1. MoLAA is the Museum of Latin American Art. It is a museum that allows for people to learn more about the Latin American culture. Through this semester I have learned a lot about the Latin American culture and the new knowledge has given me a better understanding of the art work being presented in the museum. I have learned about the different historical event through time that has influenced some pieces.
2. Title of artwork: Venezuela

How you came across this piece, how it connects to your study of humanities:
I came across this piece by looking at the MoLAA website. It relates to my study of humanities because it shows a map and the people.
Observation:
I see some kind of map and people in all different directions. It is a really interesting piece that is kind of hard to interpret. It looks like a person is lost in a big city. The piece looks like it was done on canvas with paints. It is mainly composed of straight lines. It is a very flat piece, even the people are flat. There is not a lot of texture. The only variation is in the people. It is interesting because the background is very planned out and organized and then there are the people images. I like it because it is clean lines with a bit of chaos.
Interpretation:
This artwork is about a man in different places in a big city. The background is very planned out and clean cut. Then there is an image of a man in three different positions. It looks like the same person. I particularly like the man image that looks like he is taking off.
Judgment:
I chose this work of art because it caught my eye. It is very different. I think this work is very interesting. This work makes me feel good because it shows the variety and vulnerability of a person. I feel this way because the person is shown in three different ways and he looks kind of lost.
Questioning:
I would like to know what the artist was really trying to portray. I would like to know when this work was done to get a better idea of its meaning. I want to know what the artist was thinking when he made it. since the work is so interesting, it makes you question what the artist was thinking and trying to portray.

Assignment 5b
1. I do not know what the title of this piece is.
2.http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3DThe%2520Virgin%2520of%2520Guadalupe%26y%3DSearch%26fr2%3Dtab-web%26fr%3Dyfp-t-501&w=220&h=362&imgurl=www.astro.com%2Fim%2Fvirginguadalupe.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.astro.com%2Fastrology%2Fin_quadalup_e.htm%3Flang%3Ds&size=33.5kB&name=virginguadalupe.jpg&p=The+Virgin+of+Guadalupe&type=JPG&oid=61bdf62691714d24&no=3&tt=8,709&sigr=11n66taug&sigi=114hpvtjk&sigb=13ncntcsa
3. I came across this piece when I was looking up the Virgin of Guadalupe. It was done by Diego Rivera during the independence period. It has to do with humanities because it shows us what the people of this time believed in. It shows us the art during this period and how it was composed.
4.Observation: In this piece I see an person praising a higher person. You can tell that the higher power in this case is the Virgin of Guadalupe. The person below her is praising her with arms raised and a content look on their face. The person below her could be an angle. It looks like the work was done on some kind of paper with paints. One reason why I like this painting is because the images are not very realistic. The general shape is there but it does not portray all the features of a human face. The artist used bold shapes and earth tone colors to get his point across. This is a piece of art that was made to make a statement.
5. Interpretation: This artwork is showing us that the Virgin of Guadalupe is someone to be praised by all. The artwork is very bold and forthcoming. It is almost saying that if you cannot see the point then you are not looking at the right painting.
6. Judgment: I chose this artwork because I really like the boldness and simplicity of it. When I look at this piece I get the feeling that the person depicted in it is a very good person and is praise worthy. I feel this way because the images are so rudimentary but get the artists point across very nicely.
7. Questioning: I would like to know why the artist made his work so bold and simple. Is there a real meaning behind how he executed it or was that just how all his work was? It was done in the time where the Virgin of Guadalupe was discovered, so what prompted the artist to make such a painting? Was this painting done for religious purposes?
