Module 5

Elizabeth C. Tower (1920-2013), Birmingham, 1963; oil on canvas, 25 x 37 inches (Frame: 25 x 37 inches); Gift of Liz and Peter Tower, 2006
Which artwork made an impact or impression on me: This artwork made an  impression on me because it looks like 2 sibling maybe laying out doing their homework. Eventhough Segregation had kinda ended around that time it didn't fully go into affect until 1970. Making it seem as if they may have still been in that time frame. Laying out with a book trying to educate themselves the best way that they can.

Allan M. D'Arcangelo (1930-1998), Constellation #8, 1970; acrylic on canvas, 84 x 84 inches (Frame: 84 x 84 inches); Purchased with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and Friends of the Center, 1976
Which artwork made an impact or impression on me : This artwork made an impact on me because even though the image is in black and white. The way that the figures are shaping in different directions it can be interpreted in different ways. To me it kind of looks like a snowflake.



<p>Artist Unknown , <em>Untitled View of Niagara Falls</em>, before 1889; oil on canvas, 12 &frac34; x 14 7/8 inches; Burchfield Penney Art Center, Bequest of Norman E. Mack, II</p>
Why Do I Feel a connection: The waterfall represents peace and serenity. When I  think of the waterfall I think of and endless amount of opportunities. The connection to the waterfall is that life will keep going on.


<p>Charles Cary Rumsey (1879-1922), <em>Dancing Female</em>, 1910; bronze, 10 x 3 x 6 inches; Mary A.H. Rumsey Bequest, 1991</p>
Why do I feel A connection: This is a statue of a Dancing Lady. I feel a connection towards the lady because I danced too at one point of my life. And when your'e dancing you feel care free and I believe that's what this lady is feeling in this picture not only because she is dancing but also because she looks as if she is in the nude.
<p>Charles Cary Rumsey (1879-1922), <em>Mother with Children Sketch</em>, undated; bronze, cast by Valsuani, 7 &frac12; x 3 &frac14; x 2 &frac34; inches; Gift of Mrs. Charles C. Rumsey, 2007</p>
I would like to know more about this statue because it looks as if the kids are pulling down the mother. I wonder what the artist intended when creating this statue. 
<p>Charles Cary Rumsey (1879-1922), <em>Buffalo and Calf</em>, 1914; bronze, 9 x 23 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches; Gift of the Rumsey Family, 1991</p>
I would Like to know more about this  piece of art because I don't know why the calf is following the buffalo I don't know if it is suppose to represent something.






The most important fact that I learned from in the videos is how people are depicted in artwork. Usually when creating humans we are made as statues. there is less of a chance of seeing a human statue that looks realistic. (Made of Wax)

Our Modern world is dominated by unrealistic of human beings. What I liked most about the video is when it spoke about how the Egyptians was obsessed with unrealistic human bodies.
