During our conversation in the museum, we talked about all the historical, subject, and structural features of the sculpture. We attempted to use the historical aspects of the sculpture in order to understand the authors intent of the piece, what kind of message the author was trying to portray and how it might have been perceived. The subject itself was obviously essential to the conversation, as it served the foundation of our discussion. As for the structural features, we discussed its relevance to the other pieces in the museum, trying to understand if it had any relevance to the other artworks. If we had more time, we would have loved to do more cultural analysis of both the art piece and the author. We knew the basic Greek mythology about the mystical creature known as the Faun but we didn’t understand its connection to the author nor to America during the time. This analysis would have allowed us a more clear understanding of the movement during the time and why the author felt it necessary to be involved in the movement. If we had more time we would have liked to see the other pieces related to the movement and connect the artworks together. Possibly, we could have seen a clearer picture of not only the artwork but the movement all together.
