Boston Museum Of Science Trip

At the Boston Museum of Science, my group first visited a hall where we saw taxidermy animals. There we saw various animals and exhibits explaining the animals' natural habitats. We watched the "Super Cold Science" show, where a worker used liquid nitrogen to make a volcano. We then saw an exhibit decidxted to explaining the habitat in rivers near the museum. A worker let us look under a microscope and see the microbes swimming around in the river water. It was really cool, and Monroe and I jokingly gave the microbes names. After that, we saw the lightning show which was incredible. One of the workers stood in a metal cage while lightning shocked it, however he was protected and didn't get shocked as well. He then steteres the lightning in a way so it sounded like it was playing the "Ghostbusters" theme. After a lunch break, we visited the Hall Of Human Life. Soti and I ran through the motion scanners which told us how many calories we'd burn if we ran at that speed for a while. We also saw baby chicks and tamarin monkeys. All in all, it was an interesting and educational day.

    This is a really cool blog and I like the fact that you wrote a lot of details about your trip. However, I wish to see more about how these things look artistic to you and how does them influence you as an artist. Also, more pictures will make the blog more vibrant.

Emilie Steele

Emilie Steele is a 3D artist from Stockholm, Sweden who specializes in dollmaking. Her dolls are all handmade individually from clay, and then silicon molds are made and later casted in resin. All the clothes, wigs, and accessories are handmade as well. Steele's dolls are very unique, as each one is made individually and carefully. They're very grotesque and odd, having scarily realistic faces often seen with bloodshot eyes and a solemn expression. Despite the creepiness to it all, these dolls are beautiful works of art that immediately caught my eye. I'm interested in dollmaking, and these unique creations are unlike anything I've ever seen before.

Jan Van Eyck

            Jan Van Eyck was a Netherlandish painter who immersed himself in studying the techniques of oil painting. He lived from 1390 c to July 1441. During his life, he lived in Belgium and mastered the ways of oil paints. He was mainly focused on religious pictures and portraits of people, but was also known for his use of symbolism. In his painting Arnolfini Portrait , a woman and her husband are seen in their bedroom with a little dog. At first glance, it seems like an average portrait, but if closer inspected, small and incredible details are hidden throughout the piece. An example of this is the mirror on the wall of the room- if looked at closely, the viewer can see the reflection of the husband, wife, and Jan Van Eyck himself.
