Columbus Before The Queen
by: Andrew Palacios, Samuel Meyerovich, Ashir Raffe, Daniel Ostrom
The historical significance of this piece is one that echoes the discovery of the New World. This discovery, in turn, sparked the interest of Europeans to build what is America today. For that reason, it is incredible how Columbus is the centerpiece of the painting and is thus wearing bright red clothing. The artist's intentions for this piece is to demonstrate the power that the New World – America – already has despite not being influenced by colonization. This is further presented by the use of bright colors around Columbus and those near him. The proud look of the subject of the painting is contrasted by the varying expressions of the king, queen, and royal subjects. Nevertheless, this is a powerful piece due to the foreshadowing of American values, culture, and civilization that will begin to emerge in the near future within the context of this masterpiece.

Herter Brothers’ Mantle
by: Jadyn Marshall, Matt Denaro, Benji Freeman, Ashley Singh
Description, formal properties and subject is what we mostly focused on. We guessed about the historical context. We could have discussed more the historical context of the piece.

A Storm in the Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rosalie
by: Joseph Gurbo, Simon Heimowitz and Shana Ravvin
We mostly focused on our description of the painting and describing what we found interesting or what formal properties we found to be beautiful. We also discussed historical context and content such as when the painting was made and what it was depicting.
Something that our discussion lacked was "interrogation". We did not ask any questions while interpreting the piece. One thing that we would like to know more about was what message the artist was trying to convey through the painting. If we had more time we would do more research.

Uncommon Woman
by: Dan Jung, Ryan Seerattan, David Kang, Shira Shkedi
There were many different kinds of analysis in our conversation at the museum that described our painting. Firstly, we discussed the historical context of the painting, Kiss Me and You'll Kiss the 'Lasses by Lilly Martin Spencer. The painting was created around the 1800-1890 — the painting's subject was very uncommon at this time period. Spencer was trying to communicate to the viewers that it was uncommon at this time for a independent female artist to be so bold. Furthermore, we went on to describe the painting physically; from size and matter to content. We could have analyzed the formal properties more — specifically, we could've talked about the different lines, shapes, material, and composition.

Women in a Patriarchy World
by: Sade Thomas
I focused on the literal meaning of the world. I did focus on some details of the works but tried to connect them to each other. I also tried to show how the theme of the works change based on the time period. If I had more time I would have like to go into a deeper analysis of each piece by itself.

Brooklyn Museum Art Project
by: Amanda Zhang, Hengyuan (Roy) Lin, Aaron Empedrado, Mindy Aloff
We made a lot of observations by first stating what we saw in the painting. Then once we finished describing what we saw on the surface, we began delving deeper into the implications behind what we saw. We did a lot of comparisons as well. We compared the animals we saw in the painting to other texts that reminded us of it. For instance, we mentioned the "Jungle Book" and "Where the Wild Things Are." By comparing the things we saw in the painting to these texts, it helped us get a better understanding of the artist's intention of painting this. In addition, we used a historical context analysis. Although we had some idea of when the painting was painted, we made assumptions about the subjects we saw in the painting especially the indigenous people and the European explorers. We didn't do a formal properties analysis, and if we had more time we would have talked more about the artist's choices in composition.

The Last Days of Pompeii
by: Sarah Sass & Allison Eng
We analyzed the formal properties, subject matter, artist's intention, and the historical context. We also described the painting quite a bit. However, due to lack of time, we didn't get the chance to interrogate as much as we should have. We also would have liked to go more in depth about the subject matter/content of the artwork.

Amulets
by: Rebekah Laguerre, Sneha Sajan, Samuel Keselman, Vinila Varghese, Melissa Chan
In retrospect, we should have looked at each amulet individually, and noted the details of each. In particular, we should have noted more of the specific mediums of each amulet. We had a general description as to when the amulet was created (Ancient Egypt) ;however, we did not specify the particular time period. We did not discuss in depth about the intention of the artists, because it was a large collection of amulets. There were bandages at the base of the exhibit that we did not discuss about.
At first we thought they were kids toys, but they were amulets. There was a booklet on the side with all the gods and goddesses, the amulets were based on. We were wondering why the Amulets were made and what they meant. We talked a lot about the materials and the colors, wondering how the dyes were made. We knew the amulets had to do with religion, specifically polytheistic form, because of the depiction of gods and goddesses. We discussed the importance of the afterlife to the ancient Egyptians and how depending on your status, their burial rights were different.
