue that funding the arts in school is a waste of money, time, or a combination of both, but the benefits outweigh the negatives by far, due to a variety of reasons.

    I was lucky enough to visit the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in November of last year. The museum was located in somewhat of a museum park. The Rijks museum and the Stedelijk Museum are located on the same block. A beautiful landscape of ponds and trees are centered around them. The Van Gogh Museum has an audio tour available in all languages via a handheld tour guide. Unfortunately, funds limited me to get the audio tour, but I was able to nonchalantly follow a British couple around most of the five floors. The museum chronologically directes you through a collection of Van Gogh's and his contemporery's works.

  • My Museum Visit Report

    When first arriving at the museum it was an old styled, rustic, building that was not very modern, which I think fits into the theme of the museum. The outside of the building had history, similar to how the inside of museum is filled with a history. There was also an impressive statue of former president Theodore Roosevelt. I thought it was an interesting display, but Theodore Roosevelt was an advocate for the preservation of national parks and the conservation of animals, moreover, I thought it was a great tribute to him. I think the outside of the museum shows how rich the history of the world is and there is so much to learn. The past has been polished for the people of the present to understand and admire. Overall, I felt every exhibit was easy to understand and not intimidating; subsequently, it was easy for children and adults to look at.

  • The Role of Art in My Life

    The arts have influenced my life in amazing ways. Throughout my life, art has been the place I run to and my escape from the world. As I’ve grown older, art has become so much more than that. Every piece of art I create is a journey into my soul. It’s a priceless way to deal with my emotions and my struggles. I create art not only because I enjoy it and because I want to, but because I have to. Somewhere deep inside there is a driving force, urging me to put my heart down on paper. I become emotionally attached to each of my pieces because they are like dashes on the wall marking my growth. Each one is the solution to a problem I have dealt with and overcome.
