Gallery Paper Assignment

Weatherspoon Art Museum

Weatherspoon Art Museum offers varieties of art daily. One of the interesting fortes of

the museum is the rotating exhibits. Different exhibits for contemporary arts are displayed

depending on the monthly celebrations and occasions.

The museum has two floors filled with galleries and auditoriums. On the first floor, Falk

Gallery, and Tannenbaum Gallery can be visited along with a spacious auditorium, the Dillard,

a spring garden, a sculpture courtyard in the entrance, an atrium mural, and a classroom. Each

space is filled with modern art by accomplished artists. For instance, the atrium mural is filled

with Sheena Rose’s unique and spirited paintings that focus on her historical and personal

context. In Sheena Rose: “Pause and Breathe, We Got This,” Rose’s painting is vibrant and

bursting in colors. The work of art screams the artist’s heritage. Rose’s use of pastel

colors makes the painting look lively and animated. However, the canvas is also

done in emotive colors and patterns. Her paintings are telling the audience of her

story as a black woman from the Caribbean. The artworks in the atrium mural are all done

by a single artist – Sheena Rose. Guild Gallery, Ivy Gallery, Gallery 6,

and McDowell Gallery are on the second floor. At McDowell Gallery, two-dimensional

paintings are displayed along with three- dimensional artworks. Ostensibly So’s

“Sculpture from the Collection” is made from cedar and pigment. The historical context of the

collection is just one of the information that can be seen in the spoon-ladle. The light brown

color of the ladle shows the possibility for reference in ancient use. It was mentioned that during

the making of the displays, humor, symbolism, and personification were considered.

concepts of the paintings stay within the line of sceneries, animals, and portraits. Most of the arts

are focused on the artists’ personal context.

Aside from the manual artworks, the gallery also gives credit to photography. Jeff Botz’s

Photographs of the Himalayan Mountain Region, are printed in black and white. The photos

exhibit the struggle of climbing up the highest mountainous area in the world. It conveys to the

audience the fight against nature – wind and glaciers – and the happiness of surviving the long

hike. Reference:
