Hello All,

On Thursday (September 8) , I took my class to the Dallas Museum of Art to see the Cartier and Islamic Art exhibition. As a lover of art and jewelry, this caught my attention. In addition, I’m also inspired by the art and patterns of other cultures, so I really wanted to see this exhibition.

I was very impressed with this exhibition. The jewelry was beautiful, the artwork and garments were gorgeous, and I loved how they showed the concepts of each piece. Here are some of the pieces.

One thing I found hilarous was how fast my fashion merchandising students were looking at the pieces, and how my fashion design students were studying each piece. Everything was beautiful. Afterwards, we saw the Keir Collection of Islamic Art.

After viewing the collection, I can say that a lot of dinnerware was inspired by Islamic Art because a lot of these pieces were on our tables!

Afterwards, I toured some of the other artwork, like the American artwork collections. My favorite was the silver.

Then, I toured the African Art collection (I was excited to tour this collection).

The last collection I toured was the China Art.

I really enjoyed my time at the Dallas Museum of Art. The pieces at Cartier and Islamic Art were impeccable, and I enjoyed seeing how Islamic Art is a big influence on a lot of things. I will definitely visit more exhibits there.

Until Next Time…..
