Art Gallery










1 & 2
























3 & 4















5 & 6






Above are six pieces of artwork that I enjoyed seeing at the Albright Knox Art Gallery.

1. The last two pictures are the two pieces of art that had an impression on me. This is because number 5 is definitely a different type of art. It made me wonder how someone could come up with something like this and realizing that I could too! Number 6 left an impression on me because I learned that this is an oil painting. Walking through the gallery, I realized many of the paintings were oil paintings and I never knew what they looked like. I definitely like this type of art and would love to try it out sometime!

2.  I felt a connection with numbers 3 and 4. Number three shows a great example of value and to me, it was the simplest art there. It has words written on it and I have always loved pictures like that. It is hard for me to explain, but looking at this artwork, it made me feel a sense of peace and I felt calm while looking at it. Number 4 is also one that I felt a connection with. Just by looking at this type of art, I feel as though it is more modern. It was more "fun" and made me feel happy and relaxed while viewing the different colors and how they all line up and change. The different shades of the colors mix well and I feel at ease looking at it!

3. I would like to know more about numbers 1 and 2. Number one because every time I looked at this art, I saw different lines and shapes each time. If you look hard at the colors and lines, your eyes will shift and see other lines going through the horizontal ones. The colors make it even better because they are almost the same so it makes it harder to separate! I would love to learn more how artists do this and how they know what will confuse the human eye. Number 2 also uses many lines and colors. While this one is easier to depict, I still wonder how the artist came up with the idea of adding so many different lines. Again with this one, I see different lines overtime I look at the artwork. The colors are not all the same so it is easier to separate the boxes but I still want to learn how every line matches up with another one and how the artist thought it through.

    I enjoyed your photos of the art in the Albright Knox museum, I noticed the one that looks like a knot of a cable or something while I toured around. Great work on this project.

module 12

I chose 'Art of the 50's and 60's' and 'Uncertainty: Modernity and Art' because I love everything about the 50 and 60's era and am hoping the modernity video is about how art has expanded. 2. In 'Art of the 50's and 60's' I learned that many comic book characters are put together in the same way and viewed the same way. Also, I learned how to dissect a photo to better understand how a portrait was put together in the way that it was. In 'Modernity and Art' I learned that modern art is very hard to interpret and many people wish it wasn't. I realized that there is a lot of emotion behind the random strokes in a painting and nothing is meaningless. I always asked myself why I couldn't be famous for splatter painting on a canvas but I now see there is a lot of heavy detail behind the randomness of artwork. 3. These videos relate to the text because they both explain the many fine details that make or break the artwork and the...

module 11

1. I selected 'Matisse and Picasso' because I wanted to learn more about the famous artists that they are. I never knew much about them and was eager to find out. I also chose 'Expressionism' because it seemed interesting and was hoping it would teach me how artists chose the expressions on their artwork and what they meant behind them. 2. In 'Matisse and Picasso' I learned that Matisse and Picasso were both very different. I learned that Picasso added a lot to his works. He would come back everyday and restart on his painting, adding something new every time. In 'Expressionism', I learned that artists emphasized emotion to tell a story in their artworks. There were sad emotions expressed to signify death and to give details to the audience when looking at the artwork. 3. The videos relate to the reading in the text because they both give us reasons and ways that artists connect with their audience. 4. My opinion of these films were mixed throughou...

module 16-reflections of AED 200

1. My expectations of this class was to learn more about the background of art and these expectation were beyond met. I learned more than I thought I would which is great! 2. In my first post I said art is a from of creativity and a way to express oneself. I still believe in this but I also want to add that art isn't just about opinion and how the artist views things. The artist will gear towards a certain audience and actually leave out their personal opinions of the artwork and put aside their feelings in one's work. 3. Vincent Van Gogh was my favorite artist and now it is Claude Monet. Monet is my favorite because I have seen many of his painting of flowers in fields and the texture look of his art makes it even better. 4. I love online courses! My view on them are the same from the beginning because I knew it would take more self discipline but I love it! I learned a lot doing everything on my own.
