Today I took a field trip to the Houston Museum of fine arts! MFAH has everything from paintings to artifacts, and eclectic bodies of work. During this trip, I wanted to explore pre-Columbian artifacts since I've never seen them in person before. As of late, I've begun working on Aztec inspired artworks that focus on abstract narratives. MFAH was my go-to stop to being my research where I could build inspiration from. I needed to learn about the mesoamerican's ideals on life, their God origins, and designs that were utilized in their artworks. My favorite design I have seen in the pre-Colombia room at the museum was The circled ridge patters in the top of the head within an incense burner from Teotihuacan (image is shown below). Many designs observed during this trip will be utilized in future painting endeavors. Also, the designs will be added to a hieroglyphic section within my sketchbook for reference. If you are ever in Houston or haven't visited the Houston Fine arts museum it is defiantly a place to visit. Every Thursday general admission and parking is free!
