Drawings And Prints

The theme of my exhibit is mostly scenery from american paintings and abstract art.Scenery always interested me, the "hillside pastures" and the "Franconia notch" share similarities because you see mountains in the background.I think the purpose they both share is to give you a look at the country side they both have that relaxing vibe.Both of these pictures can make you imagine that you were there. Also "Silent Dawn" can evoke emotion because you can imagine yourself in a snowball fight with your friends.

This work of art takes place in the waiting lobby of the Manhattan side of the Staten Island Ferry terminal. The artist could communicate with a viewer that maybe never been on the ferry. It doesn't really interact with a surrounding because it's a portrait. I find this beneficial because it can be helpful to a tourist. my perception of this piece will not change because it would look the same anywhere there's no changing a portrait.

Both of these painting were made by Adrian Ghenie ,the first painting is entitled "Persian Miniature" and the second is entitled " The death of Charles Darwin" the medium on both is oil on canvas. What i like about these paintings is the setting. I think these artworks are a good investment it would look good in a household, it would brighten a room and attract a lot of viewers. I would want to display these paintings because all good artwork deserves a chance to shine and to viewed by the world.

These statues were made by Zhang Xiaogang, the first statue is called "Boy No. 1" and the second is "young girl No. 3". Im not a fan of statues at all because it leaves nothing to the eye, it does not make you think about what it is there's no background nor any colors.  I don't think it would be a good investment because it's so bland and it doesn't draw you in. I would definitely leave this in my basement i wouldn't want to scare my guests.

Good & Bad Art

                                                   Good Art 

         This is Starry Night by the well known artist Vincent Van Gogh. This to me is good art because it has great scenery.Good art has to have good scenery almost you can imagine yourself in the picture.


                           Bad Art 

this is bad art to me because it's totally random,it doesnt tell you a story,and it's just gross.
