San Jose museum of art
In my life, I have never been to any museum, and I never thought museums were that cool and incredible view. Today first time I went to San Jose museum art because my art teacher recommended to all class students to go there for extra credit. Also I never expect the positive experience, which I got from this visit, for example; I got parking in short time, no line to buy tickets, and no crowd at the museum which helps me to spend more time on each photo to understand it better. So because of this positive reason, I observed many things about Indian history of art and Mexican famous artist about Jose Clemente Orozco. When I enter inside I found out that museum looks very impressive to me because everything designed very beautifully. In fact the architecture of the building is very amazing to see. Everything is very clean and organized which …show more content…

All paintings show Indian people, traditions, and Indian situations. This photo specifically shows, what did Indian people is wearing and how did they look like. Also I notice that these photos present both sides, north and south India. For example; I saw one picture in which two girls were sitting on the motorbikes which is not normal in Indian because girls don’t really ride motorbikes. I identified that those girls are from Haryana, which is state in North part of India. It was very easy for me to recognize them by their clothing sense and body language. Haryana girls are very open not like all other girls, they live their life like a male. In another picture, I saw where a man giving rose to his wife, which presenting their love and bonding. This couple is from south India. The reason I’m so sure that they are from south India, because of their dressing sense and hairstyles. I saw many south Indian movies and people who wear so type of clothes and the same

  • Visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Viewing the Asian Art Collections

    1561 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Metropolitan Museum of Art has one of the finest Asian art collections that has enlightened and strengthened my understanding in my personal art experience. The Museum itself is an artistic architectural structure that graces the entire block on 82nd Street in Manhattan. Entering inside, I sensed myself going back into an era, into a past where people traded ideas and learned from each other. It is a past, where I still find their works of yesteryears vividly within my grasp, to be remembered and shared as if their reflections of works were cast for the modern devoted learner.

  • A Day at the Norton Simon Museum

    1220 Words  | 3 Pages

    As we reach the museum, the exterior was very beautiful. The first things I saw were the bronze statues in the front. We took a couple of pictures in front of them and in front of the Norton Simon. The entrance where the glass doors had sat was very unique and elegant. The glass walls that the glass doors were attached to, added to the elegance and beauty. When I had first walked in, I was very shy, timid, and unwilling to go on, this was due to the more mature audience that I had seen when I had first entered the museum. I was still unsure on how to act in a museum, being this my first time, so I was very calm, cool and reserved, but as time went on I saw college students my age probably doing the same thing I was doing. So I then I felt more at ease. Plus my girlfriend was with me so I was not alone.

    The Tampa Museum of Art was not always the same museum that we see today. It went through multiple stages throughout the years. The works vary, creating a large spectrum from the old to the new. The social angles change with the exhibits in the museum, combining to create the diversity we see today. Visiting this museum in person helped me to appreciate it even more than I would have thought possible. Observing and analyzing the other visitors helped me to understand the museum’s impact on the community more than I would have been able to just by reading about it. This museum is much different from others than I have visited.

    Art movement’s characteristics vary from nation to nation, but painting can be used as a critique of the socio-political reality in a given nation. It is a creative way to communicate with a population about economic, education and social issues. Therefore, The History of Cuernavaca and Morelos: Crossing the Barranca (ravine) Detail (1929-30) Fresco by Diego Rivera is a good example of how an artist uses his creativity to connect with people in relation to Mexican history.

    Items displayed in museums hold historical significance and are representative of society’s culture. Preserving valuable collections for education and enjoyment is a primary role of museums. While fulfilling this role, the architecture of the museum is also an important factor. Historical buildings are converted into museums and architects must consider the use of the space and the museum’s purpose during their initial design. Other museums are built with a clear purpose in mind. As museums are designed, many characteristics are determined. Display and storage spaces as well as visitor services impacts museum’s functionality. Based on the function of a museum, architectural requirements are different.

    I first visited the Guggenheim Museum two weeks ago with Claus, my friend from Germany. We had the MOMA in mind but I guess talking, talking we must have passed it by. Half an hour from the MOMA we found ourselves in front of the Guggenheim, the astonishing white building that was Frank Lloyd Wright's last project. Why not? We said to ourselves. And so we walked right in.

  • Poetics And The Politics Of Exhibiting Other Culture, By Gayatri Chaeravorty Spivak

    We visited the Museo Nacional De Antropologa in Madrid, and were assigned to analyse the Asian Room, which is focused particularly on the Philippine Islands because of their historical colonisation with Spain. The display of things in a museum are things that we look at as something that is outside of normal. In contrast to the movie or movies, where scenes substantially show how the person felt and dealt with situations and tools from their own perspective, with their own knowledge and experience and through different means such as real images, sounds, language and others produces a different knowledge on the racial discourse. When looking at exhibitions in museums the other culture is unknown, and almost uncomfortable to us, but in movies we can be standing in their shoes.

    The inside of the museum was intense because you walk into see two huge dinosaur structures in the front. There were also many entrances to different exhibits on top the entrances were enormous murals depicting various things. The murals showed all of the cultures around the world. All of the cultures are able to mix in with each other. For instance, the mural on top of the Asian Peoples exhibit was showing the many different Asian cultures such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese mixing into one huge mural. There was the mural on top of the African Peoples exhibit that included prominent animals such as, lions and elephants. And lastly for the South American Peoples exhibit that included Theodore Roosevelt in the mural signifying the creation of the Panama Canal. I like how the murals all had the same color schemes. These murals showed the impact of various historical events having an im...
