Museum of fine arts Daniel Moran

Before arriving at the museum of fine art in downtown Houston i expected to see great pieces of art. The trip seemed normal like any other trip we've taken. As soon as we arrived there was amazing artwork like id never seen up close and personal. There were amazing sculptures in the outside of the museum that would blow anyones socks off.
The first piece that truly captured my eye was this Greek sculpture. Although missing both hands the level of detail in this sculpture is undescribable, for the artist in his days to achieve this it must've took weeks if not months to complete. they were modeled after Roman statues but they werent made with bronze which can oxidize and completley ruin the artists work. they were made with stones found around the area.

As we carried on through the museum The artwork everywhere just sought to capture my atention. We ended up walking through the painting gallery and my jaw dropped at some of these paintings and sketches. One could tell how precious these pieces of artwork are, not just because how beautiful they are but also its because the artist painted or sculpted what he or she wanted to do. Art is a form of expressing oneself, Abstract art leaves the mind questioning ourselves trying to figure out what the artist was going for when making that piece of art.
