B.)I made a connection with this picture due to the normalcy of the cow but the surreal effect of the background.
C.)I would like to know more about this picture to find out how the artist intended for this painting to affect people
"Theaster Gates" was done well because the viewer can appreciate the firefighter's risk his life and the art of the tool he uses. I agree with your assessment of Jesus Soto's piece. You cannot tell that it is a 3-D until you get closer to it. It appears from afar to be large letters draw on a piece of paper. Finally, I connected Millie Chen's wallpaper also because I also blogged about it. I agree that the wallpaper told multiple stories that were tragic.
ReplyDeleteThe first piece of artwork was one that caught my attention as well. I really like your point of view on it, and I can totally relate. I can see how it looks chaotic, which is a word that describes my life perfectly when school is in session!
