I have to drive home now........


Thanks to you all for the help. Peace to all .........
Please visit my blog I am done with construction

Fellowship Art Studio Gallery

Fellowship Gallery is located in New Haven Connecticut. This Art Gallery was chosen by me because I often bring my residents here to relieve so stress. I have many times I to fall in the process of making art. Fellowship has a art Gallery that allows people with mental health issues to have art be a part of expressing their feelings. Open art Studio allows people to display and sell their art in a bigger Gallery.
The artist use their painting to project feelings, emotions and wants that socially they have a hard time. The addition of painting around people that understand you and can relate to your weaker points allows the artist to open up more.
My experience with these works at first I was just amazed by how important the work was to the artist. Then I understood that to some this was their only way to express themselves . This is just part of my current job, and it was good to include this Gallery , its special to me. Her is Allens work he makes me laugh ever time I walk in the studio.
Allen signature in his work are black lines .


I visted the Metropolitan Museum of Arts

My trip to the Bruce Museum




Hi All,

Saturday was such a beautiful day! I drove down to the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, and although the museum was smaller than I expected it was filled with many modern, historical and environmental treasures. The charming museum was situated on top of a hill and there was a nice, welcoming atmosphere throughout the museum. I had a good visit, and enjoyed this smaller museum setting because I was able to take my time and enjoy all the exhibits. I'll post more photos to my blogpage later in the week. Have a good week.

Who Gets To Call it Art?

Annie,

If you like that documentary, you will love this one..... I recommend it highly it is about Henry Geldzahler the art curator of the MOMA.

Really good stuff... It was On Demand on Comcast for the longest time not sure it if is still there!

Fun Fact....

Saw a very interesting show on the sundance chanel.. it was call Who the...is Jackson Pollock.... it was really good. The fun fact is James Wright liked to use his fingers when painting and his finger prints have been found in his paintings allowing for others to be authenticated.

My Trip to the Wadsworth Atheneum

Hi All,

I went to the WA last week, and if I had to rate all of my museum visits, this was by far the best -- the directions were clear, parking was available, and I was greeted warmly at the reception area. I also for some reason was able to appreciate the art on display, and realized all the hard work that is involved in caring for and preserving the beautiful creations. I also found that there was so much history within the museum -- it was a great experience. I'll post my photos later in the week. Stay warm!!

YALE CENTER FOR BRITISH ART



Hey y'all! Today was my visit to the Yale Center for British Art. I have not been here since high school. I got to see a few things that got my attention; there is also a exhibit on Darwin from February 12th through May 3rd, pictures were not allowed in this area. I went alone today, so you won't see me in any photos. Check out my blog later for my paper. ***Nikki

The Metropolitan Museum

Hello Everyone,
I have posted my photos and captions from my visit to the Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

Saturday I went to the "Met" talk about overwhelming... There is no way to see this whole Museum in one day it really put my "Museum Experience" rules to the test... I will tell more in my paper of my visit..
