STEP 1
1. What is the title of the exhibit?

I'm not sure what the title of this exhibit was?  I couldn't find where the title was located but I didn't want that to discourage me from using this exhibit because I found it very interesting.  

2. What is the theme of the exhibition?

The them that I think this exhibit was about was nudity and nature.  These are the two things that I found flowing consistently throughout the exhibit   

STEP 2
1. What type of lighting is used?

The lighting that is being used is the florescent lighting that is used mainly in the art gallery. 

 2. What colors are used on the walls?

The wall are painted white.  I think this helps draw the viewers attention to the paintings. 

3. What materials are used in the interior architecture of the space?

The aren't any materials used in the interior of this space.  I think the main thing that ties this space together and what makes this feel like an exhibit is the frames that are used to display the paintings.  

4. How is the movement of the viewer through the gallery space?

The movement of this gallery is a bit steal.   The walls are plain and its very boxy.  They have great art pieces.  To some people this flow might work, but for me it was kind of dull.  

1. How are the artworks organized?

I think that this artworks are organized based on which ones are nude and which ones focus on nature.  I noticed that all the ones of nude females were off to the left and more towards the back, while the paints of nature where more towards the front.  The frames are what tied everything together.  

2. How are the artworks similar?

This artworks are similar because they all have something to do with the beauty of nature, be it the natural figure of a women's body or a the beauty of the natural environment.  

3. How are the artworks different?

The artworks differ because they are all done by different artist all searching of different out comes.  

4. How are the artworks framed?

This is the most interesting part of this exhibit.  The artworks are all framed in beautiful gold frames.  They stand out and help all the pieces tie together.   

5. How are the artworks identified and labeled?

The artworks are identified with labels, off to the side of the painting, stating the titles, dates, artist, ect.

6. What is the proximity of the artwork to each other?

The artworks are in a line approximately 2 feet apart.  

                               

  

1. The title of this painting is La Toilette.  Artist is Pablo Picasso and he made this in 1906.  The media of this painting is oil on canvas.  There are two women in this painting.  One of them are clothed while the other one is completely nude.  The one that is clothed seems to be holding a mirror and the women that is nude is looking at her reflection.  She is also messing with her hair.  The elements that I notice in this paintings are color, shape, and line.  Color is used in a natural way.  The natural color bring a since of overall calmness to the painting.  The blue dress of the clothed women stands out.  Shape is use in the figures of the two women and the simple objects of the background.  I find line being use in the women, they stand long and thin and take up the majority of the length of the portrait.  A principle that is use is  movement.  The artist has arranged the figures in a way so the viewer knows the story line.  This painting doesn't remind me of anything.  I think the artist is tying to show the beauty of the human female body.  

2.  

The title of this painting is Peasants in the Field.  The artist is Camile Pissarro, he made this in 1890.  The media is oil on a canvas.  This is a painting of workers in a filed done farm work.  There is a man and a women and it seems like a hot sunny day.  The element that stands out the most is color.  The artist has used color to express a certain emotion.  The artist has used many different colors throughout the color while.  This allows the picture to have a bright and vivid effect.  The principle that is noticeable is emphasis.  The artist wants the viewers to focus on the two works in the foreground of the painting.  I have never worked on a farm so this painting doesn't remind me of anything I have experienced in my life.  It does however look similar to other painting I have seen of plantations.  I think the artist is trying to show the importance of hard labor.  

3. 

The last painting I selected was the painting on the left of the picture above.  This is Le Bassin du Jas de Bouffan.  The artist is Paul Cezanne and he made this in 1878.  The media of this artwork is oil on a canvas. 

Again the main element that this artist focused on was color.  This is a painting of a tree in front of what seems to be a source of water. The artist used many different shades of green to express the feel of nature and the liveliness of the trees.  Pattern and repetition are used in this painting to give life to the leaves. Also movement is used in the leaves.  They appear to be swaying in the wind.  This artwork reminds me of a cool summer day.  Its very comfortable and gives me a relaxed feeling when I view it.  I think the artist is trying to say, enjoy nature.  Don;t let the beautifulness of life pass you bye.  

4.  I think this was a great visit.  I made me look at the art gallery in a different way. I didn't look at the artworks as individuals, I looked at them as a group.  This was a great way to see what links artworks together and what makes them different.
