Bird Flight Patterns

Humans across time have looked to the sky as an infinite medium. After observing birds and making strides in science, airborne travel was no longer exclusive to creatures with wings. Even with our airplanes and helicopters, the art of natural flight still captures the attention and fascination of man. Flight patterns can tell a person about the species of bird, flapping patterns, and show how different birds manipulate the air around them to fly. Click the link below to learn more about bird flight patterns through the Museum of Science and come see Vanessa Renwick’s film layover in the Treehaven Gallery showcasing the beauty of birds and flight.

Color Theory

The color wheel is one of the foundations of any visual art class. Color can tell us a lot about mood, intention, vision, and theme. It has been proven time and time again that colors have the ability to affect our own moods and psychology. Down below, Eric Kim talks about the effects of the opponent process color theory in photography and how to best implement it for the most striking shots. Learn more about the theory below and see it in action at the Schneider Museum of Art’s exhibition The Presence of Nature with Naeemeh Naeemaei’s photography.

Cecily Brown

Born in London in 1969, Cecily Brown is making it big in the grotesque, sexual art genre. As a male dominated art form, Brown’s presence is an artful reclamation of the over sexualization facing women in the art community. With works produced as recently as 2020, Brown continues to challenge the gaze of male abstract expressionists and paint bodies in a way that is both flashy and unsettling. Learn more about Cecily Brown and her work in the link below and come see her painting Armorial Memento in the Entry Gallery of the Schneider Museum of Art.

The Schneider Museum of Art is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together – who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/) are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage you to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.
