Visiting the Miami Art Museum
The Miami Art Museum boasts a diverse collection of works, with a focus upon contemporary, Miami-based artists. The Museum is designed to promote intercultural exchange by emphasizing art drawn from the diverse heritages of the residents of Miami. This can be seen in the Abstract Expressionism of the Cuban artist Carlos Alfonzo. Alfonzo's works have religious themes, but these themes are elliptically expressed because of his style, which recalls that of Jackson Pollock's splatter paintings. For example, En Carne (In Flesh) and En Espiritu (In Spirit) are two large abstract paintings designed to represent these competing principles. The paintings have slightly more coherence than a Pollock, however, and there are clear images of nails, human limbs and arrows hidden in the cool swirls of color.
According...
The arrows are a reference to the martyrdom of St. Sebastian. They are overpowering, disturbing, and beautiful all at the same time (Carlos Alfonzo, 2012, Miami Art Museum). They refer to the two, competing aspects of Christ -- flesh and spirit. The paintings look similar, reflecting the united aspects of this dual nature, even though they are distinct works themselves and could be appreciated as enclosed entities. When I read his biography on the Museum website, I later learned that Alfonzo had died of AIDS and that the paintings were composed after a trip to Italy while he was suffering with the disease (Carlos Alfonzo, 2012, Miami Art Museum).
Although most of the works in the Museum were unfamiliar to me, I did recognize some of the creations of Frank Stella. I had not heard his name before, but his large, geometric shapes recalled some of the styles of modern art I had encountered…

Cultural Event Report: Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the Museum of Art at Fort Lauderdale. Surprisingly, I had never been to the museum before. It sits adjacent to Nova University, in a very beautiful and modern section of the city. The very moment I walked up to the doors, I was excited. The museum is a very interesting exterior composition, with the bright coat
Getty Museum Before making plans to personally visit the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, I spent an hour or so researching the museum, Mr. Getty, and some of the issues that this richest of all art museums had recently faced. The assignment calls for finding out what is available to see, and I also found out what was not available to see. One important statue that I would
Cultural Event The Dallas Museum of Art has several temporary exhibitions on display now. One is called "Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties." Another related but separate exhibition is called "Texas in the Twenties: Prints, Drawings, and Photographs from Lone Star Collections." Because both special exhibitions focus on a specific point in time in American and Texan history, it was helpful to view both together on the same day.
Epistemological Analysis of a Personal Experience In people's most ordinary encounters with new information, and in their most refined knowledge pursuits, as human beings our beliefs regarding knowing and knowledge affect us. Human beings personal epistemologies, epistemic cognition, mean of knowing or epistemological theories get activated during the process of knowing and learning. For instance, when we read newspapers, we usually make judgment concerning the trustworthiness made in the newspapers. Similarly,
Thus, we assume that children gifted in the arts are every bit as intellectually endowed as those with academic gifts. The relationships among giftedness, talent development, and creativity are challenging areas of research. Because researchers lack consensus about what constitutes creativity itself, progress in developing operational definitions of "creativity" has been slow (Clark & Zimmerman, 1992-page 344; Csikzentmihalyi, 1996; Hunsaker & Callahan, 1995-page 2). Although some scholars agree that creative
The cultural activity I attended was a performance at Bell Auditorium in Augusta, Georgia, on November 9th, 2017. It was entitled “The Music of Journey” and, upon hearing the title, I expected to be taken on a journey of music throughout time. I was very surprised to see that it was actually the music of “Journey” the band that was formed in the 1970’s. The venue itself was nice. The one
