What is a art history class that don’t always assign you to go to museum and write about something? My art history class assessment was to attend a art museum in New York City, and pick out my favorite art piece from the museum. Then describe what I see and why I picked it out. I also had to sketch the art piece I picked to write about. As I walked into this amazing building filled with culture and beauty called the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it was so overwhelming. I was overwhelmed because I didn’t know what to do first. The building is so big and they’re so many great art exhibits to choose from. I’ve just decided to go on a tour. My tour was of the Egyptian Art exhibits. While about 20 minutes in, the tour guide directed us to this beautiful Egyptian sculpture that caught my eye instant. This sculpture is called the “Offering Bearer Estate Figure”. The “Offering Bearer Estate Figure” reminded of a beautiful African queen that I use to see in old school African movies I use to watch in Barbados with my grandparents. This sculpture made me feel home and gave me good child hood memories. When I saw this sculpture, I had a flashback of me when I was 10 screaming to my grandmother “I want to be a African Queen one day!” I knew I could make a solid connection, and I definitely had more of an understanding of this piece, despite having just seen it for the first time. I just knew this was what I wanted to write about. I wrote about how I noticed that wood was the material used to create the work of art. The “Offering Bearer Estate Figure” is very noticeable carved out of wood and painted different colors. It has a ruff looking texture that looks like its carved with a knife. This piece of art “Offering Bearer Estate figure” is a woman that is walking while carrying a box on her head with her left hand and is holding a bird in her left hand. The box has a animal foot peeking out the top. It looks like it can be a cow or horse foot. I came to the conclusion that she was walking because when you look behind her, her left foot is in front and her left side of her butt is lower than the right. This artist makes a illusion that her weight is shifting while she is walking. She is bare footed is a colorful dress on. The dress is mostly a red, green, blue, black, white, and tan color. Her hair is also green. The jewelry on her ankles and wrists are the same colors as the dress. They also have the same design as the top of the dress. This is a is naturalistic and realistic subject of work. The proportion of this sculpture is good for a human figure. The women is tall and skinny. She also has big eyes and look as if she had on make up. She has very black eye liner around her eyes and very dark eye brows The bird she is holding in her right hand is painted brown and red. The paint on the bird is chipping off and it is very obvious it is wood. This was an amazing time at the MET museum. I thought it was going to be a boring project but it was fun.
