Imagining myself as an assistant curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City to create a digital art exhibit, I would put objects that I like and do not like to represent and show who I am.
One of my favorite objects I like and I would have up is, "Evening Dress" by Jean Dessès, this dress appeals to me because I love the pattern and color and it seems like it would complement me. Next, "1779 Doll" by Lucille Manguin, the reason why I like this doll is because it reminds me of the first doll I ever had. Thirdly, "Netsuke of Seated Puppy with Short Curled Tail" by Norizane, I love this sculpture of a puppy because dogs are my favorite animals, and this dog looked similar to the puppy I once had while I was growing up. Then, "May" by House of Dior (Christian Dior), I like this dress because it is very similar to the dress I wore for my best friend’s sweetsixteen. After that, "Cocktail Shoes" By Frattegiani, I find these shoes interesting and unique since it is in a form and shape of a heart. Last but least of one of my favorite is, "Miniature Broad Collar" by Macedonian, I like this necklace because it is unique and I would like to add it to my jewelry collection.
Now that I’ve stated my likes, these are my dislikes. "Album of Drawings" by Filippo Juvarra, I do not like this drawing because it has no color and really does not say much. Second, "The Oriel Window, South Gallery, Lacock Abbey" by William Henry Fox Talbot, I dislike this painting because i don't like the colors and patterns. Third, "Sadness, from Le Brun Travested [sic], Or Caricatures of the Passions" by Thomas Rowlandson, this painting does not appeal to me because the two people in the painting appear to be sad and that makes me feel sad as well. Fourth, "The First Onoe Kikugoro as an Angry Man" by Katsukawa Shunshô, I do not like this drawing because the man appears to be angry and looks to be ready to fight. Fifth, "Body Mask (Det)" by an Asmat artist, the reason why I don't like this is because it looks creepy and gives me goosebumps when I look at it. The artwork I extremely dislike is, "Saint Zenobius Resuscitating a Dead Child" by Benozzo Gozzoli, I do not like this painting because it is a painting of a dead child, and I believe children should not die because they still have their whole life ahead of them to live, therefore it makes me feel sad.
