I think it is beautiful and one of the most intriguing pieces of wood sculpted furniture I have ever seen. With the elegant looking picture on the front piece it looks like a luxury piece that could be found in a upper class household. ]]> 2021-02-22 19:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228327898 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228341505 2021-02-22 19:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228341505 Porcelain - Avery Brundage Collection https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228342190 This beautiful porcelain vase was created by Joseon Dynastly in around 1600.  This jar is known as the 'moon jar' which was loved and adored in Korea. This piece resembles Confucian virtues of purity, honesty, and modesty, and it also represents the fertility and embracing, gentle qualities of women which stood out to me. I think it is so simple yet creates a statement of how powerful porcelain is. ]]> 2021-02-22 19:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228342190 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228373491 2021-02-22 19:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228373491 Photograph - Papua New Guinean https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228374224 This Photograph was taken by Dr Maria Wronska-Friend in 1992 in Sissano. This powerful photograph depicts Papua New Guinean boys painting designs on the canoe in oil paint with sticks. I loved this picture because it shows the realistic side of art in third world countries. While they do not have all of these fancy paint brushes and other expensive resources some artists do, they are able to resemble and celebrate their culture through their own type of art. ]]> 2021-02-22 19:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228374224 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228398262 2021-02-22 19:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228398262 Brass & Steel - Wall Clock Cartel https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228401123 This beautiful clock was created by Etienne LeNoir in 1735-40. This piece is made with painted porcelain as well as brass and steel giving the luxurious look of gold. I loved how it was involving the Japanese culture into the French  history of clock making. I really liked this piece because of how luxurious it looks. ]]> 2021-02-22 19:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228401123 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228417864 2021-02-22 19:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228417864 Ceramic - Horn https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228422360 This piece was created for display in the late 18th/early 19th century in France. On the Met website, it says it can be credited to the The Crosby Brown Collection of Musical Instruments yet there is no one singular artist named. I knew I had to pick this piece because when you think of ceramic pieces you only think about bowls or plates, yet this involves such an unusual item. You never think to use a instrument as inspiration for art but its beautiful because art and music have more similarities than we think. ]]> 2021-02-22 19:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228422360 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228438455 2021-02-22 19:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1228438455 1, wood https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229456453 Traditional Channapatna toys famous toy from the 1990s in Channapatna
The creator of this art piece is Varnam Crafts it was created on 12-03-18

This type of art piece caught my eyes from the other types cause ita a type of toy from the Channapatna that they have been making since the 1990s. This is interesting to me cause of how they replace the house legs with more of a rocking chair feeling and the false legs are inspired by folk dances from the Karnataka and them implementing that into the toy is a great way to interpret their art. The way they implemented the people riding the horse reminds me of the old toys I had and it’s great that they’re implementing this into theory art.

It was implemented in a LA wall unknown location or date

He implements a message in every art he does and it amazing what he does with his art. He uses a stencil and sprays paint to use in his art which is amazing. I loved Banksy’s work for quite a while now and it’s great what he does in his arty work he’s a mysterious man but his message he implies in his art is what is happening in the real world.

Dr, Suess this painting was in his midnight painting collection and was created in 1964.
 When I found out about these paintings he has created on the side from cat in the hat and its interesting and very different from the books which it has caught my ingress in the first place. He has much different paintings from his collection but this one is detailed and it’s a cat holding his tail and a fan with a different ethnicity from the other characters he has done which is interesting.

The object he incorporates in his art is amazing his setting for this art forest and the object implemented. The objects he has implemented in his art and unique or every single one and describe the history and space of the object include in his art. I like how he placed the objects in a certain place of his art to represent a great factor of fantasy town and its describing object you may find in your town.

For me, it stood out more than the others because it was simplistic yet very intriguing. I liked the dinosaurs and the plants she painted around the bottom of the vase and I also liked the lines that come up towards the top of the vase. These lines sort of work like an optical illusion. The line work and details are very clean and well placed around the vase. Her choice of placement makes this vase look modern and yet also looks traditional. I believe that time and skill gives value because the material she used was ceramic but her detailed work makes it valuable.]]> 2021-02-23 03:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229589002 "Bar Scene" by Malcolm T. Liepke, 2000 (Oil Painting) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229592422 The woman's pale skin caught my attention to this oil painting because it stood out compared to the rest of the painting. I think that this oil painting was more interesting than other oil paintings because I like how Liepke was able to make the woman with the black top the center of attention by using lighter tones for her skin, while the rest of the painting is in darker tones. Also I like how it is very detailed. For me, I think the best part of this painting is how expressions and mood was clearly represented. There is movement in this oil painting with I found really interesting. It feels as if I was in the exact moment when it was happening. The value from this oil painting is not the oil paints used but the skill, time, and difficulty. ]]> 2021-02-23 03:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229592422 "Facsimile of Simone Martini's St. Catherine of Alexandria (Portion)" by Kathryn Finter, 1993 (Illuminated Manuscript) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229594402 This piece caught my eye because it seemed old but the date/year of the piece was 1993. I was very interested on whether it was an original piece. I found this one interesting because it seemed like an old European painting but it was created in 1993. After reading the caption of the art, I found out that the artist had recreated Simone Martini's original painting. I think that her use of 15th century materials and her technique captivated me as the audience. I love the gold in the woman's clothing, jewelry, and surroundings. This piece of art is valuable in both aspects, monetary and cultural value. The artist used 24k gold sheet to complete this artwork. The art also has value for its difficulty, time, and skill.]]> 2021-02-23 03:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229594402 "Now To Our Work!" by Stuart Patience (Pen and Ink) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229595361 This piece caught my attention because of the doll heads and hanging doll body parts in the background. I found this piece of art more interesting because it is about an 18th century story, The Sandman. The artist showed four different circular pieces like the one I chose and it tells the story about how a young man falls in love with an automaton and then falls into madness. I like how the artist chose specific scenes for him to interpret and draw. This particular one I enjoy because it has many things going on, and it is drawn as if curtains where opening. For this art piece I believe that its value mostly comes from the artist's concept, time, and skill.]]> 2021-02-23 03:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229595361 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229596363 2021-02-23 03:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229596363 pen and ink https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229596593 2021-02-23 03:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229596593 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229597073 2021-02-23 03:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229597073 "Unstoppable Waves" by AIKO, 2011 (Spray Paint) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229597853 Why did this piece catch your eye?
This artwork caught my eye because of the small pops of color used. I found this one more interesting because of the uniqueness of the painting. The artist was able to put herself into her art. The part I like about this is her used of black and white and small pops of color. Also this is one of the many pieces of her solo exhibit. I think that the time it took to come up with the concept for the many paintings is what makes this valuable.]]> 2021-02-23 03:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1229597853 Eastern Bangladesh/The Hindu deity Parvati with her sons Ganesha and Skanda/Approx. 1000-11000 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1230533183 Why I think it is the most interesting example of rock material is the detail that was used. The background is all one piece and everything was carved into the rock which Is a soft Basalt and this allowed for accurate detail. From The Hindu deity Parvati with her sons Ganesha and Skanda to the throne she stands and the decorative edges and curves around them, I think this example is very accurate of what rock material could be used as. What caught my eye was the year it was made, being so old it would explain why rock would be a first to making pieces of art. The value of this piece comes from culture and originality given that is from Eastern Bangladesh which is more valuable than the use of rock to incorporate different pieces and detail of important people from that time. Granted Parvati and her sons must have been, important to have a rock sculpture made after them.

From the elephant to the people, specially, the detail of the jewelry the elephant is decorated in. Something that caught my attention is that it almost looks like a photo rather than a painting, but you know it is oil paint because I think it is lighter, not so bright and was just the beginning, for art paint and what artists could create with it. Granted that Peterson was wealthy and important, incorporating him into an art piece represents history, and allowed me to know that about him and just a little of who he was during the time the mural was created. Something execptional about it is that it is a pretty big art piece which further justifies why it must have been created. Peterson was probably the one who paid to have it done, but just by looking at the painting you can learn such things about during this historic time. ]]> 2021-02-23 09:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1230539785 Northern India or Pakistan/Window Frame/Approx. 1650-1750 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1230542806 This type of art work is interesting because it includes some of the least amounts of pieces made compared to other pieces of work using wood. This adds further value to this window frame because you can tell at first glance that it is very old, not modern, and probably didn’t take much time to make. Regardless during this time, this may have been some of the most interesting forms of wood art work simply because sources then were limited to pretty much paper, wood, stone/rock, and simplistic and beginning use of paints. The red and brown colors are different to the all brown or dark wood textures. Making it different that way, I think captivates the eye a little more. The white powder or dust that resembles of it adds more value because you can tell maybe it is one of the few, when we look at modern kinds of this type of work.]]> 2021-02-23 09:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1230542806 Nicky Nodjoumi/’The Accident’. Ink on paper/2013. Funded by Maryam and Edward Eisler https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1230544235 This piece of artwork using pen and ink is very unique only because ‘bigger’ and more detailed artwork requires much more time to make when using such materials. Therefore, one thing that caught my eye was the black and white which, to me this entails it was made a long time ago just by looking at it, since not many more variations of color were seen before during that time. This seems to entail a historic which is backed up by the name it was given ‘The accident’ it seems like the guy in the chair is going to get hurt by those with superior authority to him, which adds more detail and also information that the art entails, which sends a historic message to the viewer. The skill to make such detail come to live using Pen and Ink is impressive in itself since using a smaller canvas would have taken the same image a much shorter amount of time to make, which to me, was more impressive.   ]]> 2021-02-23 09:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1230544235 Chelsea Procelain Manufactory/Botanical dish with spray of lilies/ca. 1755 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1230546418 This image below is a really interesting form of art using spray paint because it is colorful and bright with shapes and flowers which in this instance are lilies. I think that what makes this a good example of a spray paint based art piece is the detail. Using spray paint could be a challenge when making small lines, shapes, and in this case butterflies with precise features to their wings and colors. Spray paint now is used to vandalize, damage, or cover different items, walls, buildings and even personal belongings like a skateboard or backpack as a sense of either self-expression, or what is the stereotype of the latest century, which is ‘vandalism’ and thinking it is sometimes related to owned territory between criminal groups. Unlike vandalizing private property with spray paint, that doesn’t belong to the ideal person, this is a good example of what spray paint could be used in a modern and clean artistic way. The value of this is that much greater because it is hard to find such pieces with originality, so as to choose a dish plate rather than a wall to make the art design. I think that brings originality to the art piece as well as made the difficulty that much greater and more time consuming and regardless, that much more rewarding. Therefore, this is one of the better examples for spray paint material to use in artwork. ]]> 2021-02-23 09:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1230546418 "Quilt, Tumbling Blocks with Signatures pattern" by Adeline Harris Sears (1856) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233316180 The colorful geometric pattern, and intricate detail caught my eye. As I take a closer looks and read about the piece, it becomes more and more exciting and unique. What makes this textile so different is the fact that each white square on the textile is a piece of silk that had been autographed by someone she deemed important at that time. In fact, it even includes eight different presidents. While the pattern is beautiful, what makes this piece so special is the fabric's historical significance. ]]> 2021-02-23 19:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233316180 "Headdress frontlet" by Tsimshian Native Americans (1820-40) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233338458 The combination of wood and abalone shells are what stood out to me at first glance. The numerous faces and combination of natural materials are what make the piece so interesting to me. As I learn more about this work, I have discovered that it is a head dress a person of authority would wear during sacred ceremonies. The is an exceptional piece of art because of the use of natural materials, and the significance of its use in the Tsimshian culture. ]]> 2021-02-23 19:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233338458 "Seven ponds and a few raindrops" by Ranjani Shettar (2017) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233413072 This sculpture resembling natural ponds was created by Indian artist Ranjani Shettar. The artist uses a variety of natural and industrial materials such as beeswax and steel to create pieces that replicate India's environment. The use of space, lighting and organic shapes are what caught my attention. What makes this art special is the space between materials and lighting to create contrasting shadows that resembling rain drops. ]]> 2021-02-23 19:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233413072 "Hat" by Cristobal Balenciaga (1957) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233495046 This is my favorite piece of art I have found on the Met website. At first glance it looks like cabbage. It evokes questions like what is that made of? Who would wear it? What would cabbage feel like on my head? This piece by Balenciaga is made entirely of silk. The craftsmanship and creativity involved in making a silk hat that resembles cabbage is mind-blowing. This art is special in so many ways, but I think this is the best use of silk because the artist was able to transform silk into both hat and vegetable. ]]> 2021-02-23 19:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233495046 "The Cloisters Playing Cards" by the South Netherlandish (1475) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233534622 I was drawn to this piece of art to learn about the materials used and pictures depicted on an old set of playing cards. This set of cards are one of the only known set of cards in the fifteen hundreds. While a deck of cards like this seem very familiar, this first deck was made and used in different ways. They are made of four layers of paper, ink, glaze, and gold. Some believe that they were used to gamble, or collect. This is a significant piece of art using ink and paper because it created what has evolved into a household staple in American culture. ]]> 2021-02-23 20:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1233534622 villalovos2323 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1238839662 1.  Pen and ink:
Titile: Tolguacha- Datura Meteloides
Creator: Margaret Neilson Armstrong in 1909-14
This piece caught my eye in particular because it was a flower. I am. huge flower/plant lover, I have a little variety of plants myself. So when I first saw it I was instantly drawn to it, also because of all the realistic features it had. I feel like this piece is better than other in a way that it doesn't try to hard to be the best, it just ends up happening. I feel that the way the artist drew this piece wanted to capture its natural beauty. The way you are able to see every little line that would define that plant makes it perfect because it focuses only on the plant and all its features. I feel that the value comes from what is being drawn and focused on. Since this is pen and ink drawing the way for it to stand out is what audience is drawn to certain things. I do think skill was needed in order to draw such a wonderful and realistic flower. This flower displays all its natural features along with branches and its leaves along the sides of the flower.

Creator: House of Carl Fabeigè in 1899-1908
This piece caught my eye the most out of the rest was because of the colors and designs. This piece is a very clean vase that has red and pink flowers coming out the top of the vase. And inside of each flower are little pearls. My two favorite colors are pink and red and not only are those my favorite colors I also love flowers, So this piece was right up my alley.  I feel this one ws better compared to the rest because although it can be like the rest of the flowers and vases but this one has more details to it. Not only does it show beautiful flowers it also has some that are not yet bloomed yet, giving it that extra effect. Also by adding the pearls into the middle of the flowers made piece that much better. To top it off at the bottom off the vase it has a very simple but clean gold design that ties up the look all together. I do feel that since this piece has pearls and gold it does hold more value because of that, but I do think this piece alone hold value because of the clean and sleek look it gives off.

Title: Pair-case repeating watch 
Creator: John Champion in 1770-72
This piece caught my eye right off the bat. The first look you take at it is just wow. This piece is a nice small pocket like watch that has a outer case that is made of glass and gold. This small watch also has pearls on the outside of the case that fit perfectly with the gold trimming.  This piece stood out to me because of how beautiful the outer case for the watch. I feel like this piece is more interesting because most watches do not have a nice glass design on the front like this piece does. This piece has a red-black smokey look to the glass on the outside, not many have I ever seen like that.  This watch also has gold trimming all along the trimmings of the watch, with little pearls inside the center of the flower designs on the outer case of the watch. I feel like the value comes from the skill that was put into creating such a unique look for the outer case of the watch.

Creator: Marquetry by alexandre-jean oppernordt 
This piece stood out to me the most was the designs and purpose. This piece has such a unique design to it as being able to open it and have more room and a little writing area. I feel like this piece is more interesting because although a lot of the other designs like this are somewhat the same, this piece has a unique function and also has a unique pattern to it as well. I feel that this piece focused on both those aspects rather than one, like most do. I really liked how you were able to close it up and it gives you the option to display the pretty crown and sun design on top or you are able to open it and have a writing area. I think the value of this work came strictly from the skill, time, and difficulty of this piece. I feel like the creator was able to come up with a functional movement ability and have it still be sleek and clean. Also to have so much storage space makes the value go up as well.

creator: Peter Chang in 1995
I chose this piece in particular because it stood the most out to me. The way the colors are so bold and the textures change and its not like your typical bracelet. This bracelet is interesting because it doesn't just go in one way like the rest this one has a variety of colors and shapes and little spike like shapes coming off the bracelet itself. Also the color choice stood out a lot because of the wide variety that was being used. I feel that it is better because it stands out the most because it caught your eye in different aspects that most. Usually bracelets will catch your eye because of the color or texture or style, but as for this bracelet it catches your eye for all aspects. I think more of the value comes from skills because the way that this bracelet is able to combine all these different colors and shapes is truly remarkable. All of this was mainly made from recycled material so the value is definitely from skill level.

The piece has amazing texture qualities and i feel like for even being made out of metal the artist did an incredible job of captivating what it means to be a part of the west.

Michelangelo demonstrated multiple pieces of art throughout his lifetime but I personally think the detail and time and effort he put into making Moses was his prime work , I think his art gets value from difficulty, the way he captured details in Moses' beard and hair into a marble block just amazes me. ]]> 2021-02-26 19:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1246765133 Turtle by Scott Woyak https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1246784702 Lastly I wanted to do Pen and Ink, and decided that Scott Woyak was the artist who stood out the most to me. Scott Woyak performs drawings of animals that really look as if they could be black and white pictures of animals. In the selected picture he drew a tortoise and managed to captivate some rather intense details and shading in the drawing. I find this style of art rather interesting due to the fact its ink and you cant erase ink if you mess it up! so the detail and carefulness of every mark had to of been rather intense. Other of his pieces appear to have more lines but this piece appeared to be a billion tiny dots to create the item.

This art work caught my attention because of its vibrant appeal. The color composition on the vase is very attractive and easy for the eye to see. The line, shape, color, space and texture on the work can be easily observed.  The work is self descriptive in a sense that anyone can understand the message.

This art work also caught my attention because of the detailedness of the work. The work was done with Bronze and the attention given to every part of the body including the skin of the python is really impressive. I think the value of this art work comes from the idea/concept the artist had on idealization of the body, the physicality of the musculature of the body and the engagement of the python with the male nude . ]]> 2021-02-27 10:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1247909512 Artist: Albert Bierstadt https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1248037053 Title: The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak
Date: 1859 
This piece caught my eye because of the picture looking, amazing scenery of Wyoming mountains. The hard work and perfection put in to this art work is astonishing. The artist showed his skills of using space on a flat canvas to trick the eye in to something seen from a far distance. The water fountain coming down from the hill can be seen shinning light on the mountain surrounding the scene.  More of the value of this piece comes from the idea/concept the artist had. ]]> 2021-02-27 12:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1248037053 Artist: N/A https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1248055220 Title: Torso of a High General

This piece caught my eye because it was simply a half torso of a person. It kind of made me question what might have happened to the high general.

Date: 1400-1521
Material: Gold/Precious Metals/Jewels

This art piece caught my eye because it is a mask that is made out of turquoise, a precious jewel. This art piece is more impressive than others because it is of a human face, while other types of turquoise art comes in jewelry. The unique color from the turquoise is what makes this piece exceptional. The value of the art comes from the material itself, as the turquoise adds more interest into the design of the craft.]]> 2021-02-28 02:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249023554 Unknown Artist danielgomezdabest https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249030920 Title: Tipi bag
Date: 1890
Material: Fiber/Fabric/Textiles

This art piece caught my attention because it is a bag from a Native American tribe that uses the design of the American flag. This piece is more important than others because of the history behind it, as the united states outlawed the celebration of the Lakota's Sundance, the American government instituted the Fourth of July celebration instead, resulting in the tribes interpretation of the flag on their crafts. The motifs of colonizer's flag on traditional craft is what makes this piece exceptional. The value of the art piece is from the concept the artist had, adding the motif of the American flag on traditional crafts, such as this bag.]]> 2021-02-28 03:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249030920 Memorial To A Marriage https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249180986 This bronze sculpture was created by Patricia Cronin in the year 2002. What interested me about this painting was the romanticism, the title, and let's not forget the amount of time it takes to create something so beautiful. This piece stood out to me apart from the others because the couple enjoys each others company while the others were isolated. My favorite part of this sculpture is the sheet over the couples bodies because she did a great job at making it look realistic. I think its true value comes from the artists detail and skill. ]]> 2021-02-28 05:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249180986 Arte Urbano Ciudad de Mexico https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249207897 This ceramic art piece was made by an artist named Chams in June of 2012. The use of color and the fact that he used a women's face is what caught my eye.

My own questions are what interested me in this work of art. Like how does one make something so fascinating out of glass? Or what kind of materials are needed to make that kind of design on glass? I hate to say this, but this one differed from the others because it was more interesting to look at. The way I see it, the value of this design comes from the artists skill. Just imagining how someone might create a different body than the ones we are so used to, and still make it look classy. ]]> 2021-02-28 06:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249235080 Attero https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249257965 This composition was made out of reclaimed materials by Bordalo II. It took a month to make it in the year of 2017. The asymmetric face is what caught my eye first and the car on the right side followed. If I am being honest I loved all of the pieces made from garbage because each and every one of the artists made something beautiful out of not so beautiful materials. The value of this piece comes from both the idea and the time.

What first interested me about this piece was the color, since blue is my favorite color, but mostly the skill that it takes to create both human and animal bodies out of small pieces of hard material. In my opinion, this composition was more interesting than others because of the detail and the preciseness. There is no doubt that the value of this mosaic art comes from the artists skill. ]]> 2021-02-28 06:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249283776 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249486458 Out of the 293 other examples of the same material (stone), I was drawn to this piece because of its lollipop-like transparency, glazed and polished exterior, and its intricate details—its textural appeal. It stands out among the rest because of its muted-down pink-tinge—a characteristic of rose quartz, its utility being an incense burner, and the precise carving of dragons. I think its value encompasses culture because it was suspected to be from the Qing Dynasty, the evident high artisanship, and its concept of dragons (which were valued in China).]]> 2021-02-28 08:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249486458 2.

Also, Klimt is my favorite artist and art nouveau is my favorite style of art which Klimt is a huge proponent of. In my opinion, this piece is more interesting than the others because of its successful use of the elements and principles of art. You can clearly see how unity was achieved—the use of lines, shapes, colors, movement, and contrast of color work together to form a coherent whole.  Subjectively, I think it’s exceptional because it’s able to make me feel like I’m daydreaming and I’m in a fantasy world and it gives me this big feminine energy.  I think the value of the piece is attributed to the idea of the artist linked to eroticism and the concept of “femme fatale”.]]> 2021-02-28 09:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249579928 3.

I think this piece is more interesting than others because of the story behind it. It turns out that Sir Grenville gave this oval locket where Sir Grenville’s portrait was painted to his wife Lady Grenville as a keepsake for her to remember him in a loving memory in a time where they were kept apart from each other because of the English Civil war. I think this material is valued because of the materials used—gold, emeralds, diamonds, opals, rubies, and pearl, the difficulty of painting such tiny and intricate details and for the history behind it. ]]> 2021-02-28 09:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249647042 4.

I think it’s better than other examples of the same material because of the perspective of where it is coming from—the photograph was taken at the right angle and right moment where the three persons were at the left side and the perfect use of space that gives it a perfect balance. I think it is exceptional because it creates a balance of stillness and movement. I think the value of the photograph lies on the time and skill of the photographer as well as the difficulty of capturing the photograph because back then cameras were not that high-tech and taking one photograph requires patience and tremendous skill. ]]> 2021-02-28 10:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249754779 Artist: N/A https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1249815009 Title: Dish with Three Jars
Date: 1680–90s

The reason this picture really caught my eye as one of my first findings is mainly because of the color. I am a big fan of anything blue or pink. I feel as if I'm a big fan of both of these colors because it represents two moods I usually got through. Blue being very low and pink being my high. This piece of art is beautiful as it is simple yet can express a lot.

This piece of art stood out to me from the rest on the page that I saw was because of it's super fine details. I looked closer and felt as if I was in a different dimension as there is so much to look at. Anything that I feel you have to look further into is almost always more interesting to learn about and this piece gives me exactly that. I also like how it practically tells a story within itself. ]]> 2021-02-28 18:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1250501888 "L'Eléphant Blanc" https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1250596802 Artist: House of Dior

I always wanted to be a ballerina since I was little but as time went on I went a totally different path. Seeing this gave me nostalgia as anything ballerina growing up I had. From figurines, to toys, to dresses, statues, and even ballerina shoes I got. Seeing this dress really took me back and the dreams I once had when I was younger. The material is so elegant and graceful as I believe it's most likely made out of silk, fiber, textiles, and fabric. Fashion can come in so many designs and expressions that I'm not surprised that the House of Dior put this one together. ]]> 2021-02-28 18:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1250596802 Artist: Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) (Dutch, Leiden 1606–1669 Amsterdam https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1250596898 Title: Cottage near the Entrance to a Wood

This Art work caught my eye because the shading of the pen and usually I would think pen and ink that there would be a lot of ink but the shadowing and the lines to make it look like a small house and trees around it. It seems to have shadowing over the house making it look like the afternoon. And something I almost didn’t see was the man in front on the door. Which I thought was really cool.

The art work caught my eye because I found it so satisfying and that the details of the waves and clouds to look very perfect not too realistic but not too non realistic.

USE OF MATERIAL: Ink on paper

I really love this piece by Kim Jeonghui which seems to have a simple yet complex idea of ink on paper in calligraphy. This piece really resents with me because growing up Asian-American and having a lot of asian friends growing up, I would see these types of artwork in many of their families houses. To be able to work with difficult lettering with ink having only a small to near non existent gap for error, I believe makes it more valuable than the materials being used on a piece like this. Also the sentimental value of a piece like this is worth more than money.

USE OF MATERIAL: Blue-cut-to-clear glass

This piece titled Decanter with stopper really caught my eye first with the blue cut glass because from what I've learned throughout learning about classy and expensive types of glass and dining ware, colored glass like purple are considered more expensive, rare and higher class. This is the first time I've ever seen a blue cut to clear glass which to me means more rare and expensive. I believe the value of this piece comes from a variety of idea, time, material and use.

This piece held and displayed in the National Museum of the American Indian caught my eye out of the bunch because it was one of the most important tools back in the early ages for American Indians. The materials were made of stone and they were used just as the description says to start fires. Of course for pieces like this the value is more from the significance of what the pieces meant for people who used it back then, being able to create fires and things of that nature.

This mural by Mark Jenkins titled Positive Propaganda really caught my eye because of the simplicity in the mural but also what it could represent for different people. It's located in Munich, Germany. There's probably no real value other then sentimental value but it really makes you think of what the artist is trying to say and express and makes you think of different ways of viewing certain situations.

This is a rhinoceros shaped bronze vessel that is about 3,000 years old. It is one of the few vessels made in China shaped like an animal. It caught my attention because they made this look exactly like a rhinoceros and it looks so natural, and it is from the Shang dynasty.

This piece makes the art look as if it was made with cloth material, but it was made with ceramics. The details and flow of the formation is different from how others would create with ceramics. Usually, many would think ceramics are basic pots or sculptures, but this ceramics piece showed off cloth detail making it look realistic. I've used ceramics in some of my previous projects and I can truly understand how hard it can be to sculpt it to make it perfect and this piece showed that with time, anyone can create a perfect piece with big and small details. ]]> 2021-02-28 22:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1250989728 Glass- House of Cards (5 Panels) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251012808 2019.

But as I observed more into detail, I realized that the veil was made out of marble. I was fascinated of how Strazza managed to give the illusion of a veil over a face. It gives off a movement of a the veil placement. This piece is more interesting than others, because I haven't seen many marble sculptures with veils on them, especially with the very well details the artist created on this piece. I think the value of this object comes mire from the skill and difficulty that the artist went through. This was all created by hand and the way he managed to put that much detail can explain the time and skill he had for this work. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251014755 Fontainebleau Forest https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251016920 Date: Early 1860s
Artist: Eugene Cuvelier
Classification: Photograph

This photo was taken in France in early 1960s. It stood out to me because it seems like a window into the forest, and you could even see the mist in the air. I really enjoy seeing these types of photographs that capture the beauty of nature.

It's amazing how Ross managed to create these grounds in his paintings with freely painting and no drawing. The details a phenomenal with simple strokes that have created shadows across the art piece. I think the time and concept that the artist had helped create this great illusion as if we were looking at the mountain ourselves. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251027006 Porcelain Plate with Japan Map https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251030128 Date: 1800-1868

I believe the value of this coin drawer was a result of combinations of material, time, skill, and difficulty. Aside from being made out of mahogany, the handles of this cabinet was made out of applied and inlaid silver. Also, it was handled by different person, it was believed to be made in the firm of Desmalter employing 350 craftsmen, the silver handles were made by Biennais, and was designed by Percier and the structure was decorated by Denon. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251030498 Epoxy Resin - Fractal.MGX https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251031541 2007.

I chose this because I'm pretty into trees and this is a whole table made to look like a forest. Super cool looking. In regards to this piece, I think the value comes in the idea of what it is. It's made to look like a forest, but it's also a table. Honestly, I wouldn't use it as a table. Just owning it and having it somewhere in my apartment would be a flex just because of how cool it looks. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251031541 "Follow Your Dreams" by Banksy (Graffiti) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251034548 This caught my eye because of the title and its piece. The title says "Follow your dreams" but in the art piece it is covered by the word "cancelled". This can give the observer meaning to understand the piece. It can be interpreted as if nowadays not many people can follow their dreams, it's almost like we're controlled in a society where we have to follow others dreams. I think the value of this project came from the artists idea. Banksy wanted to have meaning behind this piece. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251034548 Mosaic Floor Panel https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251042044 Date: 2nd Century A.D.

I chose this painting because it kinda tripped me out. First when I looked at it, I thought it was water. Then I looked at it harder and saw mountains and snow. So I'm not actually sure which one or if it's both that's in the painting, but I like the confusion I feel about it. I don't think it's any better or worse than other oil paintings, but I just like it. I think the bulk of the value comes from the idea of this painting. Like is it mountains and snow? Is it water? Who knows. Maybe I'm dumb and just can't tell. Either way I just like the painting. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251044834 Glass Gladiator Cup https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251055644 Date: 50-80 A.D.

This is an amazing piece of historic art. It has survived thousand of years being made of glass! It shows four roman gladiators fighting and their names at the top in Latin, and they became famous in Rome during the Julio-Claudian period, and were probably used as souvenirs.

I chose this piece because I like how the lines look. I don't really know how to explain what I mean by that. I guess I like how you can almost see how exactly each line was drawn and what direction it started in. I don't really think there's anything exceptional about it, but that's kind of the point of art. Maybe to someone else it could be exceptional in all these ways but to me, I just like how it looks. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251056130 Concrete - NUD CYCLADIC 9 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251062960 2010.

So this piece launched itself at me as soon as I searched for concrete. It looks so gross and I love it. I think this piece is way more interesting than other concrete pieces I saw simply because it kind of grosses me out. It looks like you cut open someone's stomach, took their intestines out, cleaned off the blood and dumped them on a slab of concrete. If that isn't dark, gross, and interesting all at the same time, i don't know what is. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251062960 *no name provided* by Mark Powell (Pen) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251066787 I chose this art piece because I looked at the detail and shading that was created in this piece. I thought about how the artists had the time to black out the background with ink and I know from experience that it takes a long time. Also I chose this piece because of the material he uses. He's using which I believe is an old letter as his canvas. Using used materials easily can help save more paper and it's environmental friendly. I think that the value comes from the skill and difficulty of the project. Unlike pencils, in ink it's harder to create lighter or darker shades. To create shades it's almost as if you have to separate thin and thick lines, while in pencils you have to apply pressure to create shading. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251066787 Casa Batllo https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251066805 Casa Batlló is a building in the center of Barcelona.

Vincent van Gogh painted Starry Night in 1889 during his stay at the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Van Gogh lived well in the hospital; he was allowed more freedoms than any of the other patients. If attended, he could leave the hospital grounds; he was allowed to paint, read, and withdraw into his own room. He was even given a studio. While he suffered from the occasional relapse into paranoia and fits - officially he had been diagnosed with epileptic fits - it seemed his mental health was recovering.
Unfortunately, he relapsed. He began to suffer hallucination and have thoughts of suicide as he plunged into depression. Accordingly, there was a tonal shift in his work. He returned to incorporating the darker colors from the beginning of his career and Starry Night is a wonderful example of that shift.

I chose this image because of it's immersive detail; the shape of the design is  uniquely crafted, along the borders it displays a design similar to a hexagon.  The overall design is just eye catching the center piece has many elements; I see a man with long curly hair an unrecognizable face with branches coming out from the face, as well as drawers coming out from his body. I find this piece more interesting than other glass works because of it's eye catching appearance; I think it's intricacy makes it stand out more than other works of glass which may have not been designed in such detail.

Spotted by an art dealer in New York in the mid-1980s, he specializes in reproducing masterpieces with recycled materials. His materials range from rubbish, to shredded magazines, wires, puzzle pieces and even dust. Muniz creates large-scale pieces, whose compositions require them to be digitally projected onto the ground from a height. The film, “Waste Land,” is a documentary about Muniz’s project, that took place over three years in the world’s biggest wasteland; Jardim Gramacho in Rio de Janeiro.For this project, Vik Muniz worked with “pickers” who collected waste for the artist and his recycled art projects. The pickers then assembled the pieces into sculptures, which were projected onto the floor inside a warehouse. At the end of the project, the artist sold all the photographs during an auction event, and donated the proceeds to the pickers who participated to the project. https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251090087 2021-03-01 00:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251090087 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251090275 2021-03-01 00:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251090275 Rene Lalique was a jewelry designer turned glass artist. Born in 1860 in France, Lalique began his career as a Parisian jewelry maker but began experimenting with glass only five years into his jewelry career. Lalique’s glass designs included small bottles, vases, and other containers.Perfumer Francois Coty saw Lalique’s work and invited him to work on perfume bottles for his company. Lalique shifted his focus from jewelry to glass production, creating new techniques using clear and frosted glass. Some of his most famous works include decorating the Cote d’Azur Pullman Express Train carriages in 1929 and creating chandeliers for the Normandie Luxury Liner. https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251097974 2021-03-01 00:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251097974 Clunny Glass https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251098522 2021-03-01 00:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251098522 DazeChris “Daze” Ellis tried to spray-paint his first subway car in 1976 at age 14, but because it was the middle of winter, the paint in the can froze.

Albetinelli created this in 1500 with Oil paints. This piece caught my eye because of the contrast in colors and then I noticed how it is praising motherhood. I made an instant connection to Mother Mary and her son Jesus because of the blue dress and head silk running down her back. I believe this piece is better than most other oil paintings because it is something everyone can recognize and gives empowerment to mothers. All mothers pride themselves on nurturing their children whether it be through formula or breast milk yet it has been seen as taboo and wrong for a long time. Seeing a woman sitting as royalty with her child while other women praise her is very heartwarming. In this piece, the value of the object is coming from the level of skill and concept that this idea took. It is very evident that this piece took a lot of skill due to the intricate small details. ]]> 2021-03-01 03:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251335609 f5eiwkkdmh https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251348880 2021-03-01 03:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251348880 (Oil Paint) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251350575 Benedikt von Hertenstein by Hans Holbein the Younger 
This portrait was created in 1517 by Hans Holbein , he decorated the house of the lucerne magistrate and also painted the magistrates eldest son. This painting caught my eye because of how it was drawn out and added onto using oil paint. There are many layers to the piece and it can be seen with the depth of the face and background. Oil also takes a long time to dry so I thought the quality was very good considering the time it had been created. Something else that also interested me was the difference in realism painting between now and then and how much art has progressed in style and material.

This piece created by Tiffany, Louis Comfort is titled Window with the Hudson River. This piece was made in 1905 with beautiful stained glass. This piece caught my eye because it reminded me of my church. Growing up in a rather religious family, I’ve become familiar with the stained glass art around my church. Yet this piece is so much more intriguing and better than most glass pieces because of the calming sensation it gives off. While doing this assignment two of my family members walked past it and couldn't help but tell me how beautiful and peaceful the river looked in this piece. that’s when I quickly noticed the claiming vibing it was giving me. I think most glass paintings use very bright colors to catch your attention but this is very different as it uses cooler, greener, and more muted tones which allow people to reflect while viewing it. I think this piece got its value from the ideal concept that the artist had. It's noticeable that the artist planned this out very much and thought about the color scheme for a long time due to the way the colors easily merge together.

I’ve never encountered such a realistic and raw piece like this one. This piece is definitely better in my opinion because it is very realistic, I know many people can relate to it. Especially if you come from an immigrant family, you've been exposed to the people in your family having to work day in day out on their hands and knees. This piece reminded me of my uncle's hands, he always comes home hurt from his construction job and his hands are always dirty or stained from all the long days at work. I think the stick is a key part of this sculpture because it is held like a celebratory stick as if they were cheering with their fist in celebration. I believe the value of this piece is coming from the difficulty involved with executing this idea. It must have been extremely difficult to create such a detailed and realistic hand with the correct colors to show the bruises. ]]> 2021-03-01 04:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251382480 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251385068 Artist Dale Chihuahua

Li Hongbo makes sculptures entirely out of paper and glue. What caught my eye was that not only are they made out of paper but they can be lifted. Each sculpture is made out of roughly 7,000 to 2600 sheets of white paper stacked on top od each other.

Title: The Fountain of Art
Year: 1907


This fresco in the Liszt Academy of Art is in the first floor foyer and extends partly into the Grand Hall. Painted in 1907 it has beautiful colors, scale, and movement. Since this fresco uses gold and predominantly blue, I liked it over the other frescoes I've seen. Most of the other examples mainly use reds and ochre as bright, eye-catching colors. I also enjoy the symmetry around the center horizontal line of the painting. Although the fresco is large and there is a lot of complexity to the piece, the attraction is how aesthetically pleasing it is to the eye. The action performed by the people is simple, but there is enough detail to hold the viewer's attention for quite a while. The reason I enjoyed this piece, besides the colors and theme, is that is appears to have Art Deco component, although Art Deco did not come into being for another 13 to 15 years.

It's a rug that has been painted on, but its very detailed and seems to tell a story. I've always liked Persian rugs because they always have intricate symmetrical designs, although this one isn't symmetrical, it's value comes from the interesting design. There are other pieces like this, but this one seemed more detailed than the others because of the figures and patterns. This piece must have taken an incredible amount of time to accomplish, add that with the detail and design, makes this rug exceptional. ]]> 2021-03-01 04:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251422768 Vase des Binelles https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251424698 Artist: Hector Guimard
Title: Vase des Binelles
Year: 1903


This vase, carved from stone in 1903, has a lot of detail to it. The folds that are carved with open spaces around the mouth of the vase are what initially caught my eye. This piece's extreme detail includes tiny flowers that make up the lines running along folds, as well as, the lines that run along the top edges of carved details. The hollow areas that give the piece a three dimensional look is what makes this piece stand out from the rest. Most of the other carvings I viewed had direct surface carvings only. The difficulty in carving this vase is what impresses me the most, and is what I think offers the most value to me.

Title: Visitation
Year: 1988


Visitation is a very colorful and moving oil painting. Even though there are many elements to this piece, they are not mashed together. There seems to have been a lot of planning to this complex artwork in order to make all the pieces fit perfectly. Therefore, I think the planning of this piece is what impresses me the most. Finally, the thing that caught my eye with this piece is that it appears to be sitting on its side, instead of its bottom edge. As seen, it looks very symmetrical from top to bottom. This painting makes me want to tilt my head to the left in order to see it right side up.

The glass is detailed with a flower design on green glass. This lamp is meant to be a statement piece for a home study or sitting room.

Title: Scorpion
Year: 2014


Scorpion is a spray painted wall art that is over 30 feet wide and over 6 feet tall. This piece seems like it would look just as beautiful in full size as it does scaled down for the website picture. I particularly like the metallic affects created by shading technique and proper color selection. The reflective, metallic appearance on the stinger, behind the head, and on the tops of the pincers is what made this painting stand out. The fact that it was created with spray paints is what gives this painting value to me. I did not see too many other paintings that were created with spray paint, but regardless, they would have to be very impressive to out shine the detail, technique, and attraction this painting offers.

Brookhart, David Anderson Meeker 1940 (Metal) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251430207 I am a fan of industrial design especially when it comes to mid twentieth century American design. Appliances and equipment from that era looked clean and futuristic and that is apparent with this piece. The free flowing lines make it look like a very clean piece making it live up to its name. I also admire the fact that this is just raw metal, no paint was needed helping it keep in line with a very clean look. There are not any pieces similar to this one, it is a one of the kind design from an era when design was a bigger priority than cost or function. ]]> 2021-03-01 04:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251430207 "Parker Fly" electric guitar by Parker Guitars 1987 (Plastic/Epoxy) https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251436345 This guitar is made by Parker Guitars and it is made out of composite materials such as plastic and epoxy to create a light weight design.

The design reminds me the movie "back to the future" because of the futuristic look and the metallic paint. ]]> 2021-03-01 04:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251436345 Toilet box containing four smaller boxes https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251438744 Artist: Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory
Title: Toilet box containing four smaller boxes
Year: 1761


Of all the pictures I gathered for this assignment, this was the first and most impressive in my opinion. This is a porcelain toiletry box that has 4 additional boxes ("drawers") that fit inside of it. The other materials used in this piece are Mazarin blue ground with gold decoration. The gold detailing is what caught my eye. It is sharp, clear, and symmetrically perfect. Given that this piece was produced in 1761 I wonder how much time and effort went into the making of this box set. Obviously, the detailing is what impresses me the most. Other porcelain pieces that I viewed, although beautiful and well detailed, can't compare to the design, complexity, detail, planning, execution, and final finishing of this artwork. Of all the five items I'm writing about in this assignment, this one is my favorite.

Title: The Genius of the Forest 
Year: 2008 

The work by Giuseppe Penone made in 2008 was a very interesting piece of art from wood to me. The piece shows us the beauty of what a tree log looks like from their "bones". It shows how hallow the log can be with all the holes around the log. The texture of the log has rough insides. It makes the artwork beautiful all the way around and creates a pattern within the art pieces. I feel like the artwork was a hard thing to do without breaking the log and the holes.

Pilar vich created this art piece in 2020 which was definitely one of the toughest years for this generation. This piece caught my eye simply because of the roughness yet innocence of the child’s appearance. I have a nine year old little sister who I’ve helped raise with my single mother. It’s been extremely hard having to watch her slowly lose hope in ever going back to normalcy during the pandemic. The face of sadness in this child’s face is far too familiar. I believe this piece is different from other cement pieces because most cement art is simple and too rough but Vich was able to incorporate innocence in such a rough material. The clothing on the child seems dirty but Vinch was able to bring back smoothness and cleanliness on the child’s face.I believe the value came from the difficulty in the execution because of how hard it must have been to put that much detail into such a tough material like concrete. Every movement you make can negatively change the sculpture if not done correctly.

The color way of the artwork is representing the colors of Sf from the gold and red. Also, the 49ers! I love how it is a bow because it will attract many people.

This piece caught my eye so quickly because of the familiarity that it contains. Coming from a small village in Oaxaca traveling is done mainly by foot or donkey. Icks was able to implement traditional clothing in such a beautifully spray-painted piece. The saying you’ll never walk alone was especially used during this time because of the new president that came into office during that year. Many minorities came together in support of the awful statements the president had been making and this quote meant a lot to the Mexican immigrant community. This piece is in my opinion better than other spray paintings because of the commitment to only using black and white, and the details included. Most spray painting art is very abstract and includes many different colors but this mural is so meaningful and says a lot without the use of color. I believe the concept was most important in the value involved with executing this piece because Icks had a huge idea that involved great skill due to all the shading that had to be done.

Title: Fruits, Flowers 
Year: 2011
Material: plastic
This piece catch my eyes because the style of Ibalso refers to the art work of cheap and vulgar taste, commonly displayed on the wall of a barber shop. In my opinion, it was decorated with inexpensive objects such as a emitted from a nearby butcher shop and cheap plastic red flowers. ]]> 2021-03-01 06:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251594099 1. Ceramic regsocmom35 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251601952 Artist: Tashima Etsuko
Title: Cornucopia 03-III
Year: 2003 
I looked through ceramic collections from various sources, ancient pottery, beautiful vases, exotic plates, and cups, but I was drawn to various Asian collections.  The Cornucopia 03-III piece attracted my attention because of the beautiful colors.  The blue color is a unique shade blue.  The materials used are stoneware, pigments, and pate de verde glass. Pate de verre is a material processed by grinding glass into a fine paste.   It creates a textured sugar like texture.  Traditional cornucopia is an ornamental container like a horn.  This design has the basic shape of a cornucopia but in an open design.  A cornucopia symbolizes the abundance of food.  I find the sculpture exceptional because of the combination of materials, element of the design, and the colors.  I believe the main value of the object comes from the concept Tashima Etsuko had for the piece.  Unfortunately, I am not sure of about difficulty of the process.  The information on the piece listed one of the materials pates de verde glass.  I searched for information on the material and found information Pate de Verre which means glass paste.  The process requires creating a mold which seems very difficult especially considering the design element of the cornucopia.

Title: Vase
Year: 1893-1896
This piece caught my eye because of the colors and the texture to the glass.  I believe it is exceptions because of the interesting shape of the vase.  It is not a traditional-looking vase.  The artist who worked for Tiffany and Company used Favrile glass.  Tiffany developed this unique method of glassmaking that treats molten glass with metalic oxides.  The oxides were absorbed into the glass and created a irridescent effect.

Ruby Lips with Teeth Like Pearls” brooch by Salvador Dali 1949 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251618926 Salvador Dali modeled this brooch after the lips of Marilyn Monroe, he used 18 karat gold, natural rubies and pearls to create this beautiful and expensive piece. Of all the different jewelry Dali created this one popped out at me because it translated to fantasy jewelry. He once said of his jewelry “Without an audience, without the presence of spectators, these jewels would not achieve the function for which they were created. The viewer is thus the final artist. His look, heart and mind with greater or lesser ability to understand the creator’s intention, imbue the jewels with life.” ]]> 2021-03-01 06:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251618926 Dagger (kris) Indonesia, Bali approx. 1700-1800 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251628211 From the Asian Art Museum 6/20/2014 - 9/14/2014 I love this particular set of pieces because it is very detailed visually and it is made of so many types of materials: steel, iron, wood, gold, jewels and ivory. ]]> 2021-03-01 06:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251628211 4.

I love that he created a cold-working lathe so there is no heat used to make his sculptures. His artwork is simply sparkly and has even made it onto The Guardians of the Galaxy. His work is hard to miss especially when the sunlight hits his sculpture. The difficulty involved to create these sculptures is what drew my attention and the beauty of these pieces in the light is what kept it.]]> 2021-03-01 06:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251673747 Waterfall, Artist: Hiroshi Senju 1995 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251679432 This particular piece displays how the artist utilized his skills to display such fine detail using metallic colors on paper, making this painting look like a real photograph. ]]> 2021-03-01 06:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251679432 3. Textiles regsocmom35 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251716340 Artist: Jack Lenor Larsen
Title: High Range
Year: 1970
 
This piece caught my eye because of the colors.  That seems to be my response for many of these art pieces. I viewed many tapestries, woven textiles, but the color in this piece feel soothing and peaceful.  I also enjoyed the texture that the material provided.  It reminds of the mountains, nothing specific, just the calming effect that a mountain range view provides.  I think the combination of colors make the piece exceptional.  I believe the material provides much of the value of the object.  The material provides the color and the texture, but the artist’s vision is what pulled the piece together.

Title: Floyd and Lucille Burroughs on Porch Hale County Alabama
Year: 1936
 
This piece caught my eye because of the expression of Floyd and Lucille. Many of the other photographs in the exhibit were of object and they didn’t hold my attention.  The picture was taken during the U.S. Depression.  I connected with the photograph because the family displays dignity and strength. The photograph is exceptional because it is honest. I believe the value of the photo comes from the photographer’s skill at capturing the father and daughter situation in a moment in time.

Year: 2017
Everything about this piece caught my eye.  I was looking at various sculptures with steel and they were beautiful, but this piece had a flow that I appreciated.  I like how the shadows also provide an effect to the overall piece, of tranquility. I cannot begin to imagine how the artist envisioned this piece or put it together.  It is exceptional because of the scale of the piece and it seems to defy gravity.  The value comes from the concept of the artist.  I would love to see this exhibit in person.  I do not believe the photograph gives it justice.

This is a rare type called steatopygous and indicative of fertility. The thing that caught my eye was the shape and form of the body. It can remind people of the different body types that there is and no one's body is the same or "perfect". I believe the value comes mostly from the material itself but also from the concept of the piece. Marble can be expensive but the concept could also make the value go up.]]> 2021-03-01 07:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251770897 "Five Jewels" 1300 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/ws4ymo1x0zzidtq5/wish/1251807840 This piece caught my attention because it is unique. It looks like it was done with patience and a lot of effort. It did not have much description but it shows that It is French and was made in 1300.
