The Brandywine Art Museum is a creative experience that has changed my perspective of artwork due to its fine qualities and details. This historic museum is located on the Brandywine River, which provides a beautiful view of nature and water without even entering the gallery. Upon entering the museum, I admired the natural lighting of the museum on all of its floors. I also noticed the light wood floors and clear, wide window panes overlooking the river. I was immediately relaxed and ready to observe the intricate paintings from the family of Wyeths. Part of a good art museum is the art itself. The Brandywine Museum was no exception to this statement. After taking the unique elevator to another floor, we entered a gallery containing …show more content…
and Jamie Wyeth. These particular paintings happened to be my favorite. This is due to their eye catching colors, life-like detail, and simple subjects. I saw my favorite painting immediately after walking into the open gallery of Jamie Wyeth’s paintings. This piece of art, titled Angus, contained many bulls running towards the viewer in an intimidating manner. The painting required no assumptions, and an immediate rush of alertness went through me as I absorbed the image of a dozen anxious animal running straight at me. The background of this picture was a simple light blue, and contrasted the dark skin of the bulls. After enjoying this painting, we made our way over to the N.C. Wyeth section of the gallery. This gallery was wide, with room in the center to sit and observe the paintings. I enjoyed these paintings especially for their concise, yet detailed compositions. I particularly liked that I didn’t have to stare at the paintings for minutes in order to get a sense of what it was about; I could simply glance at them. This would make sense, since N.C. Wyeth had been hired to paint these works for a novel. In conclusion, I very much enjoyed our tour of the Brandywine Museum. The museum itself was simple and relaxing, yet the artwork was complex and emotional. My favorite artist was Jamie Wyeth, due to his simple, yet detailed paintings. However, I cannot say that
“Cleveland Museum of Art: Building,” Cleveland Art, Cleveland Museum of Art, 2013. Web. 25 March, 2014.
This work shows impeccably drawn beech and basswood trees. It was painted for a New York collector by the name of Abraham M. Cozzens who was then a member of the executive committee of the American Art-Union. The painting shows a new trend in the work of the Hudson River School. It depicts a scene showing a tranquil mood. Durand was influenced by the work of the English landscape painter John Constable, whose vertical formats and truth to nature he absorbed while visiting England in 1840.
My overall experience at the Montclair Art Museum was very positive and I enjoyed observing different works of art. It was interesting to see the different mediums and themes used for different works of art. Based on what we discussed in class and the formal analysis’ completed, I was able to deeply analyze all the works seen. I plan to continue visiting museums and galleries when ever I have the
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. The area also has a mini art studio to cater to the little creative minds that pass through.
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.

The River Severn, Alfred H. Vickers, Oil on Canvas, owned by they Amarillo Museum of Art given by Marilyn Seven and Ray Matney. The painting uses a luminism artistic style that is defined by “a 19th-century painting style emphasizing a unique clarity of light. . . . almost always landscapes or seascapes. . .” After reviewing Mr. Vickers’ other work, he is definitely a realist artist with many works that portray accurate size, color, and depictions of landscapes.
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.
I went to the Gorman Museum on Sunday to check out the artwork for this assignment. Initially, I was expecting like the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento with many mediums of artworks such as sculpture, oil paintings, water paintings, etc. When I got there, it was a small room. Perhaps, a bit spacious than a single car garage. There are handful of different artworks and there were a few that caught my attention.
Identify: Many people that appreciate art will visit big art museums like the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Personally, I think small town artist have more to them. In the northeastern tip of Georgia there is a small town called Rabun County. I visited the Crawford Art Gallery in Clayton, Georgia. This gallery is a small two story building full of Broderick Crawford’s artwork. His work is shown downstairs while his art studio resides upstairs. Crawford has always been a resident of these North Georgia Mountains. owns his own gallery filled with his art work. My favorite was the California Quail painted in 2015. This is a 13x18 inch painting by Broderick Crawford. He used acrylic paint to construct his work. Skilled artist. Observers
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 Kansas History Museum was very interesting, it had many displays were you could see what some of the things looked like. It was full of facts about famous trails, indians, trains, settlers and many other things. I learned that the toys some of the kids
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.
One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.
Decades after World War One, a new building style emerged and continues to affect architecture to this day. Modernism is less concern about ornaments and holds at a higher priority the purpose and structure of a building. One superb example is The Kimbell Art Museum located in Fort Worth, Texas. This Museum continues to hold prestige in the public eye. Kahn was able to successfully use natural light and material that emphasize his architecture, while not over shadowing the art work displayed. These are few reasons of why The Kimbell Art Museum is an ideal museum that has only contributed to the modern age. This work of art is what many buildings and museums have always longed to be.
