The Great Adventure of Naviel ^.*: Project #5 You Are The Curator!

“Greek and Roman Culture”

My task in this writing paper is different from the others field trips reaction. I am going to talk about my exhibition and experience at the metropolitan museum of art. In this trip we were ask to choose between MOMA museum and MET museum. I chose the metropolitan museum because it is good to see and learn all the beautiful stuffs that they collect from every place.

I chose this theme because it is related with the exhibitions and what they represent for us. I want the viewer see how back in the days the history and culture were so special for an artist, also I want them to learn something new about other cultures. My theme contains specific description about the exhibitions I chose.

One of the works that I would like to consider is from the European paintings and sculpture, from the artist Georges Seurat Study for “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte”. This artist made this painting so special because it shown how people dressed in those days, and the way clever people lived. This exhibition is related with my theme because you can see culture.

This painting is from Greek and Roman Art, even though does not have any similarity with the appearance, but it could be related in other way, the painting is called “Terracotta”. This type of painting shows people’s beliefs and their creative minds, for me this is a good example of culture. Even though it is only a jar with two men, this maybe represented also what they thought about culture...

My third work is from Modern Art, the artist is Joan Miro “Vines and Olive Trees” Tarragona. This painting is similar with European Painting, because it has the same structure. At the same time this painting has its own history about how people survived during that period, the colors that it has shows similarity with others artist’s paintings.

Finally I would like to present my project in connection with my field trip. My experience in MET was wonderful I had a lot of fun there and I learned about different cultures all over the world. I learned the similarity between two different artists and time, since this is the last field trip of the class, I should say that I gained something going to different museum.
