Reflection
A piece of art I saw that invoked strong feelings for me was the Thunderbird Transformation Mask by a ‘NAMGIS KWAKWAKA’WAKW artist. The art captured my attention because of the face in the middle. It looked creepy and gave an eerie feeling because of how lifelike and off putting it seemed at the same time.…

As soon as I saw Iago’s Mirror by Fred Wilson, I was stunned by the beauty of it. It’s insanely intricate and ornate, and the layers jut out of the wall into your face. In the light, it shines silver and blue which heavily contrasts with the darkness around it. When you look into the…

There is also a quintessential New York City bus sign accompanied by a sign with common street names in Brooklyn (Myrtle Ave, Rockaway/Eastern Pkwy, etc). This part…

As Film Production Major is it easy to see film a separate medium of art. However, my experience in at the Night at the Museum shows how art cannot be separated into one medium without a larger discussion. Art, in general, envokes feelings, reveals a point of view, and starts conversations, much like how film…

i have never been a museum person—especially since i do not express heavy interest in historical artifacts. i usually end up skimming through the exhibits without much thought. however, this event today allowed me to focus on observing very closely and actually seeing the tiny details behind a specific artwork. it felt like i have…
