The Getty Museum III This is the last part already. There are still some ceramic pictures in this part, though. Can you guys tell how much I love ceramics? Look at this work!!! OMG!!! I wanna have one. There are hug collections of glass works at the Getty, but I took only couple pictures of them. To be honest, the glass works here didn't attract me as much as ceramic works. But came to think about it in the fact that all glass works here were made several hundred years ago... the works are super-duper awesome. We were trying to imitate a nature form and creating arts out of it. The idea of simplicity had arrived here...on earth longer than what we could think of. I now believe that everything repeats itself not only histories, but also artworks. This is the last collection. "The Music for the Masses." I found one article about the exhibition on website. It's pretty interesting. So I decided to copy and post it here. Before the advent of the 15th century printing press that eventually made books available to the masses, Christian priests, monks and nuns in the Middle Ages relied on rare, handmade and colorfully illustrated choir books to preserve their music generation to generation. Music in the religious world in Europe had been passed down orally until the 800s, when monks began to transcribe their melodies onto the parchment of their choir books. Now more than 40 of these works, dating from 1170 to the early 1500s, are part of the “Music for the Masses” exhibit at the Getty Center. “These manuscripts offer one of the best windows into learning about the Middle Ages,” said Christine Sciacca, assistant curator of the Getty Museum’s department of manuscripts. “It shows not just what people saw but also what sound was like back then.” Beginning in the 800s in Europe, music was first transcribed with “neumes,” which look like a cluttered collection of rising and falling dots and lines. Rather than representing specific notes to be sung as is done today, the neumes instead indicated whether the vocalist should go higher or lower in pitch and how long to hold a tone. Eventually, around the 1260s, the chants became more elaborate and the neumes were replaced by small squares written along a horizontal , usually red, four-line staff. Today, notes are written in rounded forms on a five-line staff. By reporter Francisco Vara-Orta Los Angeles Times Credit to "anglicanmusic.blogspot.com" These books are huge...very huge. I believe this one is as big as a huge window. This one is not as big as the top one, but I believe it's still very difficult to carry it around. OMG!!! almost 9pm... Don't wanna go...can I stay overnight here? Thank you so much...for visiting. Good Luck to you all.   Create Date : 14 Á¡ÃÒ¤Á 2551     Last Update : 1 ÁԶعÒ¹ 2557 2:19:32 ¹.

The Getty Museum II One thing I like so much about The Getty is that there are many different kinds of artworksother than just paintings and drawingsthat you can see over there. I guess because I took ceramic and jewelry classes before. After I knew how hard it was to make only a piece of artwork. I treasure them even more. I was so impressed with this wood work. Look at the details!!! It's so delicate. This crown was made from real GOLD. I wanna have one!!! I took a lot of ceramic pictures because my grandparents from my father's side founded a ceramic company long before my dad was born. The company was handed over to my uncle and aunts. I ran and played inside the factory since I was little. All of my neighbors were my relatives and the factory was just right there beside our houses.  The factory was our playground. I guess this is one of the reasons why, without even noticing, I was always drawn to ceramics. So I couldn't stand   to take lots of ceramic pictures. The first thing that came into my mind after I saw all of these ceramics was...these are paintings. The unique thing was these paintings were painted on ceramics not canvases. How cool!!! Since I took ceramic class before and plus several failures my uncle has made during the painting process on ceramics. I knew it's very hard to get the right colors. In order to get the right colors, You basically need to mix the right amount of chemical ingredients and use the right temperature when you put your ceramics in the oven. There are lots...lots of works, but look at these awesome jobs. I can't believe all pieces were made hundred years ago. This is the last picture on Part II. Again...hope everyone enjoy my trip. Thank you so much for visiting.   Create Date : 12 Á¡ÃÒ¤Á 2551     Last Update : 1 ÁԶعÒ¹ 2557 1:47:23 ¹. Counter : 326 Pageviews.   Share Tweet

The Getty Museum I Last semester I needed to go to Museums for my paper assignments. One of my favorite museums  was The Getty Museum. The Getty Museum has variety collections of artworks. Since I took too many pictures, I planed to split them into 2 to 3 parts. Hope everyone will enjoy my trip. Last but not least, Happy New Year to you all :) The Museum is located on the top of the hill. The Getty Museum is so famous of its garden and architecture. This is the telescope and its cover. Love the details sooooooooo much:D And this is the last picture for the first part. Wish you all with LUCKS :D Thank you for your visiting.   Create Date : 10 Á¡ÃÒ¤Á 2551     Last Update : 1 ÁԶعÒ¹ 2557 1:01:39 ¹. Counter : 423 Pageviews.   Share Tweet
