Museum visit

This art work was displayed at the Joslyn museum and is untitled.  This is a mixed media piece and is made up of wax, silk flowers, tassels from a cloak, and velvet which is creating a person like figure.

I like this piece because it is not an everyday piece of art work. I like that it has an abstract feel to it but at the same time you can tell what it is. Although the creator has a meaning behind it of life and death, spiritual, and a growth and decay it is a piece that I almost feel doesn’t really need a meaning and can stand on its own.  I think this would be something neat to have at home walking through a garden.

This piece of work is called The Omaha Riverscape and is on the outside of The Joslyn Museum.  This includes Granite and water installation with academy black granite reflecting pool. There are three column fountains of mountain red, carnelian, and Dakota mahogany granite.

                I really like this piece because I like outdoor décor and I think this is not something that you see often around Omaha and is unique. In the water there is a path way under the water that zig zags from one end to the other and then comes out onto the side walk making a path of water.

The spirit of dance done in bronze in 1932. This was Lent by the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

                I really like this piece because she is graceful looking but strong at the same time. I like how she doesn’t have a lot of detail but just enough to stand out. This is a lot like how I do my works in clay.
