Chinese Group Project

On Saturday, September 25th, my group went to the Freer and Sackler art gallery. We were late for the tour at 12 o’clock, so we were able to catch the end of the tour. But we still walked around and look at the art. The gallery was full of different rooms that were full of different types of art work and artifacts. The one thing I noticed about the art is that they have similar characteristics. All the pots have same shape and handle on them. All the pots have detailed designs on them.
I also noticed that all Chinese paintings have similar style. All the paintings seem to be made up with a lot of lines and no shading. There was also a sculpture of a horse that had a story behind it. There were two countries at war and one of the countries sent a solider to a country on the other side of their enemy country. In the process of traveling to this country he was caught and put in jail for 18 years. When he was released from jail, instead of returning home he kept on with his mission. He finally reached the other country and asked them if they wanted to partner with them in the war. But they declined his offer so he returned home with only the story of their horses.
I really didn’t like the Freer Gallery. It was boring to me. The only paintings that stuck out to me were the three painting of women sitting with instruments. But the overall gallery was nice and different. I liked this group project and all my group member s participated.
