Assignment#1

We can see art all over the place. There are no place where we can't find art, even nowadays human body is also becomes a source of art. If you look around, we will find that most visible arts we can see easily are created for commercial purposes. Public transportation like train, bus, home, school, college, street, park and so on are the places where we can find any type of art. No matter where we can see art work, every arts carries meaning. Sometimes one art can show different meanings in same time. I found a huge collection of art in our college. Every hallway of LaGuardia community college looks like art gallery. This picture I took from one of the Hallway of C building.  First of all, this is a 2D painting, because it viewed from one plane and the artist used water color to creat it. May be the artist make the art to create place for human purpose. May be to construct a meaningful image and form. To me the art represents three different points of view in a same situation and environment. First monkey looks like frustrate or confused, second one is carrying high anger and third one looks relaxed and happy. May be the artist wanted to represent how human can react differently in a same situation. Or May be the artist wanted to present three different way to show anger. I think this a meaningful and successful art because this creation can make an image in anyone's mind.

  1. I think the art is based on the Three Wise Monkeys, and the saying "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil." The creatures in the picture (monkeys, presumably) resemble covering their ears, eyes and mouth. To me, this saying resembles ignorance or innocence. Speaking no evil could mean saying no evil things, seeing no evil could mean blindness, and hearing no evil could mean not listening to evil things said by other people. However, I do not know the actual meaning of this saying, but that could be it.
