Assignment #3

Although I completely forgot to write down the name of the piece, the three frames on the wall directly across from the animalistic photos really stuck in my mind. They consisted of 3 over saturated colors in the shape of a square. The photo was impossible   to make out but the way the image worked was interesting. The way the color seemed to fade back into space and the forced perspective using color shades only caught my attention and for some reason made me associate times in my life with the specific color. For example the blue made me think of my time over by the ocean and the yellow made me remember the time I saw the sun through a telescope (we had a special filter over the top so we didn’t go blind). I think that was the point of the whole project. I believe that the artist was trying to make the individual feel like the art was supposed to make them feel as if they were being brought back into their past and suck them into a memory of good times or bad times. The whole thing was really based on each individual’s interpretation of the color. All in all I thought the photo really stuck out and jumped off the wall into my mind. It really sucked me in which I believe is the main goal and success of any good art. Because the piece accomplished this I think that every aesthetic value that I look for was present (such as color, shape and depth). The piece was great to look at and really made me think which is also what I feel was the intent of the photographer and they were very successful in doing so. It’s an amazing demonstration of great artwork and I would enjoy seeing it every day.
