Getty Museum

The historic and famous Getty is unbelievable, perched high on the mountains above Los Angeles, the Getty has a perfect location. When I went to go the museum, it was not the most serene day, however the scenery was still amazing. I looked at the gardens, when I was walking through the garden it was nice to take everything in. But when I got up to the higher levels above the garden, there was a more elaborate lay out to the garden.

 Over the top of the garden there is a great lay out to the garden that is extremely well planned out. I also saw that there was a geometrical lay out which was aesthetically pleasing.

 Overall, the Getty Museum is amazing how large in scale it is. I like the marble lay out of the whole Museum was awesome.

Fowler Museum

First of all I had no clue that the Fowler Museum on campus actually had museum exhibitions more than just the classrooms on the bottom floor. I visited the Making Strange exhibition which was extremely interesting. I thought it was extremely unique the way the artist used different materials to create works of art. The one piece below was made out of metal rappers from chocolate coin candy. The artist made jacket using only these and the normal cotton material.

The piece below had I thought was really powerful. I thought it took a nice spin on the original piece the "Thinker". But this piece had a a new take, the artist made it a women who is standing appearing to run. Which I think could be a take that the artist believes society is progressing. I really liked this artwork. Fowler Museum is a must go. 

Hammer Museum

The Hammer Museum was a very cool experience to go check out. I thought it had a much different atmosphere than any other museum I went to during this quarter, let alone in my life. The firs thing that had caught my attention that I am not sure was even an exhibition to look at but it was the chairs that were located in the middle of the courtyard. The chairs looked like they were spinning tops that were put upside down so you could sit on them. They rotated all the way around and relcining in a 360 degree way that made they very interesting.

The piece of art that caught my attention in one of the exhibitions that I saw was the piece below. I thought it was perfect for the topic we talked about with art and math. Looking at the stairs on the bottom of the throne it used two point perspective to show 3 dimensional shape. Also I thought that the realistic aspects of the painting showed the anatomical realism involved in the painting. Overall I enjoyed the Hammer Museum.
