What caught my eye about this piece was the area. It looks like the artist found a space that already had paint on it and spray painted over it. I love how the background makes you focus on the art. What is exceptional about this artwork is that it is in an conventional area. The value of this art comes from difficulty of the area the artist chose to put his artwork.

This piece is from Egypt and was apart of the Thutmose the third reign. These sandals were funeral equipment belonging to one of three wives of Thutmose the third. The sandals are made of thin gold sheets.
What caught my eye about this piece was the sandals itself. I was shocked to see sandals made of gold. The material made this piece breathtaking. The value comes for the gold. Also comes from making the gold into sandals. Those sandals must be worth a fortune.

Title: Cosmetic Box with a Swivel Top

Period: New Kingdom

Dynasty: Dynasty 18, early

Date: ca. 1550–1458 B.C.

Geography: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Asasif, Courtyard CC 41, Pit 3, Burial B 4, Between head of coffin and wall, MMA excavations, 1915–16

Medium: Ivory, Egyptian Blue

This egyptian cosmetic box is small but it is its simplicity that I was drawn to because I know ivory is difficult to obtain and this box was made from it.  It is a small round shaped box with a pegged lid which allows it to swivel open. With fine zig-zag lines and a floret pattern carved onto the lid. This shows the artisan was skilled for the particular reason that it takes special attention to be able to carve precise lines you have to be a skilled craftsmanship. It’s a skill, but also an art. It is a beautiful artifact made from ivory. No, this piece was not better than the other pieces I chose because of the simplicity and the material alone is its value.

Media/Materials: Hide, cotton cloth, silk ribbon, glass bead/beads, metal cones, wool yarn

Techniques: Overlay beadwork, ribbonwork appliqué, sewn

Place: Oklahoma; USA

Date created: circa 1850

The creator of this bag was able to convey the cultural identity by using the layered elaborate colored design fabrics made with cotton, silk, wool, and glass beads associated with the American Indian culture. It is obvious this bag represents the background and heritage in relation to their life.

In my opinion this piece is interesting because as the viewer you can see this piece evokes intimacy in which the creator is conveying. It is obvious this piece has cultural identity and represents a heritage in the use of the fabric is an art which one can appreciate.

Description: Goddess “Statue of Tara”

Object Type: figure

Production date: 8thC (circa)

Found/Acquired: Trincomalee (near)

Production place: Made in: Sri Lanka, Asia: South Asia: Sri Lanka

Materials: bronze & gold

This elegant gilded three-dimensional statue of Tara is an important figure in Buddhism made out of solid cast bronze with jeweled eyes, which represents the cultural heritage of Buddhist.

This piece caught my eye because of the statue's stance with her curvaceous body and the way she is posing with her hands and the huge crown on her head. To me she presents a dominant figure but still with elegance by the way she carries herself and in the hand gestures. I can not compare this piece to the other art work because the meaning it represents is different and the material and the artwork to define the piece is totally in a different realm.

Title: Sunflowers

Creator: Vincent van Gogh

Date Created: January 1889 - 1889

Location Created: Arles, France

Place Part Of: France

Physical Dimensions: w73 cm x h95 cm

Type: Still life - oil painting

Rights: Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation)

External Link: Sunflowers

In Vincent van Gogh’s oil painting of the vase with sunflowers where he used the monochromatic color scheme to differentiate the colors of pigment yellow and binder to create the differences in each petal of the flowers. When you look at it you can see how he identifies the stages of life each sunflower is going through.

I have always had a thing for van Gogh’s art because of his vision and how he is able to articulate his image in the way he uses his colors in the painting to show the stages of life. This takes great skills to be able to execute.

Title: Two Horses

Creator: Xu Beihong

Date: 1944

Type: Chinese ink and color on paper

Creator's Dates: 1895-1953

Xu Beihong's approach to his artwork appears in the realism to depict the horses to be naturalist appearance. The Chinese ink painting captures the symbolic Chinese culture. In this painting, the detail of the individual horse is used with the way Beihong used the shading in the light into dark ink, adding the red ink to the horse on the left and using white space on the horse on the right to separate and make differences.

This piece caught my eye because I love horses, however, it was the simplicity of the painting that I was captivating. I can totally see the horses out on the farm hanging out like that. I think the concept and the skill of the artists to execute the image of real life.

Title: The Twenty-four Jain Teachers

This piece of art drew my eye because of the many images of people in it.

I think the value of this object comes from the concept of the many teachers of the Jain culture placed in the sculpture.

The incredible attention to detail from the shape of the mountain to the picnic in the foreground really speaks to the skill of the artist. The value of this piece comes from the execution of the idea the artist had.

Title: Decanter with Stopper
Artist: Joseph Stouvenal and Brooklyn Flint and Glass Company
Year: 1850-1855
What caught my eye with this decanter is its ethereal blue hue that runs in the glass. This piece is more interesting than other glass works because, in my opinion, the combination of blue and sharp angles that really emphasizes the blue color plating. The painstaking hours to cut diamond shapes in the base without destroying the blue layer must have been very difficult.

Being made of just wood, canvas, and basic painting material, this piece has significantly more value put together as a painting than they would by themselves.

Title: crowned and Bejeweled Buddha Image and Throne.
Artist: Myanmar artisans ca. 1860-1880.
I found this specific piece of wood carving more interesting than other pieces because of its delicate and intricate filigrees with gold and precious gems really makes the piece visually remarkable. More of the value of the object comes from the absolute reverence that this Buddha was made in, given excruciating level of detail on the body and wood leaves that flank it. The amount of time, effort, and skill involved with this artwork must have been immense as it is significant in size and scope.

Tittle: Figure of Dignity - Irish Mountain Goat
Year: 1932
This caught my eye because I found it to be interesting how this sculpture is a goat. I find this art to be exceptional because you would normally see it in a painting or drawing. I believe the value comes from the creative idea of the artist for it to be an animal instead of a human. Also the time it took to sculpture it since it's with concrete. I know it drys pretty fast, and gets stuck to the skin.

Art Illustration by Jason Naylor
"It's summer after all. You're supposed love in summer!!!

This piece caught my eye of Love and diversity in our communities. It represents the symbol of love shared amongst against each other and acceptance in beauty. It shows distinguish in its vibrant color and unique movement of letters. Spray paint to some may not be considered art. But over time people see the passion and uniqueness artist create through spray paint.

Artist: Martin Carlin
Tittle: Small writing desk (bonheur-du-jour)
Year: 1758
This piece stood out to be because it is very old fashion. It is something you will see in the movie titanic. I love how it is very detailed from every edge. I believe the value of this art piece would come by the time that is dedicated and put into. Also procelain is a material that is hard to work with.

It was executed with graphite and watercolor. I was really drawn to the piece because I love fishing and the outdoors. The colors captured the essence of fishing and reminded of the outdoors. This art work is important because of the 3 dimensional look it has. I can tell the artist put a lot of time, effort and creative thinking into it.

Artist: Alvar Aalto
Year: 1936
Name: Savoy Vase
This piece was very interesting to me due to the unique shapes the it shows. The only material uses in this piece is glass and that can easily be identified.  This drew me to the piece even more. The glass is extremely beautiful.

This artwork stood out to me because of how there is still structure standing even though there is ruins all around it. The artist of this artwork got his inspiration for this piece after visiting Greece and seeing the ruins of the Parthenon. This is very inspirational to me because I feel that even though things seem to be falling apart you can still stand tall and be different. The name of this artwork is "The Parthenon" made by Frederic Edwin Church in 1871.

Bowl
British,London Mounts, and Chinese Porcelain
Ca. 1585
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 509

This piece was very intriguing to me by its unique and delicate look of artistry put into it. When researching porcelain pieces there were so many to choose from because they all had so much beauty in them individually. This piece caught my eye, because my grandmother and mother loved porcelain and this piece brought sentiment to me as a family memory and interest in porcelain pieces and the value of such art.

Artist: Austrian (Unknown)
Tittle: Stained Glass Pannel with Queen Kunigunde
Year: 1340- 50
I found this art to be interesting due to the colors the artist used. The color balance makes this art stand out, and also has a pannel windows with different sizes. This art gives me a religious impression, something you will see at a church. The value of this glass piece is that glass can be very delicate and expensive.

The reason why I chose this mosaic artwork is because there is so much going on in this artwork that it attracted me to it. There is a lot of borders around this artwork and different patterns that all go around this picture in the middle. This artwork stood out to me because I like how even though there is so much going on it still does not look all over the place. The title of this artwork is "Mosaic floor panel" made in the second century.

I chose this artwork because it doesn't look like an ordinary pitcher. Most pitchers that you see are straight up but this one is slanted and has wrinkles on it. It tips to one side more to get a good pour out of it. The gold, white, and pink on this pitcher all come together well. The name of this artwork is "pitcher" made by Ceramic Art Company, Trenton, New Jersey in 1889-1906.

Material: Oil Painting

This image is fairly well known and is sometimes shown in the American education system in regard to American Modern Art. It is a striking piece that conveys movement and vibrant, strong colors. It conveys a metallic, mirror-like object in motion quite well, and there are many urban details in the background. The strong use of reds and golds also draw the eye. This piece is unusual, as it also has an accompanying poem (seen above). It holds a lot of value due to still being within copyright and having limited distribution rights, as well as a striking image that conveys American history. I believe a lot of value is held in its technique and style, which were stunning for the time and aged well.

Yulia Brodskaya
Tropical Fish
(No year noted- contemporary art)

A few years ago, I stumbled upon Yulia Brodskaya's art, and I have been a fan of her work ever since. I knew that I wanted to include something of hers when I saw paper as a material. She uses paper in a way that's different from any other artist I've ever seen, and this one in particular has a great sense of movement and the contrasting colors make it very interesting. I highly recommend looking her up because so many of her works are really great, but this fish is the first one that I saw that got me interested in her work, so it's the one I chose to share today. The value of her art comes both from her concepts as well as the skill involved in executing her ideas. Just making the notans was difficult enough. Making something like this out of paper and glue would be next to impossible for me.

This art piece caught my eye because of how the artist put all these colors and different materials. The artist's work does not resemble the Italian work that was made back than. He wanted his work to stand out so he made his different by putting Belgian black marble, semi-precious stones, painted pine, ebonized fruitwood, brass, and gilt bronze on a woodwork. The title of the work is "Marble-top table" made by Theophil Hansen in 1855-1865.

Artist: Cycladic

I found this piece of art to be very interesting although it's a very old piece. It would definetly fit in a modern decorated home. Also it has a very elegant look to it. It caught my attention how they embarced thicker woman in this piece because back in the day they weren't really in style. It was more based on skinny taller woman. It also goes with todays era because especially now woman are starting to embrace their thickness and stop viewing it as a flaw.

Peter Paul Rubens
Daniel in the Lions' Den
C. 1614/1616

This piece caught my eye because it depicts a man in a lions' den. That's just eye-catching. The light shining on Daniel and the difference in values in the paining helped for it to catch my eye as well. There are a LOT of religious oil paintings, but I especially like this one because of the drama/emotion of the situation, the realism, and the fact that the scene as a whole is understood at a quick glance, but the longer you look at it, the more you want to keep looking. I think the value in this work is primarily from his skill in creating it since the concept of Daniel in the Lions' Den has been the subject of many works.

Jar with tiger and magpie design
Est. 1700-1800

I didn't want to use this image because it was used as the thumbnail image to explore the gallery, but it really was the most visually interesting example I could find. The jar itself is a beautiful shape, and the images on the jar are clean, well balanced and beautiful. I liked it more than other, similar works, because I liked that the tiger and magpie seemed to be communicating with one another. The shape of the jar with the wide top and narrow base also made this one interesting, as it gave the magpie more space than the tiger, helping to balance out the power between the two animals. I think the value for this item comes from the materials, the images, the skill involved as well as the age and historical significance of the jar. For being a fragile item that is hundreds of years old, it is still in one piece and the white is still white and the blue has not faded.

Material: Yarn
No known artist is given, but it is a piece that is believed to belong to the Denésoliné (Chipewyan) of Brochet; Northern Region; Manitoba; Canada.  The piece was crafted sometime between 1927 and 1980.  These clothing accessories are much more recent than the other arts listed so far, but they catch my eye for a variety of reasons. My first thought was how similar it felt to some art-like patterns you see on many modern materials, such as hacky-sacks or even some cat toys. However, the yarn in this art predates the other examples and was crafted in a more remote region. The value of this material might not be as high as some other culturally significant pieces, but native Canadian culture does not seem to be as heavily explored as other ancient communities and groups.  I wonder about the cultural significance or if it might have just been used for a game during harsh winter months to keep occupied. It intrigues me due to the color vibrancy and questions I possess.

Israel Schuech
Hilt on Rapier of Prince-Elector Christian II of Saxony
Estimated at 1606

This one caught my eye mostly because it is a sword, which makes it inherently cool, and because it is literally shiny. The tiny details, symmetry, curves and all of the jewels make this sword really stand out. The value of this object comes from the materials as well as the skill involved in making it, plus its age and historical significance.

Artist: Theodor Kaufmann
Tittle: On to Liberty
Year: 1867
This piece of art caught my eye because it looked very realistic it gave me a 3D outlook of it. Also the colors the artist uses are very soothing. I found this piece to be the most interesting from the other examples because of vision on the art. With the tittle being "On to Liberty" with a group of a family and their children for a best lifestyle on to a new journey.

Emergence Series (one item within series) 1980

I was drawn to it because the pieces in the collection  are unlike anything I've seen before. The glass seems to be suspended in other pieces of glass, almost like it is pregnant and the work as a whole, to me, is beautiful, soft and very feminine.  It made me think of the women in my life, especially my wife, and her beauty, strength and grace. The technique is what makes this piece different from other works I've seen.  I think the value of this piece is both from the concept that the artist had as well as the skill involved in making it. I do not believe that many others would be successful if they tried to recreate this piece. (The artist is male, which I was surprised by, but that still doesn't change my opinion that this work looks like an ode to women/femininity.)

Title: Fuji from Inume (?) Pass

Artist: Katsushika Hokusai Japanese,  1760–1849 Tokyo (Edo Period).
Material: Ink

This piece demonstrates scale and color. Many similar pieces in the Edo time period had a closer frame of a subject, such as a mountain or an ocean wave, but this piece steps back to reveal a larger vision. The composition, color balance, scale, and historical context all bring value to this painting. In addition, it is simply aesthetically pleasing to the human eye in a calming manner, perhaps due to the shades of blue used in the ink.

I knew about 3D wooden artwork but I never put too much thought into 2D wooden arts. I came across this which fascinated me. This was made using a technique called chiaroscuro which involves using different blocks for each shade. It is then inked and printed over one another to create composition.

No Known Artist. No Listed Date. Andesite Sculpture "11.0-02767"

# data[].attributes.body
Found in Mexico and sitting slightly above 12 inches tall, this small sculpture could fit on a desk. Little information is listed from the Museo Nacional de Antropología, but the material seems to be an earthy material like stone and also andesite. This piece caught my eye as the style is very unlike most of the other sculptures of a similar era. Many focused entirely on human-like features, whereas this piece is influenced by an animal. It is rather mysterious as there is little detail on the piece from the listed exhibit, which makes this ferocious beast all the more mysterious or perhaps significant in a spiritual manner. The historical aspect and well preserved condition must yield it high value, as there are few similar pieces for comparison.

This porcelain who is by Edouard Honore ave made in year 1824/1853. This caught my eye because I honestly never seen a plate so detailed and beautiful. In my opinion I feel like this porcelain was better than other similar examples because other exAmples were of fancy vases but to me it wasn’t something different and after seeing the plate it gave me a WOW factor and honestly I would want to know if these plates are to eat on or just for looks? I think the value of this object is like an idea/ skill the artist had.

Grand Pianoforte. Enard/George Henry Blake. CA 1840. Wood Material.

# data[].attributes.body
Commissioned through the Enard firm in 1840, this piece was made out of oak, spruce, and wood veneer. A few pieces also contain metal, but the oak and spruce wood are the majority of the piece. Oak is generally used on most rectangular pieces of furniture, such as tables or wardrobes, so it was incredible to see an intricate piano like this from a common wood like Oak. There are many details on the piano for mythology, such as displays of Persephone and Ceres. The value I believe stems from several aspects of this piece. The wood itself would not be of a super high price compared to other woods, but the sheer detail and unusual shape makes this piece stand out compared to other, more elegant oak furniture pieces. There is historical value with the Foley family, and there is value in the purpose of the art--music.

Grand Pianoforte Enard George Blake 1840

# data[].attributes.body
Artist: Edgar Degas
Year: 1878 - 1881
Materials: Bronze
The first thing that caught my eye about this art piece was that it was entirely sculpted out of bronze but was wearing actual clothes. I found this interesting because other sculptures that I have seen, are either naked or have sculpted clothing. I think the most valuable part of this piece of art comes from the material itself.

Artist: Jake Hardy
Year: 2020
Materials: Photograph
This photograph speaks more than a thousand words. The idea that the color of a person's skin dictates if you get equal rights or not is the rooted problem in today's society as all lives can't matter UNTIL black lives matter. This photograph is exceptional as it captures the entire message behind the whole movement into one. The most value of this comes art comes from the concept of the piece itself.

Artist: Ogawa Machiko
Year: 2013
Material: Multi-fired porcelain with glass
This is a very unique piece of art as it caught my eye for being something I had never seen before. It is unique because it is supposed to look like a piece of the moon and it's so interesting to me that someone was able to make something so creatively. This piece is more interesting to me compared to others because of the ways the glass can me molded into and how beautiful the end creation can be. The most value of this object came from time, skill, and difficultly involved with executing the idea of a fragment from the moon.

Artist: circle of John Flaxman, 1755–1826, British, unknown artist
Year: undated
Material: Pen and Ink
When I first saw this drawing, I was astonished at how well draw it was with a pen and ink. To have the artistic ability to draw something so incredible without the use of an eraser. I believe that the value or this art piece primarily comes from the level of difficulty and skill it took from the unknown artist.

Title:crown for a statue
Year:8th century
This is a unique piece of crown that kings used to wear. I love to see aged pieced of art because they are still impressing peoples minds and it also brings back old times and how much has changed. Art work that is being made right now is how we will view the crown and people will be how much has changed from now from 200 years plus.

Title:“The Tale of Mr. Skull and Mermaids”
Year:2015
This caught my eye because it is something you would see in downtown SJ, SF, LA etc. I love how the artist incorporated death and also life into this piece. The skeleton does not look scary, it look friendly and at peace with the mermaids. I also love the bright colors and different range of colors that they have used to caught the eye when walking or driving pass.

Artist: Odilon Redon
Year: ca. 1900 - 1905
Material: Oil Painting
This piece caught my eye as soon as I saw it not only because this piece of art is beautiful, but all the different flowers together were interesting. When you often see  bouquet of flowers, they tend to normally go together aesthetically and only have a couple of types of flowers, but this particular painting has all sorts of flowers together. I think most of the value of this painting comes from the concept of the artist's idea.

Title:Glass mosaic jar
Year:2nd–early 1st century B.C.
This jar caught my eye because it looks like a crystal and I love crystals. By the form on this jar, I believe that it was a difficult to. make because it looks fragile. This jar would look great in a nice modern home with other neutral aesthetics.

When I first saw this I thought "wow... that cannot fully be made of marble". This art piece looks so beautiful and looks like just a real globe. I don't know how to work with marble or stone but I'm sure this piece was a bit hard but very fun to make.

Title:Study for Vase with Nude
Year:1939
The first thing that caught my eye was how interesting this art was made on clear glass but with some sort fo different glass inside. I did not this type of art with glass was possible and I am more curious about it and would want to learn more.

This caught my eye because I did not know people could make art out of cardboard. It was amazing to see that Chris Gilmour create a motorcycle wagon out of cardboard. When I first looked at it, it looked like wood but after a short period of time it was crazy to think that this was made out of cardboard. This piece is very interesting because it looks like it can actually drive. It is so realistic. I believe the material and skill was most valuable in this piece because who knew cardboard can make this type of art when putting in the time and effort.

This glass art caught my eye because of the detail and color. Blue is one of my favorite colors so it caught my eye immediately. This artwork is exceptional because with every spot it connects and makes a vase. I believe the material is valuable in this idea glass seems to be a difficult material to use in art since you have to work fast with it. I believe you have to put this in fire so that it would mold more easier but having to work quick is major in completing this type of work.

This ceramic artwork caught my eye because I had tried doing ceramic art in the past when I was in high school and it was very hard to do but seeing how Christopher Presser executed this was mesmerizing. The detail and how the wave thins out towards the top of the bowl looks amazing. Aldo how the bow does not connect at the top to show the motion of the wave is great. The material and idea of this piece is the most difficult because with ceramic you can make anything you like but molding it, the way you want is exceptional.

The idea of this piece is what caught my eye because it seems to look like we are on another planet. I have seen people spray artwork on the streets of San Francisco and they make it look so easy to do but I know that if i ever tried, it would not look like the image below. This artwork is amazing because I know that a lot of the time when people do spray paint art, it is like a "go with the flow" type of situation and being able to see that artists can think on the spot and create amazing art like this is mind-blowing. I believe that it is the concept of idea that the artist has to make this work because like I mention before, they think on the spot.

This piece caught my eye because the detail that is holds. This is made up of wood and in the photo you can see how thin each of its wing are. Wood can be very dense and hard but when looking at this artwork, it looks very fragile. It must have been very difficult to create this piece because with one harsh movement, it would have fallen into pieces. I believe that the time and skill it was to come up and execute this idea was the hardest goal.

While using old recycled bike parts and spray paint, Cole was able to be inspired by an antelope figure. He included the antelopes neck, horns, and elegant silhouette. He was able to reconstruct the bike into something beautiful and quite unique. I picked this piece because I have never seen anything like it. Its elegant, its eco friendly, and it has a unique twist. He was able to use minimal materials to create his piece and this brings significant value because its three dimensional, distinctive, and quite alluring.

This work contains bright colors, contemporary times, and bold clashing colors. Sarah worked hard on including a relationship because abstraction and representation. She believed that her artwork was impulsive, real, and imagined. Its safe to say that this piece of work does not use a typical horizontal orientation rather she describes it to be a “vertical phone screen”. I think this brings a lot of value to her artwork because it doesn’t follow the normal artwork others create rather it has her own flow and vibe. Its colorful, meaningful, and creates sort of a hallucinatory imagine.
