Assignment #1

I am able to see art possibly just about any where these days. Growing up I saw art while walking around the city, taking the seven train seeing where Five-Points use to be and while living in different parts of Queens. I now live in College Point and there I saw a 3D sculpture of space shuttle Columbia. The space shuttle sculpture is located on a school ground named PS.193. The purpose of the 3D sculpture is to record and commemorate. The space shuttle Columbia sculpture is to commemorate the people who lost their lives on February 1, 2003. Also helps family and close friends commemorate the lost of their loved ones who were on the space shuttle Columbia. Also the purpose of the 3D sculpture is to have created a meaningful form of art. The 3D space shuttle Columbia honors a time in history where seven astronauts were unfortunately killed. This form of a 3D sculpture honors a disaster that in history is the second worst tragedy in NASA and keeps the seven lives of the astronauts in memory. The seven astronauts who lost their lives on space shuttle Columbia and are remembered on February 1, 2003 are Rick D. Husband, William C. McCool, Michael P. Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David M. Brown, Laurel Clark and Llan Roman. I feel like the purpose of the 3D sculpture was successful. The 3D sculpture was created to be meaningful and allow others to commemorate. It does help keep the history of the event in memory as well as the seven astronauts.
