Art Gallery vist 2

For this art Gallery project i visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art located 1000 5th ave. Manhattan, NY. This museum has really changed since the last time I've been there and overall i had a fun time during my visit. The title of the exhibition was called "After Photoshop: Manipulated Photography in the Digital Age". The theme of the exhibition was Photography. For this visit i decided to sketch the Art Photography from the exhibition due to issues with my camera but some of the artwork from the exhibition is posted on the museums website.

1. What type of lighting is used?
     The lighting used for his specific exhibit was the basic lighting used throughout most of the museum.

2. What colors are used on the walls?
     The colors used on the walls was a basic white. I think they decided to use white because they just wanted the exhibit to really make the different photograpgy displayed stand out without any distractions.

3. What materials are used in the interior architecture of the space?
     Most of the paintings are displayed on the wall but certain ones such as "110 junction", "When I grow up I want to be a cooker", and "carnival" were either hanging from the ceiling by something of on wooden stands. Other than that the exhibit was very basic.

4. How is the movement of the viewer through the gallery space?
    The space was wide and narrow so someone who was viewing the exhibit could move around freely even if there was alot of people viewing the exhibit as well.

These are the three sketches i drew from the gallery: ( I really cant draw, but I tried)


Title: Warhead 1
Artist: Nancy Burson
Date: 1982

In the actual photograph its a picture of a white older male with dark hair and very bushy eyebrows. He has an angry disgusted look on his face. The work is very realistic because its capturing an emotion displayed on a mans face. The background of the picture is pitch black so that the only thing you notice is this man in the photo. Elements in this photo that are emphasized are value and line. Principles used in this photo are balance and emphasis.


Title: Picture of Jeen Norris old Farm in Oklahoma, hanging in the Norris Living Room
Artist: Debbie Grossman
Date: 2010

In this photograph it is a silverware plate hung up on a wall. Through the plate you see a reflection of a small family house with a white picket fence, grass, and a bunch of trees and bushes. The plate seems very expensive, like something rich people would use living in a mansion. It seemed like this piece of art was trying to make a transition by using something "rich" and reflecting something "average" through it. Elements used in this picture are shape and space. Principles that used are proportion.





Title: Untitled
Artist: Flip Dujardin
Date: 2009 Printed 2011

In this photo it looked like what appeared to be a tall building shaped like and upside down L. The building was in an open grassy space with bushes behind it. The building was a silver color so I'm guessing the building in the actual picture was made out of material resembling that color. The photo was taken on a bright sunny day. In the photo the element displayed are space, texture, shape, and line. Principles used are balance and emphasis.

1. How are the artworks organized?
    The artworks were organized very neatly. Each photo had a similar spacious distance to the other photo. Most were hung up on a wall, others were displayed in different places on the floor.

2. How are the artworks similar?
    The artworks are similar because they are all photos.

3. How are the artworks different?
    The artworks are different because some capture photos of just people, some capture photos of things or places. Some are photos that take place years ago while others are present,

4. How are the artworks framed?
    Some are in glass. Other photos have a white rim around the border.

5. How are the artworks identified and labeled?
    They are identified and labeled by title date and artist with a small background on the picture next to the information about the photos.

6. What is the proximity of the artwork to each other?
    The proximity of the works of art is in a good distance between each other. Its not displayed in any type of order such as date,place, or artist.
