The Moma Museum

This was my first time visiting The Moma Museum. It was a fun experience because I never seen these types of interesting art work. I even touched one of the art pieces and got yelled at because I thought the security said I could. There were 3 pieces of art that called my attention.

  One of the art pieces that amused me was the Les Demoiselles d'Avignon by Pablo Picasso. It’s a Spanish painting from 1881- 1973. What I like about this painting is the form that the artist painted the bodies. It is very unique and the way the faces are shown. You can’t tell if it’s a female or a male because they look like they have both aspects. The light colors make the painting stand out.

  The second piece of  art that catched my attention was by Vincent Van Gogh, The Starry Night. It’s a painting done oil on canvas and this one was my favorite. I like the background of the painting it has a magical sense of feeling. The colors blue and yellow fuse together and make he painting stand out. The painting looks realistic because it has a sense of perspective. The stars and moons in the background, while in the front are big leaves and small houses.

   The third piece of art work is called One. It was done by the American Jackson Pollock, 1912-1956.  This painter did his work by lying the canvas flat on the floor. It looks as if he just grabbed the brush and started throwing the painting one on top of the other, to give it a messy look. It is an interesting painting because you can see painting stand out by the way one is over the other.

   I would like to return to the museum one day and keep looking at the rest of the art work, I didn’t get a chance to see. One day I’ll go back and take more pictures with my family members. The work is admirable and very talented.

Eliza's collage of Magical World

 

I created this Art Collage out of my pure imagination. Since a little girl my favorite super heroes were always Batman and Catwoman. I always imagined them both saving the world with the help of their love. I also really like cats, their my favorite animals. This collage represents team work, peace, love and admiration. One day I hope to find a partner in crime like Batman so together we would save this world.

Eliza's View of Art

What is Good Art?

Federigo Gonzaga (1500–1540), 1510
Francesco Francia (Francesco di Marco di Giacomo Raibolini) (Italian, Bolognese, active by 1482, died 1517/18)
Tempera on wood, transferred from wood to canvas and then again to wood

In my opinion good art is the type of art that is admirable. In which the viewer can relate to and ask many questions about it. Through painting you can even infer the emotion of the author while creating his piece of art. Good art portrays a lot of effort and creativity. A good place to observe some good art would be in the museums. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a lot of fascinating paintings and one of my favorites is a renaissance painting by Federigo Gonzaga. Its the painting above and I like it because it seems very realistic.

What is bad art?

800 × 461 - Some of the work echoed the paintings of Terry Frost and Victor Passmore.

 In my opinion there is no such thing as bad art, but if I must say then it would be the type that doesn't catch a viewers attention. The art that seems to have no effort being put to it. In some museum I see some pieces that I could of done myself and even better. I don't like to judge but I'm just saying. Every artist has their own type of creativity and people view things differently. What can be beautiful to them may not be beautiful to others. To me simple art would be bad art.
