The sotry of my life

What color is love



Color Me

There wasn't really a title of the exihibiton but I Would title it Life, Love, and Happiness.  The theme of the exhibition is life and love. The type of lighting used was bright lighting. The color of the walls were black.  The materials used was acrylic on wood.  The movement of the viewer through the space was tight.  There is no organization to the artworks.  The gallery was small and everything was placed where it could fit.  The artworks are similar by the artist using the same themes and colors.  They are different because they are each representing different aspects of the themes.  The artworks were just on display they were not framed.  The artworks were defined and labled by having a label with the name of the artwork on it.  The artwork was relatively near eachother but not grouped together.

Art Criticism:

-The Story of My Life: 20"x20"x78"-material: acrylic on wood
        In this piece of art I see many symbols for what they artist is trying to depcit symbols to represent what the person went through in their life.  This piece of art uses a lot of color and shapes.  It also uses rhythm to pull the piece together and  make the idea flow throughout, this would also classify as unity as well.  I think this piece of art is very symbolic and describes things that people go through in life so the viewer an realate.

-What color is love: 17"x36"- materials used: acrylic paint of epoxy
      In this piece of art I see many symbols that represent things that people love.  This piece uses a lot of color to represent all the different things and to make it a happy piece because it is trying to depict love.  Like the other piece this one too uses a lot of color and shapes.  It is made to look like a person because people are what love things and are who can appreciate those things to love.  The artwork uses unity to make all the symbols relate and make sense.

-Color Me:14"x14"x80"- materials used: acrylic paint on epoxy
        In this piece the artist used a lot of color and I think it was to represent different emotions and things that people feel.  It represents different things that make up a person.  The artist also made the sculpture to look like a person because they were trying to depict how we can use color to represent things about a person.  Again the artisit is using a lot of color and unity to make the artwork and symbols flow.

*I thought it was interesting to look at an exhibit from this perspective to see into how the artist was thingking and why they make things or set things up in certain ways.  Normally when you go to an art museum you don't think to look at these aspects of it.
