Project #2 Art Gallery Visit #1

A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?
The artworks that made an impression on me were the “Carnival of Harlequin” created by Joan Miro and the “HANDS UP” a mural created by Matter at Hand participants. I found these art pieces the most interesting because of the color, designs, and patterns. I felt both of these pieces of art looked fun and it was entertaining to look at. The first piece Carnival of Harlequin had pieces all over the place but the artist made everything come together into a beautiful piece.

B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
The artworks that I had a connection with were the “Flowers in a Vase” created by Henri Rousseau and the “Convergence” created by Jackson Pollock. I felt like I had a connection to these art pieces because in the first art piece it’s a vase of flowers and it reminds me of when I was younger and I would doodle a lot for some reason I always would draw a vase of flowers. Second art piece I feel I have a connection with is because it shows so much color all over the place it just reminds me of my life at times all over the place, different moods, and overwhelming.

C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?
The first artwork that I wanted to know more about was the painting called “When the Raven Was White” created by Grace Hartigan. I just kept wondering what the overall meaning of the painting was. It’s somewhat black and grey with some touches of color but to me it looks interesting it looks like pieces put together in a collage. Second piece of work that I found interesting but wanted to learn more about was the “Reverie” created by Aristide Maillol. It is a picture of a sculpture but I just kept wondering like what does this sculpture represent it looks so peaceful but I wish it had more of a story to it.
