d. Madeline and Howard Adams Jr. Gallery

7. A work of art that shocked you. Why?
a. The Veiled Rebekah
b. By: Giovanni Maria Benzoni
c. 1864
d. Madeline and Howard Adams Jr. Gallery
e. This was not only by favorite work or art, but it also shocked me. I was amazed because the way the artist did the sculpture you can see the eyes of Rebekah through the veil that she wears. Some how the artist made the marble look see-through. I think people should go to the High just to see this sculpture.

8. Briefly compare the folk art gallery, and the contemporary gallery with the rest of the museum.
a. I noticed that in the folk gallery there were a lot more religious pieces than in the other galleries. In the contemporary gallery the art was more spread out and there seemed to be less art than in the other places. They also had note cards some of the paintings. These note cards helped explain the more difficult art in the gallery.

9. What was your favorite gallery and why?
a. My favorite gallery was the Madeline, Howard Adams Jr. Gallery. They had a lot of early American and Italian inspired art. I also liked looking at the American Crystal vases, lamps, and ceramic knick knacks.

10. Describe the part of your High museum experience that was most meaningful to you.
a. The most meaningful of going to the High for me was getting to walk through the Louvre Atlanta exhibit. I loved walking through the High and getting to see all the different art work from the Louvre. When I went to Paris a long time ago the only art I actually got to see was the Mona Lisa; so it was really great to be able to take my time and see all the different sculptures. I also liked that we were given audio. This helped me really understand all the work that actually went in to making the different art work.
Extra Credit:
The statue by Auguste Rodin is The Shade. The Shade was a gift from the French Government in memory of the 106 Georgians that died in the Orly Crash in 1962. Below is a picture of me with the statue, and what is engraved below the statue.
