''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 19^th- and early 20^th – 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
