First-Year Seminar 2017 – DMB

Academic blogpost Tyler Barrett

I went to the Ruben Museum for my Art History Class assignment with a friend of mine who was also in my class.  Admission isn’t even free anymore we actually had to pay like $5 for the admission. We went in and some guy was trying to tell us how to angle our cameras to take the pictures. Strange… Overall, I liked the theme of the museum. It was a very cool, calm temperature with a swirl staircase to go up and down the floors of the museum. This basically assisted me because I was able to learn more deeply in to what my class was based around. It showed the literal foundation of the colors and which represented them and what they meant of their deity. It gave me a good grade toward my class since I typed a paper and learned more about that topic.

The one with the human with one arm out got my attention when I was strolling around the exhibition hall. The is Buddha Shakyamuni. It was made amid the eighteenth Century in Tibet. It was painted on a shade of material. The essential shading utilized as a part of this work of art is red, green, gold, and blue. The blue shading in this work of art influences the composition look unwinding and quiet.

 

 

This is the Hindu deity, the first one I came across. Siddha Lakshmi is the Indian Goddess in this painting. The goddess is holding different things in each of her numerous arms. The video shows the different traits of the certain deities. The four hands take on the four ends of human life being: wealth, genuine desires, righteousness, and liberation from death and birth. The four arms indicate the 4 different directions in space as well as the omnipotence of the Goddess.
