...Philip Scattergood Serena Potter ART 100 16 May 2016 Past Conservative Dignity of Few to a Present Modern Flair of Many Neoclassical residential architecture was mainly evident in the homes of only a few members of society that displayed the dignity of the lives of their owners, a product of Social History. Since then progress in the Arts and modern technology has led to postmodern residential architecture that has flair that many members of society can share in by actually being able to reside there without any particular social standing. New modern thinking and the strength of numbers can facilitate the actualization of architectural projects that may have only been considered by a rare few in the past. Jefferson’s Monticello The third president of the United States Thomas Jefferson was a man of many talents besides being a man of the people. We would usually expect that a man of such prominence would have a home unlike the average working class man. So how did Jefferson decide what type of home he wanted and how to go about getting it built? “As a profession, architecture in the American colonies was virtually a monopoly of carpenter craftsmen, masons, and related building tradesmen (Adams, p. 3)”. In 1760 the study of architecture did not exist in the colonies when Jefferson went to college. In 1771 Jefferson wrote a letter to a business correspondent Thomas Adams, saying “I desired the favor of you to procure and architect. I must repeat the request earnestly, that...

...Frank Lloyd Wright's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum The Guggenheim Museum was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's greatest design and contribution to the architectural world . This museum was finished October 21 , 1959 only six months before Wright's death at the age of 91. Wright dedicated 16 years to the design and construction of the Guggenheim Museum,during which he endured constant battles with a limited budget, enforcement of strict building codes, and permits. To top it off he faced harsh criticism from his fellow artists rejecting his design of the museum. Frank Lloyd Wright was constantly having to justify his spiral innovate design that would be the home to Solomon R. Guggenheim's non objective art collection. (Lubow,1)Before diving deeper into the design of the museum we must first reflect on where Frank Lloyd Wright came from along with his many achievements to truly understand a great American architect and his famous but controversial building.

Anne Wright had great admiration of the arts and an appreciation for architecture. She bought her son the Fredrick Froebel children building blocks, here lies the beginning of Frank Lloyd Wright's interest for architecture (Hertz, 8-10) Wright went to the University of Wisconsin and studied engineering for two semesters before he dropped out.

He studied art at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn from 1941-1943, and also studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston from 1946-1948. Kelly travel to France in 1949 and infrequently attended classes at Ecole des beaux-arts where he was introduced to Surrealism and Neo-Plasticism that inspired many of his future art pieces (Guggenheim). Ellsworth Kelly’s “November Painting” was painted in 1950. It is an oil piece painted on wood in a white frame. The only colors that are displayed in the painting are black and white that makes the piece organized and concise, while also creating a nice contrast. The canvas itself is a slightly off-white. The off-white canvas is somewhat textured from the oil paint. Intermittently dispersed across the canvas are small, separate black and white geometric shapes, which unlike the background retain a smooth surface. The shapes are unorganized, and do not seem to be of any particular pattern. The shaped are not identical to each other, making each one unique and completely random. They contain to their own space, and do not intersect with each other (Philadelphia Museum of Art). “November Painting” is an experimental piece that began as a black and white drawling Kelly had developed.

In fact, India is all this and much more. With an incredibly long and rich history, it has changed and developed tremendously since ancient times. Even so, a good deal of its culture and traditions have withstood the test of time. Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. An art centre or arts center is distinct from an art gallery or art museum. An arts centre is a functional community centre with a specific remit to encourage arts practice and to provide facilities such as theatre space, gallery space, venues for musical performance, workshop areas, educational facilities, technical equipment, etc. The creative arts are often divided into more specific categories, each related to its technique, or medium, such as decorative arts, plastic arts, performing arts, textile arts or literature. We do this by: • programming local, national and international music, theatre, cinema, dance and a whole host of workshops • supporting artists who live and work in our region • providing opportunities for all in our community to participate in making art .

...Museum Paper The David & Alfred Smart Museum of Art is one that is fairly small compared to many other museums in Chicago. The museum is located on the University of Chicago campus. Although it is a part of the campus, the newer, modern look of the building stands out from the campus’ gothic feel. When walking into the museum it was definitely evident that it belonged to a college campus. It was a Sunday afternoon, and many students and Hyde Park residents were enjoying refreshments in the café. The café was exactly what one would expect from a college café. Several black, round, tables, netted metal chairs, and white walls along with the black café counter created a contrast with the colorful pieces of art lining the café/lobby. After visiting the café, there are stairs and clear glass doors which lead into the art museum. The first section of the museum is the Elisabeth and William Landes Gallery or the Modern Art & Design section. This section contains many pieces from the 1880s to the 1950s. The gallery portrayed mostly European and American sculptures, sketches, and paintings. The most well-known piece in the room is the dining room furniture designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Robie House. After the first section, one can choose to go in a few different directions, leading into the rest of the galleries such as the contemporary art section which houses the State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970 which is an exhibit featuring photographs of landmarks and...

...The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an example for the architectural revival of Beaux-Arts Style in New York’s architecture. The Ecole des Beaux-Arts applied the term in its name, because they covered this particular style in their studies. Richard Morris Hunt combined and adopted the learned Beaux-Arts stylistic features in the Metropolitan Museum’s façade at the Fifth Avenue wing (Baker 441) and constructed it in 1880. “Hunt’s design established the character of the subsequent museum extensions along Fifth Avenue” (Baker 441) which proves that Beaux-Arts were an architectural revival in not only New York City, because “the Beaux-Arts tradition […] had already come to characterize museum design […] [all over] the United States” (Baker 445)....

Almost all the artists who would later become abstract painters in New York in the 1940s and 1950s were stamped by the experience of the Great Depression. they came to maturity whilst painting in styles influenced by social realism and the Regionalist movement. By the late 1940s most had left those styles behind, but they learned much from their early work. It encouraged them in their commitment to an art based on personal experience. Time spent painting murals would later encourage them to create abstract paintings on a monumental scale. The experience of working for the government - sponsored Works Progress Administration also brought many...
