''Quiz Makeup''


I choose Pierre Huyghe. Pierre is a great artist his artwork are very different from others. His very talented and his artwork is very modern. His very creative when it comes with his pieces he make it work and he really make his pieces cough your eye.

My favorite was ‘‘this is not a time dreaming’’ this artwork is really modern and creative he put himself in this artwork and created something different.

The one I dislike was ‘’the poetics of space’’ this work confused me but at the same time I liked it. It was very different and creative. And in my conclusion I’m not going to struggle anymore trying to understand any artwork because I realize any good work requires of thinking. Thinking beyond everything to understand but when you don’t have a lot of knowledge about art this can be really hard.

This artist reminded me of Cindy Sherman because Cindy try to portray her artwork with herself I kind of thought this was the same thing Pierre tried to do. To personified all his artwork by including himself in his artworks.



''Movement of Bodies''


For our project 5 we had to choose which museum we want to go. We had to choose between MOMA and The MET. I choose The MET because we already went to the MOMA. I really liked The MET is everything I expect and more.  For this project the theme I choose was ‘’ Movement of bodies’’ I choose this theme because all the artwork I choose is about movement and bodies with different positioning.

What I expect my viewers to take from this exhibit is that no matter the place or the century all of us can relate with this artworks and no matter the culture in any type of way ‘’we’’ humans we all very alike and we can relate with each other even with bodies position.

I felt very attracted by all the sculptures in the museum and then when I  got to see the galleries of 19th- and early 20th – century European paintings and sculpture  and the European paintings there is when I realize what I wanted my topic to be about. Because all the sculptures where like bodies movement and the paintings they had all this people trying to portray something by their body position.

The three works that I feel that relate very well with my theme are; the Actor, The birth of Venus and the vine. These three artworks I feel they’re express and portray a lot by their position. For ex the painting of ‘’the actor’’ I found it very interesting it cough my sight right away. And the birth of Venus the position of her body she express pleasure and the way her body is flouting in the water it looks pleasant in contrary ‘’the vine’’ sculpture express pleasure but almost vending down her Spain .we can express the same feeling in different ways and positions.

Lastly I really liked the MET and enjoyed my experience at this museum I found it very interesting. Planning another trip soon in which I could spend more time and maybe go thru all the exhibitions.  As I curator I really enjoyed this experience it was really cool spending time choosing works of art that I liked and putting them all together and make them work and relate with each other
