Yale Art Gallery

Hello everyone, I went to the Yale Art Gallery on Tuesday. I took a walk on my lunch break. It's been so long since I've been there, so much has changed. I remember when it was being remodeled; it really has changed. Well, I took a few photos, there is a Picasso display that I manged to get a few photos before I was stopped by one of the gaurds. I was told that all of the work didn't belong to them so I could not take pictures... I managed to get a few. I will be uploading my pictures soon.

Help!

Professor,

I am trying to create a blog on my page with my papaer. However, my pictures are all being put on the top of the page? I can't write a paragraph then add an image?

Help! I tried blogger help but there is nothing on there?

Please let me know! I want o publish my paper but I am having trouble!

Attendance Reminder

By now, everone should have their own blog up and running as well as your tentative list of outings posted there....

Albertus is requiring me to take attendance twice a week for the duration of the class. The registrar's office sweeps through the online attendance record each week and records what's there. The only practical way for me to do that is to record posts to this blog in the following week... in otherwords, posts made last week will be recorded this week for last week's attendance... Each unique post to this blog counts as a present in the attendance sheet.

Use this space to keep us up to date on your progress or to make comments like Ryan did about the Pollack painting on Google's search engine page....

Google HomePage!

Hey I just wanted to throw this out there, I am sure everyone has been to the Google HomePage, Checkout the rendition done for Jackson Pollock. That is incredible! I never realized how much art I see on a daily basis until I really think about it... Apparenlty, it was put up to celebrate Jackson Pollock's Birthday! Happy Birthday Mr. Pollock!

I've created my blog!

Introducing ..............

ME...... yay ( please you're tooooo kind)! ANYHOO, I'm Aisha, an Art Therpy major here at Albertus. I also like to consider myself to be an aspiring artist, I paint and collage ( together and seperate) and whatever else comes to mind, my parents are also pretty artistic. So I try to stay suurounded by these things. Featured above are some of my favorite artist.......I have been to a few museums including the Met ( 1 of my favs) and Wadsworth, taught a few art classes at my local community center, middle and high schools. I also own 1 child ( just joking), I have a wonderful little dancer named Nadirah who keeps me busy. I can't really post a tentative schedule because 3 days a week I'm in Harlem fro my daughter's dance class and when i'm not there I'll be interning with the Creative Arts Workshop BUT what I can say is that I will be at a museum, come hell or high water, once a week, I may even squeeze in 2 a day. I will be posting shortly my misadventures, see you all very soon.

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to update everyone that I am back from the Great North (Portland Maine) with great images from the Portland Museum of Art. I will be posting my first paper this week; however, I wanted to provide everyone with a schedule I was able to draft this weekend:

(Portland Museum of Art)

January 31, 2009 –The Wordsworth Antheneum in Hartford, CT

February 7, 2009 – Yale Art Gallery

February 14, 2009 - he British Art Museum at Yale

February 21, 2009 – The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, CT

February 28, 2009 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York

This is a very intense Schedule, but I have a feeling that this is going to be so enjoyable!

HI!!!

I'm finally posting!! My name is AnnMarie and I am a Junior at Albertus, working a towards a business degree. Wish I was close to graduating, but I'll get there!! I went down town to the British Art Museum today... FYI the museum is only open Tuesdays through Sunday....That's what I get for not checking first...Had fun any way! So my first blog really is a two parter...heading back in tomorrow morning.. cmbdayspa.blogspot.com. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

Link to my blog and tentative museum schedule

Hello again,

Please accept this message as a formal invitation to read my blog! The address to get there is: http://greenwoman69.blogspot.com/ and I will be adding to it often, so come back often!


I have one question with regard to setting up my museum schedule and that is "Do galleries count as museums?" The reason I ask is because some Galleries, for instance the Yale Art Gallery, is really a museum but other galleries are just that -- a place to view and buy art. Please advise as to whether or not some of the "galleries" in the Hudson Valley (NY) area would count as a museum experience and thanks!

My tentative museum schedule is the following:

1/31/09 -- Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven: They will be opening a fantastic exhibition by the name of Picasso: The Allure of Language this Wednesday.

2/7/09 -- Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford: I went when I was a little kid...this should be an adventure!

2/14/09 -- MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA: fantastic installation of Sol LeWitt that just makes you grin! I was there for the opening which gave me no time to explore the rest of the museum -- not the best way to visit a museum for the first time, but this visit will make up for it!

2/20-2/22/09 -- The Met, the Guggenheim, and hopefully the Frick in NYC: I have never been to any of these museums, so I figured that I would make a full weekend out of it and just do it! Is there such a thing as an overdose of art?

Angela's Bio.

My name is Angela Thigpen, and I am a senior working toward a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and will graduate in May. I would like to advocate for those who are unable to do so within a medical/clinical setting. I am a native of New Haven, and am employed at Yale University. I have been married for 25 years, and have two children. My 24 year-old son received his Masters Degree in May 07, and my 21 year-old daughter is a senior at Southern Connecticut State University. I enjoy spending time with my husband (high school sweetheart), reading novels and nonfiction, watching documentaries and shopping. I enjoy exploring and taking in God's beautiful creations, and look forward to visiting the museum's listed to appreciate the gift of art.

Blog one....with many to follow!

Hello everyone; my name is Nikki, I am a senior at Albertus. This journey has been a long trying one. I am excited about this class, it will give me a chance to get out and explore the many museums and galleries that I haven't been to lately.

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to provide a link to my blog http://www.blogger.com/profile/12903579568999906673 as requested, please make sure to subscribe to my blog so we can keep up to date with each other outings and maybe we can connect at a Museum. I have updated my information in “A Little About Me” check it out. I am really not sure of my planned outings to the Museums as this is all new to me, I have to really pin down some friends and my fiancé to go with me and make a day of it. I hope to have a schedule by next week.
I can tell you that this weekend I will be in Portland Maine and plan on attending a Rock n Roll Photography exhibit. Here is the website: http://www.portlandmuseum.org/ I have never been to this Museum so I am looking forward to this experience. Also the subject of music is very near and dear to my heart as you will read on my blog. Here is the picture from the Portalnd Museum's website. I captured this image to practice my ability to upload images to the blog. I am glad to see this worked; isn't techonology great!

Is this mic on?

My name is Tara Noel, a senior at Albertus Magnus College. I work in New Haven at the Yale University Art Gallery and have been employed at the University for over 10 years. I am very excited to finally be a part of this class -- one that I have trying to schedule for almost two years now!

I am especially excited about the "blogging" aspect of this class! I think that this mod should should prove to be both challenging and inspiring!

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ryan, an I am a senior at Albertus, and as you can tell by my picture on my profile my first love is music. Unfortunately, I cannot make a living at this time as a musician so I work full time for a major insurance company.

I am really looking forward to this class and discovering the museum experience!

Hello everyone! and welcome to the class blog for the Mod2 class, AH251, The Museum Experience. Here we will post images and comments each week about your adventures on the road as you travel around in your search for the sublime! I will be emailing everyone instructions on how to post on the first day of class.

To get the most out of your online class this Mod, it is important to communicate regularly with other members of the class and with me in this forum..... in fact, it is part of your grade. Post often and post early, to paraphrase a famous statement. I'm looking forward to this experience with you. It is my sincere hope that this class will be a worthwhile and enjoyable experience for you.

I'd like you to create your own blog as well as join this blog. There you will post your papers and photos on a weekly basis. Be sure to post here as this is where we build the class community. Remember to put a link to your blog along with your post here. I'll build links to your blog in the upper right hand corner as soon as I know your addresses...

I tookthis photograph at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Greek collection... notice she has a sketch book in hand and she is seated, taking her time to really study this relief...
