                                               Michaelangelo, David, between 1501-1504
                                              
Michaelangelo's sculpture, "David", is a statue created between 1501-1504.  It is a statue of a man standing in nude.  This picture represent the spirtual hero David, We really can't see what David was looking at but we can say he was holding some type of object in his hand.  In this picture David is standing on a object that looks like a plague and his sculpture was probroly in a museum.  By the lack of clothes i'll say this sculpture was done back in the 1500s because then people didnt really care for clothes so they didnt wear them in some parts of the world.

It can be noticed that the artist but hard work and effort into this sculpture.  It can be infered that the artist(Michaelangelo) put some emotion into this sculpture for an example the fact that David is nude is probroly because Michaelangelo was expressing how he feels.

If I could interview Michaelangelo here are some questions I would ask:
 *What made you sculpture David
 *Why did you sculpture David in nude
 *How did you feel when you where finish with the sculpture
 *How long did it take you to make this sculpture
 *How did you feel when this sculpture became famous

"Race and Gender Criticism"

After reading "Race and Gender Critisim" I feel that it was unfair that some people had less visual art put into art museums.  For example, in the passage, it states that the Museum of Modern Art had seventy-one artist put their art work up in their museum and there was only three white women , one women of color and no men of color that had art in that museum.  So that means the 66 artist that were left was white men.  This is just becoming ridiculous, the gender of women and people of color are not reciving the chance to get their art notice in museums.  This article made me think of alot of things, mostly it made me think about people treating colored people like they were still in slavery.  I say that colored people should get the same treatment as the white people. Colored people want to know how do others feel about their artwork, how do they suppose to do that if Museums are not putting up their artwork up so others can notice them.

A question I would ask the artist is What made you make the art that you made?
   How do you feel about the Museum of Modern Art only putting up one colored women artwork up?

My very first art experience

My very first art experience was when i went to a art museum when I was 5 years old.  I dont really remember some of the artist of the art because I was young but I remember what the art looked like.  My favorite painting i seen was a painting of a man's face and in the background was a house.  The house had my favorite two colors on it, the curtins were green and the door was kind of red that looks like blood.  I told my mother can she take a picture of the art so we can but it in our photo album.  When I came home that day, my mother and I were the only people there.  I want to stay occupied so I asked my mother may I see the picture of the painting and she gave it to me.  For the rest of that day all I did was try to draw that painting.  After a while I gave up, trying to draw that painting was getting kind of frustrating.
