...The Toledo Museum of Art is a very special place with an extensive collection of art from different periods and locations. It was increasingly difficult to select just two pieces to analyze and discuss. The two pieces I selected include Feast of Herod by Mattia Preti and The Crowning of Saint Catherine by Peter Paul Rubens. These pieces have always stood out to me in the gallery. Feast of Herod is truthfully one of my favorite pieces of art, in any location. Mattia Preti completed Feast of Herod between 1656 and 1661 in Europe. The piece is oil on canvas and it’s completed height and width is 2521 cm x 1778 cm or 70 x 99 ¼ inches. This piece is a darker, more sinister looking piece with many characters, and exemplifies baroque imagery. Mattia Preti born February 24th 1613 in Taverna, Calabria, Italy and deceased January 3rd 1699 in Valletta, Malta. Preti was an Italian Baroque artist who worked mainly within Italy and Malta. Preti was a member of the Order of Saint John, a catholic...

...ART 2 • MUSEUM – BASED ESSAY • DUE: MAY 4/5 Suggested Locations* L.A. Country Museum of Art (LACMA) • lacma.org for info. The Getty Center (Santa Monica) or Getty Villa (Malibu) • getty.edu for info. The assignment is to write an expository essay that focuses on an interpretation of one artwork using a specific symbol or theme (see examples below). Your interpretation must include an analysis of the subject & style of artwork in relation to the function of the object, as we do in class. (Remember the 4 Steps of Interpretation). Also, you should identify the style characteristics of the period-culture to which it belongs. In the paper you will provide “proof” for identifying style and/or meaning by comparing it to objects in your textbook. This assignment is NOT a “report.” That is, you will not find much information about the artwork at the museum. The point of this paper is to interpret the object based on similarities to other objects that are more “known.” Your interpretation should be made primarily of your own observations in relation to the information provided by the textbook and research you conduct about the artworks’ style, symbolism, cultural context, etc. You must support your observations with facts. Also you must properly cite your sources of information in a works cited list. Consult the articles on writing available on our MyECC teamsite in the Writing Resources folder. Examples of Symbols: sun, moon, star, flower, halo, cross, tree, horn, offering...

...The school field trip has a long history in American public education. For decades, students have piled into yellow buses to visit a variety of cultural institutions, including art, natural history, and science museums, as well as theaters, zoos, and historical sites. Schools gladly endured the expense and disruption of providing field trips because they saw these experiences as central to their educational mission: schools exist not only to provide economically useful skills in numeracy and literacy, but also to produce civilized young men and women who would appreciate the arts and culture. More-advantaged families may take their children to these cultural institutions outside of school hours, but less-advantaged students are less likely to have these experiences if schools do not provide them. With field trips, public schools viewed themselves as the great equalizer in terms of access to our cultural heritage. Today, culturally enriching field trips are in decline. Museums across the country report a steep drop in school tours. For example, the Field Museum in Chicago at one time welcomed more than 300,000 students every year. Recently the number is below 200,000. Between 2002 and 2007, Cincinnati arts organizations saw a 30 percent decrease in student attendance. A survey by the American Association of School Administrators found that more than half of schools eliminated planned field trips in 2010–11. The decision to reduce culturally enriching field trips reflects...

...ESSAY 3: The author of the memorandum infers that during the last five years, the number of city residents watching television programs about visual arts has increased by 15 percent and also those going to the arts also risen at a similar rate. Then he is making the assumption that this is link to the fact that the corporate funding is supporting the public television channel where the visual arts program are appearing. The author strongly think that if we cut this budget, the number of people watching arts TV programs will decrease, and say that it will affect the number of persons visiting arts museum too. First of all, I would like to point the fact that there is a mistake in the comparison, indeed television and museums are too different thing, even if both got program about arts. I think that the people who are interested in arts, will continue to watch television or either going to museum. If the city residents like arts, even if there is less program on TV about arts, will still go to arts museum, maybe it wiil even increase. So first point, there is a wrong link between television and museum. Also there is data missing, as we don’t know if people been to museum after having seen arts program on the tv or if it they do it on the other ways. On a second hand, the last phrase of the text is telling us that they should relocate some of the fund of the city arts museum to public television in order to counter-balance the cut in public television fund, and this...

Movements studied include Abstract Expressionism, Pop, and Minimalism in the 1950s and 1960s; Post-Minimalism/Process Art, and Land art in the late 1960s and 1970s; Pastiche/Appropriation and rise of interest in “identity” in the 1980s; and the emergence of Post-Identity, Relational Art and Internet/New Media art in the 1990s/post-2000 period. We will focus primarily on artistic production in the US, but we will also be looking at art from Europe, South and East Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Emphasis will be placed on examining artworks and broader visual culture through the lens of a variety of different contextual frameworks:...

...decries the desecration and exploitation of Native American gravesites and holy sites. For far too long, Harjo argues, Native American people have been seen as nothing more than a people ripe for exploitation and plunder, especially since relics and bones can fetch hefty prices at museums or amongst collectors of such rare items. Harjo's intended audience is a lay one; she assumes that most people have been very uninformed and passive about her topic; as such, she makes concerted efforts to inform and persuade her audience that the desecration and exploitation of her people must stop.Ultimately, while Harjo's essay does a very good job of establishing an ethical and emotional warrant so as to support her initial claim, I contend that she fails to completely convince me as to why studying Indian relics and skulls on the part of scientists is a useless endeavor. She raises up a point about the futility of such ethnographic / scientific studies on the bones, but does not include sufficient counterevidence to support her view. I would argue that the bones and relics do serve a vital purpose--yet Harjo seems to give up halfway through her argument about the issue of the relics' utility. | Rhetorical Analysis First Draft by Mr. KHarjo, Susan Shown.

...“My Little Bit of Country”. The Authors name is Susan Cheever, she was an American writer who was born in 1943, who wrote the essay. She is the daughter of the famous novelist and short story writer John Cheever. The essay is from the selection called “Central Park”, which was released in 2012. The writer has written as a first person narrator through out the text. We met our main character Susan Cheever when she was very young. Her father has just returned home from the WW2. We are told by Susan that her family’s almost commonplace visits to Central Park Zoo and Central Park. Susan’s father started writing and because of the big success he had and the fact that they as parents wanted one more child, the family moved to the one of the suburbs of New York City. Susan was not very enamored of it, she loved to be in the enormous city, to skate on the ice rink and to visit the yak in Central Park Zoo. After they had moved, she eventually moved back the New York City and became an adult who raised her own kids, in the way that she wanted to be raised. In this analysis, we will focus on the writer’s use of contrast. We will also analyze the central- themes, which are explored in the text, and we will in the end put some comments on the title of the essay. In this paragraph, we will comment on the title. “My Little Bit of Country” was the title of the essay. The title was inspired by Andy Warhol, who Susan heard saying, that it was better to live in the city than in the country. On...

...experience of live listening. Another paper, “A Comparative Econometric Analysis of Museum Attendance by Locals and Foreigners: The Case of Padua and Seville” Carlofilippo, Elisabetta and Luisa Palma examine the broad issue of audience development and investigate the visitors’ opinions and behavior in the two museums between 2005 and 2006. The researchers designed a structured questionnaire which included 24 multiple-choice questions and divided into five parts. Apart from using primary data which they collected directly in Padua for three months and spent one month in Seville, they also used the secondary sources of information about museum attendance. The scope of this comparative research relates to the visit experience and motivations of attending by using quantitative research to analyze international comparison of foreign visitors. In their research, it is illustrated that the obtained data and statistical surveys pinpoint the key features of many characteristics, attitudes and behaviors throughout the attendances of the two fine arts museums- Padua and Seville respectively. This paper demonstrates the similarities and differences of the two museums and the econometric analysis on visitors’ loyalty, visit satisfaction and museum exposure. It is helpful that this empirical study contends different aspects between the two museums by conducting comparative research. The main aim of this critique essay will focus on analyzing the two papers’ research method in terms of their...

... Freud's father, a Jewish wool merchant of modest means, moved the family to Leipzig, Germany in 1859, and then settled in Vienna, where Freud remained until 1938. When Freud was eight years old, he was reading Shakespeare, and, during his adolescence, the hearing of a lecture about Goethe's essay on nature impressed him very much. Having considered studying law previously, he decided instead on a career in medical research, beginning his studies at Vienna University in 1873. As a student, Freud began research work on the central nervous system, guided by Ernst von Brock, and qualified as doctor of medicine in 1881. He worked at the Theodor Meynert's Psychiatric Clinic for a year, and later studied with Charcot, at the Salpetriure, in Paris. From 1884 to 1887 Freud published several articles on cocaine. He married Martha Bernays in 1886. The couple had six children (Mathilde, 1887; Jean-Martin, 1889; Olivier, 1891; Ernst, 1892; Sophie, 1893; Anna, 1895). He established a private practice, specializing in nervous disorders. His interest in hysteria was stimulated by Breuer's and Charcot's use of hypnotherapy. Freud moved to a flat in Berggasse, which turned into The Freud Museum Vienna eighty years later, in 1971. Freud and Breuer published their findings in Studies on Hysteria in 1895; in the same year, Freud was able to...
