Unknown. (2019) Expedition Unknown: Egypt Live. [digital image] retrieved from https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1239433/
Unfortunately, I was unable to actually watch this live but I did get to watch this special this week. I absolutely love Expedition Unknown and growing up I was obsessed with Egypt growing up, so I very excited to watch this. It was so fascinating to watch them uncover the tomb of a high priest for the first time ever. I learned so much about the mummification process and the different kinds of items and religious symbols that are buried with them. I was on the edge of seat the whole time, I wish it was longer than two hours because I wanted to learn more about the people they had uncovered..

Monaco, A. (2019) Spring Bloom [picture] HU reading room
I was sitting by the window in the reading room when I noticed this little guy, who I named Klaus, on the window sill. I really loved how the pale yellow and the greens of this plant went together so I had to take a picture of him. What I love about this picture is that you can really see the textures of the petals and on the stems and leaves.

Chase Merritt, W. (1894) Idle Hours [oil on canvas] Long Island. Retrieved from https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/idle-hours/aAGRt5_rnKp-qw?hl=en
This artwork is called Idle Hours. It was painted in Long Island during 1894 by William Merritt Chase. The painting is currently located at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. Idle Hours is an oil on canvas painting that contains thickly layered brushstrokes and gentle lighting. This is a painting of Merritt's family relaxing on a nice summer day. This is what he believes to be the definition of tranquility.

Black, J. (2010) We Are One [Book] Amazon. Retrieved from https://www.amazon.com/We-Are-One-Jennifer-Black/dp/0982922507
There is a fight that continues to happen and that is racism. It is a complete and unnecessary fight, when are people going to realize that everyone is the same underneath. Jennifer's book portrays that very well for children at a young age, as it shows that there no better race.

Chbosky, S (1999) Perks
of Being a Wallflower [Book/Movie] Wikipedia. Retrieved from : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Perks_of_Being_a_Wallflower_(film)
A theme that interests me for the final project is acceptance and how it has become a thing that defines us. The movie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, is a good example of this. Charlie tries so hard to get everyone to like him that he doesn't pay mind to his deteriorating mental health.  I feel as though that is a lot of people that live like this today and its terrible.

Andrews (2009) Who's Cheating Who? [web article] Andrew's Idea. Retrieved from: https://andrewsidea.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/whos-cheating-mystic-river-the-sixth-sense-and-north-by-northwest/
In The Sixth Sense, the color red was used to represent things that had been touched by otherworldly being (ghosts). I found this to be an interesting choice, I mean why red? Why not blue? or green? I think the red might represent the fact that they used to have blood coursing through their veins and now they are a mere whisper in the wind.

Schwartz, M. (2010) Who am I? [web imagine] Psychology Today.
Retrieved from:  https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/shift-mind/201006/who-am-i
The theme of identity interests me because it can mean the world to one person and nothing to another. Some people are so sure of who they are early on in life where it takes some people years before they figure it out. There is a large difference between who you are and who would like to be.

Royal Charter. (1920) BBC News App. [web app] Google Play. Retrieved from :  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bbc.mobile.news.ww&hl=en_US
I like to use the BBC News app because it's easy to navigate has settings that make it so i can filter what kind of articles that show up on my feed. This app allows me to catch up on what is happening in the world without having to get frustrated with how slow other apps run.

Way, G & Ba, G. (2007). The Umbrella Academy. [comic book/Netflix series]. New Jersey. Retrieved from: https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/gerard-way-unveils-first-promo-image-for-netflixs-the-umbrella-academy-take-a-look
This is a comic book that I have been enjoying since I was twelve years old. I love how it deals with mental illness and the rebuilding of once strong relationships that had fallen in the past, how it shows that not every super hero is perfect and that we all have our demons and that we can heal from. I was extremely happy when I first found out that it was going to be on Netflix.

Hooch, de Pieter. (1662-65) Interior with a young couple. [Oil on canvas]. Amsterdam
https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/14.40.613/
This painting contains a young couple inside of their bedroom supposedly playing with their dog. However, this painting feels sad to me. Everything about it feels sad, the dark color scheme, the looks on their faces and the way that they are holding themselves. It's almost as if they have been told some bad news or an awful secret has been shared.

Magritte, R. (1929). The treachery of images. [Oil on canvas]. Los Angeles County Museum of Art. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b9/MagrittePipe.jpg
I found this image to be interesting because off the fact that the painting is right, it is not a pipe, its an image of one. It furthers the point that not everything is what it seems to be. Though as you said, the purpose of this painting is to make the audience think more.

Unknown. (20th century) Amulet (Mohara Ody) [Horn, Wood, Glass, Beads, Fiber] Madagascar
https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1995.549/
One element of the "period eye" that I would have to lean about in order to understand what this amulet means to the people that made it is their cultural practices. This piece could have used to express religious feeling or it could have used for protection.

Unknown. (20th century) Mask (Kanaga) [Wood, Fiber, Hide, Pigment] Mali
https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/315061
The Dogon people use these masks to connect themselves with the heavens, so that they would have a good afterlife. In addition, they used them to connect with the Earth so that they could have food, life and shelter. These functions affect they way these masks are styled because each one may contain a different prayer or way to represent each being that they wish to portray and thank.

Monet, C. (1881) A Bouquet of Sunflowers [ oil on canvas ] Paris, France
https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search
Two my absolute favorite things are sunflowers and visual texture paintings. His technique makes it feel as though I could reach out and touch the petals. The shapes and textures are all very organic, they do not feel unnatural at all.

Gogh, V. (1889) The Olive Trees [Oil on Canvas] Saint Remy
What I like the most about this painting is the use of analogous colors. It amazes me that it was painted using just a couple of colors rather than using a whole palate. The combination of the colors that Vincent had chosen and the wavy lines that had used create a very aesthetically pleasing painting

Figure 1. Monaco, A. (1/17/2019) Scotty's  Trailer [Phone Camera] The State Museum of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg PA.
This is a picture of a BMW trailer that was attached to a green 1968 BMW car. I chose this picture because it felt like was a little piece of home that's been frozen in time. It made me feel cozy and at home. I was drawn to it because at some point, people sat down at this table to eat the breakfast they just made. Once sat down at this table and played cards and wore that jacket when it got chilly.

Figure 1. Monaco, A. (11/6/18) Dewy Morning [DSLR] Capital Park, Harrisburg PA.
I had taken this picture sometime during the mid-morning in November. It was a wet morning as it had rained all night the night before. I chose this picture because you can really see the detail in the petals and each little dew drops that's on them. This picture represents how much i love detail and to take/paint floral pictures because they are what I find the most peaceful. I also love to take walks right after it rains, the smell is amazing.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my kitten Puck. We had just gotten home from the store and were putting the groceries when he decided that he was going to take a nap on my new pillow. He even brought his favorite sock with him so he could get nice and cozy before he fell asleep.

Out of all the images from this week's images, this one is my favorite because it is of the first pieces of art that I had seen that made me want to get more involved in art. I remember finding it amazing that this was not a painting but that instead it a print made from a woodblock. I enjoy the fact that it feels as though it is moving, how it can make you feel that emotions of the sailors trying to stay stable in the boats.
