Museum Event Research Paper

Event Response Paper The event I chose to attend was The Ringling Museum in Sarasota. The layout was successful and organized by origin and date. The rooms were spacious enough to accommodate large crowds. When I attended it was free museum day and it was at maximum capacity but still aloud plenty of space to view each painting. It was easy to follow as it was in chronological order starting in 1350 in Italy and ending with modern art dated 2015. The one thing that was lacking was auditory explanation for those non-English speaking viewers. In each room they had laminated brochures that explained each painting in detail excluding the modern art which had limited description and had a much smaller representation. The art describing the Medici family reminded me of some topics discussed in class. They did not have any specific activities for children in the art museum. They did however have play areas for children outside the art museum. …show more content…

They have a planned Asian art event for January or February 2016. The Ringling Art Museum is 17th of all art museums in the United States. USA Today voted the museum in the top 10 of Florida art museums. I would recommend this to my friends who want to learn about the history of art and the religious figures depicted in the paintings. The art intrigued my curiosity as each rooms art evolved over time. The shading and focus of individuals changed. Some were of religious figures, portraits of nobility, and scenes from classical Greek mythology. They also had a separate building for circus memorabilia and it also explained their lifestyle. They had gardens filled with sculptures. One could easily spend a day there with all the separate areas which was on waterfront property. John and Mabel Ringling enjoyed assembling medieval art, which is interesting because they were the partial owners of the Ringling Brothers

    The Peristyle, one of the buildings that was constructed for the Fair, was designed by Charles B. Atwood. It was an ‘arcade of columns originally proposed by Augustus Saint Gaudens, the consultant on sculpture.” (Burg 79) The Perisytle was a beautiful building that followed in the traditional Greek pathway. It “was a series of forty-eight Corinthian columns, one for each of the American States and Territories, with an immense triumphal arch at the center. J The Peristyle itself was 500’ high, its top being a broad promenade populated by 85 allegorical figures in heroic scale.” (Burg 119) The Greeks used Peristyles in their architecture. A Peristyle was placed around the Greek Parthenon. Corinthian columns were created in the Hellenic era, but they had to wait until the Hellenistic era to reach their full development. J “They are distinguished by their ornate capitals with double rows of acanthus leaves and fernlike fonds rising from each corner and terminating in miniature volutes.” (Fleming 32)

  • Philadelphia Art Museum

    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.

  • Metropolitan Museum of Art Trip

    One of my personal favorite days of this semester was the class trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It was a long journey to get there, especially with having to walk all the way from Penn Station, but it was a nice day so I couldn’t really complain. Plus, it was worth it because I love museums. The Met is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. I could not believe how big it was and how many galleries there actually were. I can’t wait to go back and see all of them! Our trip mostly focused upon Greek and Roman art, and I found it to be thoroughly interesting. There was so much to look at that I didn’t know where to start. I was in amazement at all of the pieces and the fascinating stories behind them. The two pieces that sparked my interest the most were the marble sarcophagus depicting the myth of Selene and Endymion and the Etruscan bronze chariot.

    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.

    A key factor in Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use,” and Amy Tan’s “A Pair of Tickets,” is heritage. Throughout both stories the use of heritage can be seen easily. Walker’s avoidance of heritage in her writings and Tan’s understanding of heritage in her writing. Through this readers can see the true meaning of heritage. Understanding both sides of these two stories gives readers a chance to explore their own heritage and reflect on how they accept their past.

Also, art schools, many commercial or charitable organizations can arrange for such fairs.

  • The Museum of Fine Arts

    The first art that interested me was the art of Indonesia which in this exhibit depicted the culture, history and art of Indonesian people. For instance, Bali a small island in the Indonesia valued most of its art based on the rich resources they occupied such as most art was composed of gold, diamond and sapphires which people of Bali believed that it will resemble their higher standards in the society. Art of Bali amazed me the most when it came to their “King’s crown” and “Queen’s crown” which was completely “fashioned in pure gold with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires” (Bali). The king’s crown was much simpler compare to queen’s crown which contained many varied of gold decorative that looked like gold flowers, and all of its designs such as rubies or sapphires were perfectly horizontally lined to each other that sort of depicted as a shiny necklace. The Bali’s art that I observed was very interesting know about the society they lived in those centuries with representation of their upscale society (Bali).

    The first art gallery we entered was by far my favorite. It was well put together and had very extravagant art paintings. Inside a man was strumming his guitar. I loved the ambiance I felt when I walked in. People observed the art in an orderly fashion. There were snacks like cheese, tea, crackers, cookies, and homemade flavored water to enjoy as people reviewed the art displayed on the walls. The art itself was truly breathtaking and breathtakingly expensive as well. I wondered at the time how much art could have costed back in the eras we are studying in class, as composed of

Color and music are synonymous with Asian culture so from an emic perspective, some people within the culture can see the importance of color and music; moreover, from an etic perspective people will continue to see the vibrant colors and musical aspects of Asian cultures to be important. Furthermore, with the Mesoamerican culture you can see the exhibits were huge or centered in certain places for people to show how impressive their culture was. Every turn or corner you can see something huge or eye-catching to show how monumental the he Mesoamerican cultures were. Moreover, from an outsider, or even insider point of view on the culture there is a respect towards these specific cultures.
