Today, we went to the
Indianapolis Art Museum. We specifically went to look at the African art, since we are currently studying African art.
 |
Of course, I loved the textiles. |
 |
Kuba people- Woman's skirt: raffia palm fiber 1950-1975 |
 |
Dinka people- girl's torso garment: glass beads, cowrie shells, metal wire- 1930-1970 |
 |
Dominic had a few favorites, including this bracelet mad by the Asante people. |
 |
He also liked this towered pavilion made in China in about 100 CE. As you can see, he got very into writing about things. He took a small notebook and pen in order to take notes. He rarely writes willingly, so I am very happy. |

Yoruba people- ritual staff 1920-1950 |
 |
Bamum or Bamessing people: condiment vessel or oil lamp 1910-1950 |
 |
This was a beautiful bowl made by the Zulu people in 1990-1996. It's made of plastic covered telephone wire! |
 |
Gabriel was most interested in ancient things like this chalice made in China around 2400-2000 BCE |
 |
Xavier liked the Egyption things, like this Canopic Jar in the Form of a Jackal from 664-332 BCE |
 |
Mirro Isis with Horus as a Baby 1539-1295 BCE |
 |
We all liked the memorial to President Benjamin Harrison. |
 |
I liked this painting by Edward Hopper titled "New York, New Haven and Hartford". I t seemed like something I would see close to my house. |
We also looked at Contemporary Art, but the only two things we liked were
Floor by Suh, Do-Ho, and our favorite piece in the museum,
Mobius Ship by Tim Hawkinson.
