Based on these three art works, i feel they all tie into each other. The flow of the exhibits relate to each other. "Blossom". A bodhi tree growing up and through a piano, is beautiful. In my opinion it symbolizes how nature and music are one. It reminds me of something play like and whimsical.Another work of art that flows wonderfully is "concrete" the shining light on the martin luther king head gives of the shadow of Obama. I like everything this signifies. as in the past light comes the present and what Dr. King was dreaming of is shining through. In the exhibit “Timothy Greenfield Sanders: The Latino List”, there were a bunch of photographs of successful and well known Latinos and Latinas.The way the photographs are placed by the artist lets you know that, the artist wanted to place empashasis solely on the sucesssful persons.

Man's Best Friend in Art
I have been to the Metropolitian Museum of art many times. So when I was asked to be a curator for a gallery, I could only think of something that majority of people love. Man's Best friend, it is one of the most unselfsish friend a human can have. The Exhibit shows the many ways the animal can be depicted trough art form. The dog is such a loved animal throughout the whole world.The exhibit will showcase paintings, sculptures, jewelry, photography, even a dog shaped utensil.I hope you enjoy Man's best friend in Art.

"My dog the truftieft of his kind"
Chelsea Galleries
Assuming the role of a collector I visited the Chelsea Galleries in search of art work in which I would like to invest my monies in, I visited the Marlborough Gallery
in which the Artist on Display was Rashaad Newsome. His piece displayed was very distasteful to me, it does not represent the hip -hop culture. It simply shows the lifestyle that many rappers portray to the viewing population. I as a collector would not invest my funds into displaying a piece, because it doesnt represent art. Its simply a collage of what people think the rap and hip-hop world is about.
I also visited Yossi Milo Gallery. The artist artwork captured my heart. The art was Untitled # 168 by Simen Johan. It is a rhino sitting in the middle of what looks like a desert. The piece look very vivid to me and the piece looks very clear. The rhino was still and the colors blended in as if it were all one piece. The other artwork I will get is Untitled # 155. It is a huge bird that is in a forest, standing on a tree branch with a frog in its mouth.Although I did not really care for the bird, I really found more interesting the background of the trees and how large they were. They remind me of my mothers habitation back home.
