Week 5 Visit To A-Knox Museum

#1 is "ZimZum" by R. Harrington, 2010, charcoal on canvas
#2 is "Saw and Sawed" by N. Jenny, 1969 acrylic on canvas
#3 is "George Washington and 3 Indians", by John Wesley, 1963
#4 is  "Disappointing Sunset" by R. Huntington, 2009
#5 is " Yo Yos" by W. Thielbaud, 1963, oil on canvas
#6 is "The Old mill" Van Gogh, 1888, oil on canvas
#7 is "La Musique" Mattisse, 1939, oil on canvas
#8 is "Study of a Nude dancer" Degas, 1878, bronze scupture
#9 is " The Walking flower" Leger, 1951, ceramic.

Question 1:  Most impact or impression were from #2, 6, 7, the Van Gogh, Mattisse, Jenny.   Van Gogh and mattisse were classics that are great to look at for a long time, and I also like the Jenny saws. 

Question 2:  A connection with #5, #4, #1, they all look so easy to draw and paint, I could probably do it.   They do not look really professional, like the Van Gogh and Mattisse.

Question 3:  I'd would like tolearn more about the George washington and 3 Indians...what was this supposed to mean?   A political statement?   And the 2 scuptures were kinda interesting...one was serious, one was playful.
