High Musem.

My favorite work of art was not just one piece of art by itself but the whole exhibit on the terracotta chinese army. I have never heard of that army of china before the exhibit and now i feel enlighttened that ihave had the chance to view that display.
The work of art that i like but would not take home is the helmet and vest worn by the terracotta army during battle. The reason for this is because it is extremely heavy and was said to weight 65 pounds! and the helmet alone was 30 pounds.
The thing that i did not know was the whole idea of the chinese terrocotta army. I am very glad that i had that chance to go and view this for myself.
The first sculpture when you walked into the exhibit was the kneeling archer. It was said to be feeling sad and praying for the people he lost that were close to him in battle. This mad feel sad.
The work of art that identifies a historic moment in time is the crossbow. there was a crossbow and looked to be one of the first ever made because of the pieces used to make it. even today people are still trying to make new crossbows and up date them the best they can so the terracotta army made a moment in time when the crossbow was invented
The piece of art work that remined me of someone was the huge stone that was once a step on a huge manison in china. My aunt stacy has a step like that at her house and thats why it reminded me of her.
the work of art that shocked me was a piece of art that was constructed to look like the imperias palace that as constructed entirely out of little wooden sticks.
the folk gallery is more wild and really out there where as the contemporary gallery is more taditional art and is easy to view.
The most meaningful part of the whole high art muesem was the exhibit on the terracotta army.
