My trip to Museum
My trip to Dallas Museum of Art

On the 18th of June 2013, I decided to visit one of the greatest museums in Dallas. I was very excited to visit the museum because I have never been to any of the museums before in Dallas since I came to the United States of America. Therefore, when the professor said it is the part of a grade so I got more excited. I reached the downtown by noon, and parked our car outside the Dallas Museum of Art. Dallas Museum of Art significantly improved its standing within the art world. It was first established in 1903, the museum has been around for more than a 100 years collecting, preserving, presenting and interpreting works of art that are of high quality and are diverse in both cultural as well as in historical aspect. The Dallas Museum of Art features an outstanding collection of more than 23,000 works of art from around the world, from ancient to modern times. I became very curious and always wanted to see something historical and ancient things like these.

During my visit at The Dallas Museum of Art I came to know that I had stepped into a building with a world of its own. When I was entering to my first exhibit I was, honestly, mildly amused. I see the rooms were filled with artwork decorating the walls I could not locate a painting that would seize my attention until I walked through the door and into another part of the exhibit. In this room I saw a painting that just ravished my senses, but to me this would be a regular occurrence for the duration of my visit. Walking through the different exhibits was captivating, with some causing me to feel deep emotion in just observing them. The sculptures were amazing and I was trying to pay a close attention to see the details of the artworks. I must day, if you would like to impress someone on the first date or need to spend some quality time with someone you love the most then I think the Dallas Museum of Art will never disappoint you.

    Visiting the Newark Museum was new to me; I have gone to the museum of art in New York, but I never really found any interest in art itself, until now. Because of this Art appreciation class, I was able to criticize some of the paintings hanging on the wall, and the way everything was set up. It was very interesting to see the quality of some of the art work that I passed by. The most wonderful collection of art that I found to be the most interesting one is the African collection.…

    The museum has a massive, unique, collection of art by a very well respected artist that has never been shown anywhere else in the world, this is a great strength of the museum. This also means that most people are totally unfamiliar with the art contained in the museum and don’t have a lot of context as to what the exhibitions entail, which is a weakness. But, these factors create the opportunity for the museum to make a name for itself in the world of art exhibitions, but it hasn't quite achieved the fame it is capable of, yet. The location of the museum can also be viewed in different lights. It is firstly an opportunity in that the campus aspect of the museum area of downtown Denver means that the Clyfford Still Museum will receive more unexpected foot traffic than if it were located away from other museums. This also can be a threat beauce the close proximity of the two museums means that many people mistakenly enter the Clyfford Still Museum confusing it with the Denver Art Museum and ultimately decide not to stay for a visit. The museum has done a good job of putting its strengths out front by creating unique, engaging exhibits, by comparing and contrasting the work of Still with the work of the work of more well known artists who respected him, by advertising its facility as a work of art in its own right and…

    Museums bring history and culture to life by allowing individuals to gain unique hands on experience that is different from learning from textbooks or television. One can never know the reality behind certain artifacts and art until they see it for themselves. The perception of viewing a multitude of replicas and pictures such as the Mona Lisa can be dramatically different from witnessing the painting up close. The interactive experience allows one to engage and immerse ourselves back into time to learn about the truth of different cultures and traditions. The intent of museums is not purely to enthrall historians and scholars, but to create an environment which is welcoming to all individuals. While historians argue that museums…

    I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art on April 8th, a beautiful and sunny day. Being around the museum conjured a sense of nostalgia to my middle school days when I took a field trip to the museum. Since that last visit I have gained a better understanding about art and what goes into every piece of work. I have also gained more experience, back then I did not know how to shade properly and did not know a thing about composition. Now, I have a greater appreciation for every stroke of a brush and color applied. The reason I chose the North Carolina Museum of Art was solely to re-experience the art with my new artistic eye. While walking through the museum, I searched for that one piece of art that would catch my eye and inspire me to talk…

    Let’s start with the building style, or architecture, of the Museum. The Museum describes itself as an “Eclectic mixture of children’s playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel.”. The Museum is built almost entirely out of recycled or repurposed architectural and industrial materials, including cranes, old bridges, a human-sized hamster wheel, a bank vault, and even an old school bus. That gives it an irregular personality with the unexpected always lurking around the next corner.…

    When I went to the art museum, I had no idea that I would come into contact with one of my favorite Impressionists artists. I spent hours walking through the museum, gallery after gallery. Each piece was beautifully created. I saw portraits, prints, sculptures, all eccentric in their own way. My family, quickly paced, moved through the maze of colors with lightning speed. As for me, each one had an intricate story and detail that I was determined to learn.…

    I took a trip to the art exhibit because I knew this would be right up my alley. The art installations were fantastic, and explored the People, Land, and Creativity of California. The temporary glass work exhibit was my favorite. No photographs allowed (by the time I found out, I had already taken seven photographs) and its mature content so preferably no kids allowed. But to my surprise there were tons of kids. The first art work that truly caught my eye was Fortunato Arriola’s “Tropical Landscape” (1870.) The social realist painting consists of green and blue shades as the scene takes place at a river bend. The golden frame (which is 48 in HIGH x 76.75 in WIDE (121.92 cm HIGH x…

    When our class visited Joan and Robert Rechnitz Hall I felt as if this would be a hard assignment because I felt as if none of the artwork would catch my attention, seeing as I’ve never had an interest in artwork while growing up. This visit was really eye opening because not only did I enjoy the time we spent there, surprisingly I was actually interested in some of the work that was being displayed at that time.…
