Assignment #1

In all of our eyes, art is seen everywhere. You see art every day at home, in schools, subways, parks, museums, restaurants, streets, malls etc. Many different types of art around the world can symbolize different types of feelings, moods, stories and lives. Every time I’m outdoors there is always a piece of art work that grabs my attention in many ways. Looking at different designs, shapes and colors paintings is interesting, creative and fun to me. For example the painting above is located in the hallway of my apartment building. This specific painting is a 2D painting with beautiful acrylic colors, weird shapes and an uncommon design. This artist used dark colors and light colors to make the painting realistic and visual. It has a blur to it that makes it hard to see what the painting really is which creates a reason for people to look at it and find its meaning. I think the purpose of this painting is to give tangible forms of feelings and ideas to its audience because the artist seems like an abstract painter that uses these types of unknown designs to express their feelings and thoughts. This painting has a combination of geometric shapes that gives a visual of pieces to a puzzle. One side of the painting has a darker view than the other which can symbolize mixed feelings. But in my perspective this painting can show various emotions or happy and sad memories within the path of life.
