The details of this piece stood out because of the beautiful creature/firebird. I thought it was a mermaid or an angel, or a goddess. The cool frosty glass gives it a cool feeling so even though the element is fire the feeling I get is peace and strength. The bronze base is also made from an automobile hood and it has moths or butterflies on it as well. This is piece is a lamp which illuminates. I’d say this is a pretty valuable piece based on its craftsmanship and the beautiful fine details.

Charles Cordier, La Capresse des Colonies, 1861

# data[].attributes.body
This beautiful statue has such unique detail and history. The blending of the multiple elements purposefully used to accentuate the robe, earrings, branded cuff with the artist's last name, the flower in her hair, and the amazing hair draw you in. The focus on the historical statute became a signal of beauty as the abolition of slavery. This is not a portrait of a person but rather the depiction of a "type." Its historic title, La capresse des colonies, invokes a slur to refer to a Caribbean woman; it is used as an object of novelty and desire. - The Met

Modern Fossil Game Controller, by Christopher Locke (2013)

# data[].attributes.body
CONCRETE: Artist Christopher Locke made this Nintendo game controller by taking a mold of a real controller, and then casting a copy of it in concrete. 1. This piece caught my eye because I think the contrast between the material and the original object is humorous. The original controller is supposed to be about quickness and technology, while concrete/fossilization is about ancient heaviness. It also makes me think about what future civilizations will think of us when they find the remnants of our society, and we aren't around anymore to explain it.  2. Most of the time when we think of concrete as a material, we think of utilitarian uses like buildings, parking lots, or maybe fountains, etc. I like that this artist is using concrete for a sculptural purpose without a typical use or function. 3. In this case, I think the value of the object comes from the artist's idea, not from the material itself. Concrete is very cheap, only a few dollars for a large bag at Home Depot, so it is the artist's idea concept and the time and effort to make the mold and cast the copy that gives this pieces interest and value

Young Tree Inside Old Tree, Giuseppe Penone (2012)

# data[].attributes.body
WOOD: Sculptor Giuseppe Penone carefully carves away the layers of a large tree until he reveals the original core of the tree when it was much younger, deep inside. 1. This piece caught my attention because it was so surprising to see the skinny little tree inside the giant log. 2. I love this work because instead of using wood to depict some other form, he is revealing the nature of wood itself, as a material, how the wood was created by nature. It makes you think about how living things grow and change with the passage of time. 3. Although sometimes wood can be very valuable as a material, these seem like 'common' logs to begin with. I think the value of this work is more about the artist's concept and his ability to carve the baby tree out so carefully. The artist seems to be showing how miraculous trees are by looking more closely at an 'ordinary' log.

Vulture Necklace Amulet, Ancient Egypt, artist unknown (c. 1336–1326 BCE.)

# data[].attributes.body
GOLD/JEWELS: This ancient Egyptian amulet is an amazing example of precious metal/natural stone artwork/craftsmanship.  1. This particular piece caught my eye because of its huge size (large enough to cover a whole human chest) and the repeating lines in the feather pattern. 2. A lot of cultures use gold in jewelry, but this one stood out to me because the lapis lazuli blue stone and red carnelian are such a bold contrast to the gold. 3. The value of this piece is of course in the material itself, but also in the extreme age of the piece, as well as the skill involved in making it. Also, the value is different for the culture that created it - for them, this piece had additional spiritual and religious significance that we may not connect with personally today.

Intervenciónes Textiles by Claudy Tapia Retamal founder of Lanapuerto Collective (WoolPort) of Coquimbo, Chilé (2016)

# data[].attributes.body
FIBER ART/TEXTILES: Claudy Tapia Retamal founded a group of textile artists in her city. They 'yarn bomb' objects in their publicly visible environment like trees, benches, cranes, boats, etc. 1. This work caught my eye at first because of its large scale and bright colors. I love how delightfully friendly and optimistic it looks, like a free friendly gift to the whole community who sees it. as I read more about the artist and her team, I really like how it is a group effort collaboration. the togetherness is amongst the makers, and amongst the viewers. 2. Usually knitting and crocheting by hand is a labor of love. It is historically a hand-craft performed by women for the comfort and economic benefit of their families. It shows warmth and caring, so it makes me feel this work as a gesture of caring and good wishes for the community. 3. The value of this work is in the effort of the artists, it takes a long time to crochet that much surface area! Some yarns can be very expensive and precious material, but the artist has chosen economical varieties here to be able to make larger scale and more affordable work.

# data[].attributes.body
You have to hit this link and watch the video of Monami Ohno making her cardboard sculptures! 1. This work made me stop in my tracks because of its precision and intricate execution. 2. I love how Ohno takes such a common material that is everywhere around us and turns it into such amazing sculpture. I think it's an interesting gender dynamic that she seems to revel in subjects like jets, guns and tanks that stereotypically, young boys often like to draw. 3. cardboard has almost no intrinsic value, but in the hands of this artist, it can be turned into fantastic art. It's all in the vision, tenacity and the acquired skill of the artist.

Snuffbox by                                                                                                                        Mathieu Coiny Fils 1959-60   

# data[].attributes.body
Materials: Gold, enamel, gem stones
This piece catch my eye because of how beautiful the Snuffboxes were skillfully made of gold and embellished with diamonds, enameled decoration, lacquer, and other luxurious materials. By adding these material the value of the boxes was priceless. The gold snuffboxes and boxes decorated with portrait miniatures were prized and frequently given as royal gifts, often to ambassadors or members of the court in lieu of cash payments for their services. In my opinion, because this was considered a royal gift I think it made it more important and valuable. The value wasn't the gold, but it was the significant of it. The box became an important social prop too many. Snuffboxes were also considered highly fashionable accessories, with some merchants advertising new boxes with each change of season. The popularity of snuffboxes extended to all levels of society, and for those who could not afford gold, boxes were produced in less expensive materials such as silver, tortoiseshell, porcelain, or domestically produced lacquer.

# data[].attributes.body
Materials: Stained glass window; vitreous glass paint, enamel paint, silver stain.
This piece catch my eye because this impressive window is one of an extraordinary program of sixty windows made for the Church of the Holy Trinity in New York. I love glass art in churches.  In my opinion, this piece inside the church is to me is very valuable because it's where people come and pray and listen to the word of The Lord. The glass material was inspired by windows that the artist had seen at King’s College Chapel, Cambridge, England. The artist was looking at artists of the Renaissance, Bolton interpreted his Old and New Testament scenes with unusual artistry. For that reason the material the artist used took time and skilled to do. Surmounting the figure, Gothic tracery frames depictions of various musical instruments, lyres, lutes, horns, a drum, and a viol articulated in vitreous glass paint and silver stain on richly colored glass. The church that would rival Trinity Church in Manhattan. With its tall attenuated steeple encrusted with Gothic-style ornament, the church expressed a new spirit and sense of freedom, representing a departure from the ecclesiastical conservatism of Trinity.

Virgin and Child with the Young Saint John the Baptist and Angels by Francois Boucher 1965

# data[].attributes.body
Materials: Oil on canvas
This piece catch my eye because I always had a interest in art that pertains to angels. And now that I'm a mother the symbol of this art, a mother holding her child means so much more in this painting. In my opinion, the details on this oil painting is beyond amazing. The patience and the time it took to make sure it look perfected. Boucher's made sure the piece being painted had a important value to where someone can make a connection to the paining, just as I had. His skill as a history painter is evident in this intimate, meticulously painted devotional image that might at first be mistaken for a pastoral subject. He subtly integrates a casually arranged bunch of grapes, a symbol of the Eucharist, and a lamb, the attribute of John the Baptist, who is envisaged as a little boy draped in an animal skin. The infant Christ’s penetrating gaze, framed by a brilliant aureole of light, lends the painting solemnity and focus.

Out of the Darkness, the Lord Gave Us Light by Thornton Dial 2003

# data[].attributes.body
Materials:  Carpet, cloth, two-part epoxy putty, enamel, and spray paint on canvas on wood.
What catch my eye with this piece was the title of the art. The title has so much meaning behind it. In my opinion this artist painted with a lot of emotions. The value of the piece may not cost much but the significance behind it meant more to the artist. The material itself dominated by shards of black, purple, and blue-green, the fractured surface of this piece suggests the moment of the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe. Many of Dial’s works concern the origin of things. Here, he draws on a line from the Book of Genesis, "And God said, Let there be light and there was light." In his visualization of this divine moment, the three main colors battle for dominance of the composition. One of the oldest veins of art historical thought proposes God as the first artist, the first creator. Dial imagines his own version of the first "image" ever created, the moment when light appears from nothingness.

Relief of the Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus by unknown artist 1264–88

# data[].attributes.body
Materials: Limestone with traces of polychromy and gilding.
This piece catch my eye because the compression of these events into one scene with its complex interweaving of figural masses creates a powerful sculptural statement. In my opinion, this artist had a valuable skill to be able to created something like this. The value behind the craving of each man is so detail and exquisite. The four key events in the final hours of Jesus’ life are dramatically shown here (from left to right) Peter sheathing his sword after severing the ear of Malchus (seated), the high priest’s servant, Jesus miraculously restoring the ear, Judas betraying Jesus with a kiss and Roman soldiers arresting Jesus. In the thirteenth century these barriers often were decorated with extensive narrative themes, especially the Passion, the dramatic final events in the earthly life of Jesus. Because they hindered participation in church rituals by the laity, most European churches eventually eliminated them.

# data[].attributes.body
This oil painting is the most interesting to me because it caught my attention. I think it's a beautiful painting. I love the way Claude Monet painted this painting. What caught my attention was that the people's faces in this painting were kinda blurry. Also I noticed that the son was further back rather than closer to the mom, I thought that was interesting. The value of this painting comes from the concept the artist had in my opinion. This painting is a family portrait, but it wasn't the traditional family portrait where it was formal.

I picked The Goddess Tara out of all my research because I could not stop looking at it. This caught my eye immediately, it's truly beautiful. It is from the Buddhist cultures, the creator is unknown. This was created during the Anuradhapura period. This piece stood out to me because of the design the artist chose, the Goddess tara is the goddess of compassion and protection. The value of this artwork is the idea the artist had. The skill of the artist was impressive in my eyes. I love that the artist adds details of the skirt, it even appears that the skirt is flowy.

This piece stood out the most to me because of the colors the artist chose and how he composed his artwork. I was interested in this specific stained glass work because when I was doing research a majority of the work was related to religion or had multiple people in it. This one only had a single person and seems to be an angel. The value of this object comes from the time and concept from the artist. John started this art piece in 1901 and finished in 1902, so a whole year. He was also one of the first to respond to Japanese art. He cominded those elements with western style of art.

Title: Cat Like Courtship by Thomas Rowlandson, date created: undated 

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this specific work by Thomas Rowlandson because while I was doing my research I didn't find any work similar to it. I also really liked it because it says a lot, such as the facial expressions of the woman and the man shown.  This work also made me think of why the author decided to add cats. I wonder what his thought process was when picking the cats. I thought it was really interesting out of the ones I was looking at that related to pen and ink. The value of this artwork would probably be the idea that the artist had during that time. As we see the woman shown is not interested in the man, her face looks disgusted. The man is trying to get with her.

I thought this piece was super cute, it caught my attention.  The artists add so many details to this piece which is why I loved it out of all the other pieces that were ceramic. I also loved that the artist added so many colors and even added facial expressions to the couple. The value of this piece comes from the material and skill to make this piece. This piece seems difficult to make and has so much detail which requires skill.

GLASS

Made by James Cox, 1766.

This is a golden chariot with a Chinese attendant pushing the other lady.

If you look at the bottom you can see a clock, surrounded by jewels that I believe act as a branch/leafs that extend up. The top kinda reminds me of a carousel and there's pearls hanging off of it.

This piece catched my attention because i really like the detailing ad the whole concept

I have never seen something like this but i like everything about it - the pearls and the color of the jewels.  I think the value of this object comes more from the concept.

WOOD

Martin carlin, 1775

This is an interesting piece because I like how unique it looks compared to tables today.

It has a lot of compartments to it which are all detachable and can be  used for other things.

The mirror can be flipped and used as a book holder, the upper section can be removed and used as a bed holder. Each side has its own shelf for multiple things like utensils.

The whole table is red with gold. It has sideways looking diamonds with a flower in the middle, the legs have a wheel.

I think value comes from every part because there were alot of sections to this piece but each section could be used for another thing since it was either detachable or reversed.

It must have been difficult to come up with something like this that will have use.

OIL PAINT

Vincent van Gogh. , 1889

This painting stood out to me the most from all the other paintings because it has a very deep meaning to it. Aside from that, I like the drawing itself. You can see the sky is a bright blue color filled with stars - the moon on the top right and small villages on the bottom right and a big tree on the left.

I think this was a very important concept to Vincent because at the time he was going through tough times.

Watch in the form of a beetle

ca. 1850–60

This artwork stood out to me since I used to like ladybugs, it reminds me of elementary school because me and my old friends would try to catch them then set them free. So it's just a little memory it reminds me of.

Just like the first piece I chose, it has a clock inside of it, it's red and gold with 2 jewel eyes.

I like when jewels are used in artwork so I'm a fan of any with  them. But

Its cool seeing how clocks used to be put together with other objects; they all look very unique and colorful.

Valentine 1879

The colors and the angel in the middle holding a cornucopia that is dropping out flowers stood out to me. I like how the angel is surrounded by all these nice bright flowers that are different sorts then in the back is a pale- grayish background that is not too colorful so its giving all the attention to the drawing in the middle. This was a cute idea that represents its name “ valentine” is represented by the angel and roses.

Crowned and bejeweled Buddha image and throne Gift from Doris Duke (1912-1996), Crown made by U Win Maung (2002) No info who made original.

# data[].attributes.body
Mostly Gold and Iron: Gift from Doris Duke, Crown made by U Win Maung are the people who have given and made this Crowned and bejeweled Buddha on a throne. It is made out of 20 components of lacquered and gilded wood that fit together , the lacquered and glided wood fit together like a 3D puzzle. 1. This masterpiece really caught my eye because of how detailed and beautiful this masterpiece looked. it was amazing how they used such simple supply and made it into this masterpiece that looks like it is made out of gold with expensive jewels/gems and even diamonds on them. It was so impressive because whoever the person who had made this really, REALLY put so much effort into this giant masterpiece that is huger than a human being. I r was even surprised how no one knew who made this original idea or why they made it, especially how amazing and elegant this masterpiece looked no one knew? It's just here in a museum for people to look at. #2. This artwork was really different form other examples of wood and iron. It was extraordinary because it is hard to carve wood and make this really detailed, also since the creator used iron too was really interesting too since usually iron is hard to shape because it's so hard. The materials they used were a really interesting choice because when you think of wood you think of the long planks from home depot that people would get to build something not to use or carve with so you could make a urge masterpiece like this. Also, when you think of Iron you think of knives or just any cutting tool not to shape and use to make a piece or artwork. #3. I really think that the value of this artwork comes from the time and effort the creator put into it. I think it really stand out because you can tell how much effort and time it takes to set up or take down. It's not like just having one whole build of thus artwork and you just set it up on a display. you really have to take the time and effort to make sure all your pieces are put in the right place to make this masterpiece.

Monet: The Water Lily Pond - Google Arts & Culture By: Claude Monet (1899)

# data[].attributes.body
Oil Paints: Artist Claude Monet had made this very beautiful and elegant piece of artwork. #1 When he made this piece of artwork the art almost looks blurry in a way, he had achieved this by doing large brush strokes and putting very little detail into it. You might be a bit confused because it looks like he put a lot of detail into it but he really didn't he just combined different colors with large brush strokes and blending them out to make it look detailed. This was one of the things that really just caught my eye because of how detailed it looked even though it doesn't have that much detail, this is how he created impressionism. By using big brush strokes and not putting to much detail into it even though it looks like he put a lot of detail into it. #2 I really do think this is one of the most interesting and better examples of the use of oil paints because when you use oil paints you would most likely put a lot of detail into it. For example, The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh you can see more detailed and smaller brush strokes, as for Claude Monet he had used more bigger and bold brush strokes which I find really interesting how he was the first one to create impressionism too! I think he art work is very unique because of his style of art.#3 The value of this artwork comes from the ideas and concept the artist had because they had created a new type of artwork call impressionism, impressionism today I believe is very popular and common.

Watts Towers (mosaic panel) by Sabato (Simon) Rodia

# data[].attributes.body
Concrete: Made by - Sabato Rodia had made this Public Art on a concrete wall. #1 This art had really caught my eye because I have never seen anyone do this before. As I was looking at it I was confused what he was trying to do or why he did it. But either no matter why he did it or what it meant it was really interesting to look at because he different types of shapes in a way. Also the colors really popped out and his color selections didn't look like Rodia had a specific color theme he just went with whatever he wanted to do if he had a color on him he would use it no matter if it matched or not he just used it, this art was a really colorful work of art which I think is really cool. #2 I think this is one of the amazing examples of what you could do with concrete since it's so plan and it's color is so plain he was able to make it look more interesting. After all, life can be a little plain sometimes so you add some spice to it and it could do wonders. Like how Rodia did he took something that you probably see daily in your life that is boring and turned it into something special and more colorful even if it might not make any sense what he was trying to do it was still interesting to look at and think about. #3 The value of Rodia's artwork was mainly form his ideas and concept, he had turned something so plain into something colorful. I do think that even though his art isn't perfect nor did it have a specific meaning to it, it really made some type of sense in his eyes. Maybe Rodia felt that this concrete wall needed to be more colorful or maybe he did it because he was bored and just wanted to do it. I may not know what Rodia was trying to do but I am sure that he know exactly what he was trying to do, and whatever he was trying to do was amazing.

Peonies Blown in the Wind by: John La Farge

# data[].attributes.body
Glass: Made by John La Farge he had made this really fantastic piece of art work on glass. #1. His work had really caught my eye by how colorful it was but also how dark the colors were too. Also, it was surprising how someone could make such a huge piece of glass into something as cool as this! Just look at all the details he had put into this just to make this type of art. Imagine if you messed up what if you had to start over again? This artwork was some impressive I just couldn't resist how beautiful it was and how much effort he had put into this. #2 I think this one of the most impressive examples of how you could use glass and make it into art, the detail, time, effort, and most likely the supply he had used! I know that glass can be included in art but I have not thought about using it and putting so much detail into it. Imagine how big this might be compared to human it might be huge! Also when you think about glass you don't really think about anything special you might just think about your window. But no, That's not the only good use of glass. You could reuse broken glass and make it into art or paint something on glass to make it look more special.
#3. The value of this artwork is form the time and effort he might have had to us in order to create this big piece of art. Imagine having to paint those tiny shapes one by one, terrible wouldn't it be! My hand would've fallen off and my patience would be lost and I would probably just quit. Maybe Farge sleeping and then waking up again just to paint this thing for hours and hours until it is finally finished. That would be hard and what if he broke the glass in the making of this? Would he have to start over again because if I wan him I would've quit. His time and effort he put into making this is really impressive and amazing.

Three Forms - Dame Barbara Hepworth 1935

# data[].attributes.body
Marble: Dame Barbara had made this, you might be wondering how this had caught my eye well. #1I don't image marble to be shaped in such interesting forms. I usually imagine it to be on a countertop or a statue, but this form of art was really interesting. It looks simple but I'm sure it's not since the shapes look so perfect it would've taken a lot of time for Barbara to shape. Also to figure out why she would wanna make marble into this type of shape. But what was really interesting to me was that she had actually hand carved these and that she really liked space, size, and texture, she wanted to eliminate all the color from the marble. She even said that the shapes aren't perfect but to me they actually look perfect. #2. Since this was so interesting I really thought it was one of the most interesting examples of what you could do with Marble instead of using it to make a statue or a countertop she used it to represent what she likes about art and how she liked space, size, and texture. Since she showed another example of how people could be creative with basically anything. her work really standed out to me. #3. Again, I think the value of this art piece is the artists concept/idea. Her work and the reason why she wanted to do this because of space, size, and texture. Which I think is interesting because I don't really see other artists reason why they created their creations and to find someone like her explaining the reason why she did this was great. I think since she explained why she did this and the whole concept of this was one of the main reasons why her art stood out to me. Even though it was simple it had an actual meaning to it, she didn't just do it because she felt like it. She did it because she had a reason to do it.

In 1934 Barbara Hepworth's abstraction based on the human figure gave way to an art of pure form. With such works as Three Forms she reduced her sculpture to the most simple shapes and eradicated almost all colour. She said later that she was 'absorbed in the relationships in space, in size and texture and weight, as well as the tensions between forms'. While the three elements are slightly imperfect in shape, their sizes and the spaces between them are precisely proportional to each other. This reflects her concern with the craft of hand-carving and with harmonious arrangement of form.

This amazing piece of artwork caught my attention. It’s a glass sculpture with what looks to be an angel engraved. I have never seen a glass sculpture created this way. The detail is immaculate. It sits on a bronze base wrapped with electric wiring. The woman is nude with large wings, feathers coming out of her head and bird talons perched on arched bow. Another cool part of the design is that it lights up. I’m not an expert but I’m sure it must have taken a long time to design and to create this wonderful piece of art. In my opinion this piece is better than other glass sculptures I have seen. The artists value comes from design and creativity.

So…. This piece of art caught my attention very quickly. If anyone is familiar with Texas chainsaw massacre, then you will notice the may faces of Leather Face. But it’s not. It’s called, First Impression, and it made one on me. It looks so creepy. It’s an Acrylic art created on a canvas with chicken bones and colored threads. This is considered contemporary art. The chicken bones add a valued dimension of weird and its what makes it interesting to me. Each chicken bone is wrapped in threads and attached to the canvas. It’s an intriguing piece art and who knew something this creepy would be so interesting. The artist took a lot of time in drawing each facial expression and it shows in his work. This piece of art definitely deserves to be put in a museum as it's different and creative.

I have seen this piece of art in movies and always wondered what it was called or where its located. “The Thinker” has many different versions across the globe. There is a version of the thinker at the fine arts museum in San Francisco. The first time I’d ever seen this statue was in the movie, night at the museum, and that’s why it caught my eye. I always thought the statue was created out of stone, but in fact it’s, created out of bronze. Bronze sculpting is a long process with a lot of pieces that must be put together to make into a masterpiece. I find it interesting that the image of the thinker is set to symbolize philosophy. During this time period philosophers where the go to for advice on anything and thats why in my opinion they created a statue to honor their efforts. The value of this artwork is why it was created as it was to inspire philosophy.

This vase reminded me of one of my favorite movies, Troy. The details from the artwork resembles one of the battle scenes from the movie and that’s what got my attention. I wonder if the movie created the battle seen from this piece of art. This vase was created about 500-480 B.C., and it’s crafted beautifully. It's rareity gives it so much value. It is said that the images displayed are from a one-on-one combat duel amongst heroes in the Trojan War. The artistry back then was amazing despite what little tools or resources were available. I give a lot of credit to the artist back then. I believe the artists back then were the pioneers and led the way to our current art platform as without them we couldn’t have any sculptures, or art pieces. It’s pretty neat to be able to see parts of history preserved and displayed for everyone to see and enjoy. In my opinion this is one of the best displays on a vase I have seen and the detail is exceptional.

This piece of art is something I would purchase and keep forever. The illustrated woodcut piece is something that I enjoy doing to my wife which is kiss her softly on her neck. When I saw this piece, my eyes popped like a balloon and brought back some nice moments. It seems so calming and soothing. Woodcut art is one of the oldest forms or printmaking. It’s also an intricate process which involves knives, chisel, gouge, carving, tracing, and ink which makes time consuming and difficult. The artists are very skilled and must be very detailed when carving, if not, they must do it again. In my opinion this is one of the better wood art pieces I have seen. For me it is very valuable because I feel like I can personally connect to it and connected art is priceless.

History Refused to Die By Thornton Gates

# data[].attributes.body
This piece caught my eye because it looked organized yet messy at the same time. A lot was happening, but not too much to were it wasn't nice enough to look at. I think it was just enough of everything so naturally I kept staring at it. I personally like what Thornton did with the materials. To tell a story and really represent the name of the piece. I think they perfectly suit each other. He used torn and stained clothing, wire and orka stalk and roots. These roots represent the roots of culture and history of Africa. I feel like the material was really being used to its fullest and being represented well. I believe the value of the items are still there but the whole concept and idea that Gates had made it even better. I feel like it emphasizes the whole story by 100. I feel like I am really able to connect and see more of the story with the piece.

This piece caught my eye because I saw a woman laying down in a river. I felt concerned yet she looked kind of at peace. I also was drawn to the surroundings of the piece. I liked the green and floweres shes holding. I feel like this is more interesting because it doesn't really look like oil paint. I feel like the whole concept holds the most value. I think when loiking at this you can't help but wonder about the woman. Is she okay? How did she get there? Whats the back story? Did she drown? She somehow looks peaceful? After reading the story behind this piece I really feel like it was represented well. She slips and falls into the river while picking flowers. She then allows herself to die in the river because of her fathers murder. She seems to finally be free and away from all of the grief and hatred of the cruel world. I think it represents that pretty well.

I guess you can say this is a found object because the materials that were made to create this artwork are teeth from walrus ivory and whales. This artwork caught my eye because I saw the chess board and I really enjoy playing chess. When I saw the chessboard I clicked on this artwork then I found out that is was created by the teeth of walrus ivory and whales, which is extremely interesting to me. I think that this art piece is valuable because of the type of materials used to create this piece.

This piece caught my eye because I saw another person coming out of another person. It really just made me wonder. I think this piece is more interesting than any other piece in my opinion because it makes you question it. I feel like any piece that makes you question and think is very interesting. At first when I saw this piece I thought of astral projecting, lucis dreaming, and shifting. I didn't really thing of dying although I feel like a lot of people wouldn't thought of that first. I feel like it being made of glass can contribut a lot to the meaning but the concept as a whole is a lot too. If the person coming out of the one laying down wasn't made out of glass I feel like the meaning could've been different.

This piece caught my eye because the podium was upside down. I would sya this piece is more interesting than the rest because of the message it is sending. I don't think the spray paint had much to do with it because you should create this image with anything really. I just really like the meaning behind it. Like even if people are numbered or placed at the end of the day we are all the same. No one should be treated different because of a number they were given. Everyone is the same.

What first caught my eye was that something looked wrong. This animal had four legs and a tail and yet looked like a human. It had two sets of ears and smiled just like a human. It confused me so I was naturally drawn to it. I feel like it being ceramic helped a little bit. Being compared to something like it being drawn on a piece of paper I feel like it is better as a ceramic piece. I think its more interesting than any other piece because it was actually strange. I couldn't really wrap my head around it. I thought that there could be so many meanings to it. What made me wonder even more was that we don't really know who made it.

Simon Bening is famous for illuminated manuscripts and his art related to the renaissance time. Thus, there are many arts of him recording the picture of society during his time, this art catch my eyes because of the central woman. As I scrolled through his art, I observe most of the pictures contain violent acts such as torturing, killing, capturing. However, This art contains many seven smaller squares surrounding the central female; moreover, the detail of each picture is linked together as a story, in my opinion. I feel like this picture is telling me seven painful hurts that the women inside the picture had to suffer through, and all seven events turned into a sharp knife that pointed toward the woman who sit in an acceptable position as she was ready to take that seven knife.

In the center of the miniature, the Virgin sits on the ground with seven swords piercing her, each symbolizing one of the events related to Christ that brought her sorrow. The theme of the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin was meant to draw the viewer into Mary's thoughts and feelings as she reflected on her son's life and death. Moving clockwise from the bottom right around the central image, small narrative scenes represent the seven episodes: the Presentation in the Temple, the Flight into Egypt, the Dispute in the Temple, the Way to Calvary, the Crucifixion, the Lamentation, and the Entombment.

1. From Vietnam. Pouring vessel. From Stoneware with cobalt decoration underglaze

The shape of this vessel caught my eyes immediately as I was looking at this art, ceramic is not new to us since these materials were used millions of years ago. During the feudal era, many Asian kings and queens used many materials made from ceramic with artist detailing which make these pots become more valuable over time. In this pot, it’s symmetric when two birds are placed on both sides of the vessel, artist also uses a bond/line structure to decorate the top and the surroundings of the vessel.

1. By Margot Glass from gold acrylic on cradled panel, painted black.

This is so unique because only combines two simple colors which highlight the lighter color upon the darker; however, by looking at the detailing of this art, the details look so real and intense if you look closer at the leaf, I can see the detail the leaf as well.

The most interesting is, the picture that he painted is also a combination of many different plants together but does not distinguish it from others. I love the way he organize these plants and related it together that make the painting didn’t feel sporadic, it’s feel alive in these plants.

Bronze - a classic material same as ceramic which makes the number of arts made by bronze become enormous such as rings/ bell/ Buddha Statue and so on. However, as I was looking for my favorite, I saw this. I stop by the time it caught my attention. In my opinion, it looks like the human upper body by looking in the back not the front of it. I like the way the artist melted down a metal can linked them together as art!

To me, the material, the shape, the color, and the ideas of the art blended together which make this more valuable.

Perhaps the most influential artist of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso may be best known for pioneering Cubism and fracturing the two-dimensional picture plane in order to convey three-dimensional space. Inspired by African and Iberian art, he also contributed to the rise of Surrealism and Expressionism. Picasso's sizable oeuvre grew to include over 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures,ceramics, theater sets, and costume designs. He painted his most famous work, Guernica (1937), in response to the Spanish Civil War; the totemic grisaille canvas remains a definitive work of anti-war art. At auction, a number of Picasso's paintings have sold for more than $100 million. The indefatigable artist has been the subject of exhibitions at the world's most prestigious institutions, from the Museum of Modern Art and Centre Pompidou to the Stedelijk Museum and Tate Modern.

This is " Memory Test" In this work, Pindell adhered hundreds of dots punched out of brightly painted sheets of paper to painted supports, adding scraps of punched paper, painted nails, and even a plastic toy monkey. This painting/ Art work caught my eye because of its vibrant colors and the many holes in had made it unique in every way especially how she used balance and color to make it pop out . I decided to use this piece in my opinion because I feel not alot of artists use this type of craft materials in their work especially plastic .I found it very hard to find artist incorporating plastic in their artwork throughout the websites. I think this object is valued by its concept/idea rather than the objects themselves , because it definitely took time skill and difficulty of abstract to know where to place pins.

This Wooden Dresser like material is a Piece known as "Carlton" Room Divider. The piece calls into question conventional furniture forms by combining a space divider, bookcase, and chest of drawers. While reading the description it pointed out to me the little man at the top of the sculpture looks like he is standing over or taking over the sculpture. This piece honestly caught my eye because of the odd counterintuitive shapes as if they are falling off of the sculpture. I really liked how the artist incorporated drawers and wood to bring out the depth of his work. This piece is very interesting to me compared to other wooden art because of the color vibrance within just everyday things of wood for our drawers which makes it possible for anything to become an art piece. For this art piece I feel the value comes from material itself as it can eb portrayed in someone's home who is a gamer which I can see it being very valuable for someone who likes the abstract concept.

Over a landscape painted in enamel directly onto the glass, the figures of a lady and gentlemen dressed as shepherd and shepherdess have been heat-fused onto the glass bowl, enamel over a foundation of gold wire, to create a relief effect. This Glass in particular caught my eye due to its intricate detailing around the whole outer space of the glass and leaves room for the class and elegance, along with the feeling of aesthetics. I feel this glass piece was more interesting opposed to the other beautiful pieces that used glass as well in their art. This piece here bring nature and an art canvas to a very spherical nature. The value of the art composed in this work is skills and difficulty as the material lookee to have been a lengthy process, in my opinion.

This Photograph here called [The Wilderness Battlefield] --This photograph not only says a million words, but it carries many emotions. The tress in the dark and ash looking atmosphere represent sadness and fear. Printed from negatives that were probably unintentionally solarized during development in the field, the photographs appear illuminated by an unearthly light and are, in part, tonally reversed: the black sky becoming an appropriate symbol for the terrible place called Wilderness, second only to Gettysburg in the number of Union killed, wounded, and missing. This piece caught my eye as I seen that it represent a time in history that is never forgotten but always feared. It also caught my attention by having a authentic look to the trees the fragile twigs forming from the ground and the contrast of the leaves and the sky. The value comes from the material itself and its concept of history and the representation of nature and how it could reflect a lot of what happens on earth.

This abstract beautiful painting/ spray painting is When the cutouts were removed, the unpainted paper color was revealed, silhouetted against a halo of spray paint. DS 1958 is one of the first studies of this type to be made and displays Smith's experimentation with different media. Here, he sprays metallic paint over the enamel for a shimmering painterly effect. This is widely used throughout paint today. Many San Francisco street artists like to use their art by creating stencils and making universe and galaxies of their art in the form of spray paint. I really like David Smith and his type of art outlook on his use of shapes and abstract looks to create the emphasis of the shapes . This piece caught my eye for its black and white colors being used and how he is using negative and positive aspects in this work presented. I feel this piece in my opinion was interesting for its use of negative and positive space. I also really like how he incorporated shapes in the use of scales in a random way. I believe the value of his art comes form the concept being used.

I was drawn to the movement the sculptor Camille was able to achieve using such a dense material. I did not know until I started reading that the artist was actually Rodin's understudy. I am very drawn to Rodin's work so her being his understudy is quite interning that I like her work too. I think this piece is very valuable but because there was a few reproductions of this same piece I think that would make it less valuable. It is still priceless in my book though.

Camille Claudel's experience as a studio assistant to Auguste Rodin gave her the opportunity to study the nude figure and develop a profound understanding of anatomical nuances.

"Young Girl with a Sheaf" depicts a seated young woman leaning against a sheaf of wheat. Claudel emphasized the firmness of the girl's flesh against a roughly modeled background. The figure's head twists toward the right while she draws her right arm close to her body and crosses her knees. The pose emphasizes her modesty by denying overt sexuality. The girl's position is also compelling from different angles and allows Claudel to capture the tension that underlies this awkward stance.

By specializing in small-scale sculpture, Claudel built a following of private collectors and created multiple editions to meet demand. She produced several versions of "Young Girl with a Sheaf," including one in terra cotta and a series of 12 cast in bronze (this example is the eighth). Claudel gained renown for exercising direct control over the process of casting her sculptures in bronze. She underscored the technical aspect of the artist's hand at a time when most artists still relinquished the clay model to specialized artisans.

This is what women style was like for women's formal day ware in the early 1760's. This was probably worn by a super rich person because it was so intense to construct. The pattern is hand painted on silk made from China and drawn free hand in ink and silverpoint. There is a lot of different pigments so that makes this dress even more expensive to make. Since it was brought from China to show off in England I am sure it made it very valuable and desired for its time.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This elegant robe and petticoat are fine examples of a woman's formal daywear in the early 1760s. In cut, fabric and design they were the height of fashion. The pattern on the silk is hand-painted. The fabric was first sized with alum to make the paint adhere. Next the design was drawn freehand in ink or silverpoint. A variety of pigments were used, including white lead or a chalk ground for the highlights. The robe and petticoat are hand sewn with silk thread and trimmed with gathered strips of the hand-painted silk.

The style and design of this ensemble exemplify the Rococo fashion in dress. The white silk painted in a variety of bright colours reflects the Rococo palette, while the scalloped sleeve cuffs and gathered robings create a decorative surface pattern. The robe is a sack back (a style of gown with the fabric at the back arranged in box pleats at the shoulders and falling loose to the floor with a slight train), and would have been worn with a wide square hoop under the petticoat.

The silk was woven and painted in China. The width of the fabric and the use of coloured threads in the selvedge (the fabric edge) differ from European silks. The floral pattern shows the influence of Western design, indicating that it was made expressly for the European market.

Due to the history of porcelain's cultural spread from China to Europe, there are many different connotations and interpretations that a person could assign to any work using this material. In this case, I think that Lee does a wonderful job of showing this transfer by using Asian porcelain creation techniques to readapt both Korean and European myths and stories. 1. The addition of gold and other precious metals on top of Lee's efforts to show a cross-cultural story add an underlying economic layer to her works that initially caught my eye due to the depths she created. 2. For this reason, Lee's drive to use an Asian artistic medium to tell stories with Western morals adds another dimension to her work above the past use of porcelain for purely aesthetic purposes. Lee uses this material in order to critique and analyze how it came to be, which is why I think that her works are some of the best in porcelain arts. 3. Overall, while it might seem like the precious metals that she uses may add the most value to her work, the concepts she embeds in them are ultimately what make pieces like this so important.

Cardboard is generally seen as a worthless or transitionary material that serves no real purpose on its own, although this view is challenged by Dylan Shields as he recreates scenes from Greek myths using only cardboard. 1. This piece caught my eye because of the amount of care put into making cardboard seem like a polished stone material as would be traditional for sculptures depicting religious figures or myths. The value of the work no longer comes from the material used, but rather from the story itself. 2. Since Shield's attempted to mold cardboard into a facade of a different material with the intention of challenging economic and cultural value in art, his works are an excellent example of what could b done with cardboard. 3. The purpose of Shield's work is to highlight how the material of cardboard itself has no real value, but rather the effort put into transforming it, making it a new creation with a new and higher value as well.

Stone marble: The Farnese Table. It was designed by Jacopo "Giacomo" Barozzi de Vignola. This artist is Italian, the maker carved by pier Guglielmo Della Porta and by the Farnese palace under his supervision. From 1500- to 1582.
The most interesting thing about this particular material is that there is many relatable items/materials with the same exact culture. The reason why this image caught my eye is because of how much Italian, Rome is expressed on this table. This piece is interesting because of its visual appearance. This table looks just like a bench. This bench looking object is actually a table in my point of view the fact that it makes it exceptional is that people hand carved this bench. The idea that the artist had about the Farnese Table was very well put together. But the Value of this object has increased to how long it has survived. The original carvings with zero defects are why the value is high.

This particular material was one of the most interesting ones because when looking at modern microscope they are definitely much more efficient and up to date.  The reason why this piece caught my eye is because of the fact that I have used a microscope in school, and they definitely don't look like that anymore. Yes, this piece is much more interesting compared to others that are similar because of how well maintained they are. The acceptable color way of this microscope is very unique when compared the difference is unbelievable. I definitely do think, more of the value of this object comes from the material itself, the concept of maintaining and how the artist had, the time, skill, and difficulty.

1.  The title is called Appeal to the Great Spirit. the creator Cyrus Edwin Dallin.  Date Created from 1912, cast 1922

2. In the following sentences I will be paragraphing explaining why I think this is the most interesting piece. When images like this show up, I usually believed that the Indians where always the bad people in the movie. This piece caught my eye because horses are one of the most majestic animals on the planet. In my opinion I think a small masterpiece like this checked of my requirements. This is made out of bronze. From the looks of it this piece has a lot of value. This was made from the migration that the Paiutes and Shoshone. This important event influenced artist Cyrus to create such a valuable piece.

Dallin lived among the Utes while Utah was being settled by the Mormons and the Pacific Railroad was being completed. After extended periods of conflict, the Utes (Paiutes and Shoshone) were forced onto reservations. In this bronze, Dallin looked back to that period and reconstructed a sympathetic tribute to the memory of the ignoble treatment of a proud people. The composition won a medal in 1909 at the Paris Salon.

1. The information for this piece includes the artist john Bernar Flannagen, the title is called "Figure of Dignity- Irish Mountain Goat". This sculpture is made up of granite, and cast aluminum, on concrete plinth. This piece of work was funded and gifted by a man named Alexander Shilling back in 1941.
2. The interesting part about why I thought this art piece is attractive. The idea of making the goat stand on his hind feet just like a human can mean anything. The way that the mountain goat is standing gives me the impression that he is looking out at something in the distance. The reason why I think this piece is interesting than the other ones found is for its visual appearance. All most mimicking a life size goat. The material used is mostly concrete which is a smart choice for making such power piece. Everything about this peace is exceptional but adding color could have been added. Overall, very appealing. The value that this art piece can vary from a high or really low number. The fact that it was a gift its value can only cost so much. My highest bet is $200

1. The artist was Doris Duke Charitable. The title of this art piece is called Crowned and bejeweled Buddha. The year this was created was approx. 1860-1880. This can only be found in "Foundations Southeast Asian art.

2. This sample is probably one of the interesting things I have ever written about. Being about to learn about other cultures is great. This art piece was mad out of wood, iron, with lacquer, gilding, and mirrored glass. Although in the image this looks really tall, and its shiny gold is probably what caught my attention. Yes, although this piece is made of similar material it still has much more fragile stuff like that glass. Personally, I have never seen one of this in person, but the color theme and its material use is acceptable. The value this throne has is unmeasurable due to the throne belonging to the country's religion. The importance that this throne has to its religion is priceless, but its value is worth to be crown royalty.

1. One of the reasons this art work caught my eye was the game of chest. Its kind of funny because I was looking through some of the art from the provided links while 2 of my friends where playing online chest.
2. This piece in my opinion is better than other examples of found art because of how strange of a choice of material. I was originally gonna write this as Wood material when I realized the material was actually

walrus ivory. I assume this sort of material is hard to obtain and the way he was able to carve the chess figure is really amazing.

3. I do believe that the choice of material in this case Walrus ivory does does give the aft work more value. I also believe it must have been harder to carve such details with the walrus ivory over wood.

1. The reason this art work caught my eye was because of the artist, I can always recall her being mentioned in any art class or Spanish class how she used unique  and powerful colored self-portraits that dealt with themes of identity, the human body, and death.
2. This piece in my opinion is better than other examples as she is a well know artist whos self portrays are iconic and in a way what art is. Her fame supports her credibility and I believe that her Oil Painting is a good example for the material Oil Paint.
3. For this art work i don't believe the material used to create it is what gives the art work value but the beliefs and identity Frida shows in her self portraits. Her idea behind the oil painting is what gives the art work value.

2. This piece in my opinion was better than the other wood examples provided because its a mask. I thought the wooden bowls looked nice but the mask looked bazar and scary.
3. For this art work I don't believe the material gives the art work a lot of value. I do think that the idea behind the mask, the culture the mask is apart of, and the skills to carve the mask is what make its value.

1. This art piece's history is what caught my attention, I skimmed through other sculpture and notices the many different small details which looked impressive.
2. What mad this aft piece more interesting than the other example of bronze material art was the detail in the body of this male. Carving Wood compared to detailing bronze seems much more difficult so I figured this was good example.
3. I believe the value of this art piece is more behind the idea the artist was showing although the value is also with the material as it takes a lot of skill to detail and shape something from Bronze.

1. What caught my about this art work was the details as well as how the image on fabric looked.
2. This art piece is more interesting than the other textiles I saw on the resources because of the detail in every braided tread its almost impossible to believe the detail on this fabric was all mad of braided treads.
3. I do believe the material has to do with its value but its mainly the skill used with the material as creating the braided fabric with such detail is very difficult. I also thing the idea behind this textile is also what give the art work its value.

This piece was created using only cut-out black paper, resulting in a super thin and heavily detailed piece by Aoyama that I think shows the extent to which paper arts can reach. 1. Due to how hard it can be to handle a thin and flimsy material like paper without breaking, Aoyama's work caught my eye due to the time and effort she puts into making these skilled pieces come to life. 2. As a result, her work shows a mastery of effort into working with paper that I think makes it all the more intriguing. Everything from planning out a piece to the execution has little room for error, which Aoyama manages to navigate seamlessly. 3. Since paper is a relatively easy material to come across, Aoyama's skill in creating these cut-outs is what truly adds value to her work since the things that she creates cannot be replicated easily and must be handled with care to avoid breaking them.

An Angel By My Bedside by Billie Zangewa (2020)

# data[].attributes.body
Zangewa creates handstitched silk pieces that depict moments of daily life, particularily emphasizing moments of intimacy and love between different people. 1. This piece has cut out pieces from the background and detailed work on the woman in bed that all call to many artistic choices being made. I personally love to try and figure out the reasoning behind the choices I see, so this kind of work was fascinating to me. 2. Due to the time-consuming nature of sewing as well as its integration into creating such a detailed piece, I think that Zangewa shows a personal and talented take on textile arts through pieces such as this one. 3. As for the value of this piece, I believe it mostly comes from a combination of the concept and the time put into it. Zangewa's attempt at showing an intimate longing from this woman combined with the sheer amount of time it must have taken to stitch this piece together all speak of a dedicated and intense love that makes this piece a powerful work.

One-Way Colour Tunnel by Olafur Eliasson

# data[].attributes.body
This piece by Eliasson seeks to integrate his interest with human perception with his art, resulting in large acrylic glass pieces such as this one that are designed to have viewers walk through and experience the colors shown for themselves. 1. Due to the scale and the aesthetic attractiveness of this piece, it caught my eye easily. I unfortunately missed this while it was in an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, but I still think that the images online are beautiful. 2. The fact that Eliasson knew about the fact that all people percieve differently and created a piece such as this one to emphasize these small differences is a wonderful take that creates a unique experience for both the artist and the viewer. 3. Here, both the materials used and the effort put into assembling all of these different pieces make this piece a financially valuable work, although I think that the intent of highlighting differences in perception and thus creating a new individual interpretation for each person makes this emotionally valuable as well.

The Akua'ba was created in the 1900s to 1914s by Asante and was used by women as a fertility charm.

This sculpture is named Young Tarentine, and it was made in 1871 by Alexandre Schonewerk. This sculpture was about a young girl who was on a ship, she sang songs and later was led back to her lover. The most interesting part of this sculpture is the amount of detail that was put on it. The reason I liked this sculpture was that you could put this much detail on such a hard material.

The first piece of work I chose was this cupid sculpture carved out of stone/marble in 1876. I chose this certain piece, truly because at the first look is was really cute. Once I got to reading more, and looking a bit deeper, I noticed more interesting details about. For example, this is meant to be a sculpture of a baby, but he has he has a grown-man looking face. I also was not expecting this to be carved in 1876! Very cool.

This is an oil painting and that was my second material I chose. This painting stood out to me because of the detail in the reflection of the water. At first, I thought it was a couple but then with further investigation it is fur traders, two men.

This is a table I found made out of oak wood. This is a perfect example of functional art from the 1700's. If you look further into the piece, it has hand painted details all across the top and the gold petal around the corners and down the legs. The hollowed out legs that can still maintain the weight is very interesting to me. When you open the drawer, there is also a mirror and more hand painted details. Simply said, I think it is very beautiful.

This is a stained glass window in a Gothic Cathedral in Austria. This piece could be considered both glass art and a mosaic. Initially, this was fascinating to me because of the division of the glass and the bright colors of the glass. I love bright colors and this immediately jumped out at me. I consider this to be portraying a single scene, when I read it explained how vertical and horizontal sections of the piece tell different stories. Very powerful especially when you look at each person's expressions along with the bright colors. A bit mind-boggling to me, which is also really cool!

Armor Garniture, by Hans Holbein the Younger (German, Augsburg 1497/98–1543 London)

# data[].attributes.body
Steel and Gold: This armor garniture attracted my attention for its use of gold for a steel suit of armor. Another reason it caught my eye is that I can tell a suit of armor such as this one is handcrafted and not machine manufactured as modern-day protection. I can see when zoomed in on the floral line and the number of symbols that mark this suit have taken perhaps months to years to craft a suit of art. This armor garniture got more focus than others for while others are one-piece or half of the set, this suit of armor is an entire set that shows how much the designer put into it. I guess the use of gold garnered my attention as well as gold isn’t a common material to waste and the use to coat this suit with the amount of symbolism on it speaks dedication and precision. While the gold is pleasant to look at, the purpose of a suit made not only for form but function as well for King Henry VIII of England, is what had my interests. The design of the etching and gliding places can be attributed to its designer that it would stand out among more common versions. Being the earliest surviving Greenwich garniture, an armor passed down Galiot de Genouilhac’s descendants saw the suit from 1500 to the present in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Lotus, by Chang Dai-chien (Zhang Daqian; Chinese, 1899 - 1983)

# data[].attributes.body
Pen and Ink: This paper painting of the “Lotus” caught my eye for beautiful realism that made me feel as though I wasn’t looking at a paper painting for a second. Illusion and trickery of the Lotus painting fooled my eyes as if it was alive with its contrasting colors with the lotus helping a sense of emotional balance and purity with its bright color as opposed with its darkened colors around it. I think I chose this ink painting over the others, perhaps the themes that were used as well as what shapes were such as flowers along with what appears to be grass and bushes. What I found exceptional is how Chang combined the usage of light and dark colors and somehow created this symbolism and meanings the lotus carries. The darker colors when looked at give that feeling of unease and looking at certain angles, seem to have faces of despair or agony, further giving the dark vibe. The precision of Chang's strokes with the ink tells me how much patience and skill they put while minimal to no errors points to complete. I think the value of the art is perhaps how the painting shows how the purity of lotus can emerge from the dark colors that represent darkness and corruption and spring forth anew with life. An image of yin and yang, a painting of balance through ink has shown in its meaning that in darkness, light can find a way and this lotus can teach me how and more!

Ceramic: This piece of pottery by Exekias fascinates me as a sculpted piece of ceramic can hold much history on it and outlast the time it was made and reach itself to modern hands as a significant piece of history itself. A small reason as to why this caught my eye is that I’ve always felt that Romans and Greeks make the artwork a top priority and so had well-versed artists. The significance of the pottery has captured my thoughts as Achilles slaying the Amazon warrior Penthesilea. The texts and inscription are hard to understand, I can tell they help further reveal and amplify the image on the pottery. It amazes me that despite degradation and the amount of time that has passed from the time it was made, it withstood time and found itself in good condition in the present. Why I chose this particular piece was unlike many that list their image and become dull and lifeless art pieces, this Amphora survives with little damage. I find the value for a common piece of pottery to carry a historical moment to be one of its features preferred over the many. Crafted and signed by Exekias with the number of artistic details and inscriptions shows the amount of time it took to make this contribution as a painter.

Sash/Belt, formerly owned in the collection of William M. Fitzhugh (1853-1929, a San Francisco collector)

# data[].attributes.body
Fiber/Fabric/Textiles: While not able to find the identity of the person who made this sash/belt, I can speak truthfully that this piece of clothing caught my eye for its careful use of cloth to form the shapes it has. Another thing why it caught my eye was I can guess it was handmade since long before machines did the job for us. I chose this piece for it was far more preserved and practically in good condition despite the slight small tears and dullness of its color. I picked this sash/belt over other items similar to it for how its usage of color pleasantly goes well with shapes woven into the clothing. I find it exceptionally amazing how something that could be man-made has such precise shapes that they don’t clash in the wrong way! I think that the value of the sash/belt is perhaps the sentimental worth to those who made it, nothing fancy like gold or jewelry to twist its honest story. The amount of work and precious to craft this handmade woven sash/belt can convey the number of emotions its original owner put into and to see it in good condition shows me the amount of care each owner gave to it. An accessory of Diné (Navajo) culture, shows it giving up extravagant materials for common clothes can speak the number of stories it carries.

Bal du moulin de la Galette, by Auguste Renoir (1876)

# data[].attributes.body
Oil Paint: This oil painting by Galettes amazes me on how lifelike the painting can become and how it plays with our human perception. This oil painting caught my eye as the characters in the painting felt so real that they were alive and this painting almost tricked me on how realistic I became the longer I kept looking at it. I picked this painting out of the rest as it's soothing and normal to look at, unlike the rest of the pieces that show strange materials and or are close to indecent the characters can become! I preferred this art piece because it is by far the most natural to admire and normal in comparison to the artist's more daring and aggressive paintings to the calming artwork. I find this oil painting exceptional for how this piece of art can inspire memories of good times and advocate ideas of celebration. I believed the value of Bal du moulin de la Galette is probably the amount of diversity and made it so there are various sights and activities. I can see how each character was made with details from those closest to those in the distance, each had the painter give time for all of them to make it so each one is unique and not just copies of the same template with brightly colored brushstrokes. This art portrait of Parisian life, with its creative style and impressive usage of oil and brushstrokes, shows Renoir’s masterful art skills and is one of the first of many Impressionism art.

Paint: One of my all time favorite artists is Vincent Van Gogh and this painting of the sunflowers is my favorite piece by him. This painting was one of his most famous pieces and was created in Arles, south of France, in 1889. This artwork caught my eye because it looks to me that each flower is showing a different meaning. For example, the bottom flowers are turned upside down as if they are dead. The three top flowers are bundled together and thriving showing that they are alive. This painting stands out to me because of the fine detail that Van Gogh uses to make it have a rustic look.

This pitcher by Christopher dresser caught my eye because of its unique rose petal like shape. I think that the layers to the cup are really cool and I'm curious to how they accomplished that. I feel like the gold accents really tie everything together. I think the value with this piece comes with the skill and difficulty. I believe it would take some time to line up the glass like that.
