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
