Visiting The Museum of Art and Design

  Godspeed good readers. The Museum of Art and Design, also known as MAD, is located at 2 Columbus Cir, New York, and sits right across from the entrance of Central Park. Viewing the museum in person is a thrilling experience, the piece they displayed was from jewelry to ceramics to paper dress and clothes. The museum had a variety of different art mediums displayed, and each floor was its gallery with a different theme on every floor. I believe there were 5 floors, starting with the fifth floor the show was called “ Funk You Too! Humor and Irreverence in Ceramic Sculpture” collecting 50 artworks from the ’60s till the present day, these works expand on Funk’s legacy of humor and expressive figurations.  Personally, this exhibit was one of the most colorful and my favorite with the different characters and animals involved and how the sculptors felt like they had come to life. There were a lot of pieces that caught more eye but the one that came to life would be “Monster (Burp...

Public Art

 Public Art That Surrounds Us          Godspeed readers of mine. Jersey City is a city supporting its artists,  you walk out and see many different types of art on each corner. Every piece has its own style, color, and aesthetic to it, you begin to see more artwork on almost every corner, tall buildings that are not made out of glass or reflective have some sort of art piece on them commissioned by the city.   I shall be talking about a piece that I see on a daily base, especially growing up. It is one of my favorite pieces going down Central avenue, and this avenue has many pieces of work as you walk through it. It is a bit hidden unless you turn your head as you cross the street to look at it or are walking down this block this is the “Splash of Color” by Ed Morris located on Franklin Street and Central Avenue. This is a koi fish mural that drones the side of a drug pharmacy. The way Morris captures the movement of the fish swimming is ...

PRISM

            This small article,” Camilla d’Errico “Prism” @ Haven Gallery, Northport, NY” talks about the surrealism Camilla d’Ericco creates. It details her show Prism, where the art gives a sort of bust of emotion through the painting with the colorful paints she uses to contrast the different gray and neutral colors she uses. The author describes these colors as “ Similar to the color spectrum, emotion covers a vast range, with intermingling elements and complexities”. Agreeing with what the author is saying I do like the way the color kind of jumps out from the neutral figures she makes, showing us the emotion the character contains pouring out.                                                                               Another article called “ ...
