Recommended: Anatomy illustrators

The Ramón y Cajal exhibit was mind-blowing, to say the least. The way that anatomy and biology is presented as art is such an interesting concept. Many people don’t associate the two, however they may not realize that anatomy is the basis of human manifestation within art. The amount of detail that was incorporated into Ramón y Cajal's works were impressive - every axon, dendrite, and soma were carefully sketched and colored, and the spinal nerves were beautifully drawn to its final detail. It was really fascinating seeing works of science and anatomy spanning from the 1500’s to today: all the way from some of the first published anatomical illustrations to today's models and pictures produced by modern technology. I would have never appreciated

    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.

    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 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.
