I see round flowers painted in primary and secondary colors. An image of a white person turned sideways and it even looks like a bed with pillows. I see the blue sky up in the left hand corner and I see verticle circles that look like rain drops. To me it symbolizes a bedroom with wall paper . I am not quite sure what the artist is trying to say, maybe a flower bed or bedroom with flower wall paper.


This is a wooden totum pole hand carved out of wood using the subtractive process. This pole features a circus and all of the performers. The 3 dimentional pole is hand carvedand has a visual weight of heaviness. The viewers eye travels the straight line upward visualizing shapes and figures of animals, performers and complementary colors lets the circus come alive. I feel the artists wants the viewer to enjoy the circus. Circus have been around for hundreds of years and the fun of them should live on forever.

In this artwork the humans are made out of fine wire and the box housing them is made of staniless steel. There is a family if three shapped with geometric shapes and lines. The lighting from the display helps to see the blance and the unity. I feel the artist is trying to tell how fragile life can be. The delicate visual humans are symbolic of fagile mankind.

I found Burchfield Penney Museum to have different themes around the museum. It was different because there were all different types of art including furniture, pottery clay, watercolors, charcoals, oils on canvas, sketches, wall drawings, woodcarvings, fantasy,photographs,lithographs,graphic designs, leather, wire, engine parts and even some calligraphy. The Museum would have some of the art work organized by the artist and some of the pieces were random. Some of the artwork was framed with gold leaf wooden frames, some were canvas, black frames, and some were even in glass cases. I most of the pieces were mounted on white walls. Some of the walls were curved and some of them were free standing. Some of the photographs were not on the walls they were displayed at eye level easels for reading purposes. Artwork was identified by the artists and some artwork stood out on its own and identified by its theme. I found this museum to be more personalized and individualized works of art. I could see personality of the artists, as apposed to the Albright Knox I found the world of art. I am trying to figure out if it was because of the way the museum was illustrated or if it was the different types of art, being more individualized.
