"Micheal Jackson" By: Leonid Afremov
"Music In Me" By: Alicia Soriano
"See the Music" By: Marianthe Snyder
As a curator I will be hosting this art show in the Atrium in the E-Building because many students go there to study, eat lunch, or just to relax and its a very busy area on campus. Basically the show are for those who loves music, for those who loves art and for everyone who walks through the atrium to have an idea of music art. The theme of this show is to demonstrate the meaning of art in music to those who aren't familiar with art or for those who see art as a boring subject. It's also for other people to experience artwork from different artists and how looking at these music paintings can connect to their own pass or present experiences or their interests in music. I decided to host an art show involving music art because music is known all over the world and many people enjoy different types of music and in my eyes without music there wouldn't be dancers, singers or celebrations. Not only does music make up life but it is an important part in every one's life since we all have our own taste in music that can represent many stories in our lives, our emotions etc. To begin with, I decided to use four different artist's paintings of music which are shown above to explain the art concepts within each painting and how they all connect to each other and the world. The painting on the top is called "Micheal Jackson" by Leonid Afremov and I chosed it since I love Micheal Jackson's music and because it has a combination of multiple colors that can catch people's attention. This piece of work is a 2D painting of Micheal Jackson who was the most famous pop artist in history. His music was known all over the world and became number one hits throughout time. I like how he used bright and dark colors and you can also see the negative and positive space in the painting. He used shape as well which are the circles of different colors around Micheal Jackson. This piece connects to Leonid Afremov other painting located above on the right side corner. They both contain the same theme which is music, the same colors, patterns but the only difference is that the second painting contains a group of musicians, and not a popular pop artist. On the other hand the painting located above on the left side corner called "The Music" by Thomas Eakins is different from the others because it contains a man playing the violin and has more dark colors like black and brown. I decided to choose that painting because when I look at it I can feel the man playing the violin and it gives you the feeling of you actually being there. Additionly i,t has more of positive space than negative space. But it connects to the other ones since it involves a musical instrument, it's a 2D painting and it has the theme of music. Now I want to describe one of the paintings above that caught my attention which is called "Music in Me" located above by Alicia Soriano. I like how she used music notes and a young woman to demonstrate how music can make you feel happy or sad. The colors she used makes the painting stand out more and it can relate to the other two paintings of Leonid Afremov. Lastly, the painting under Alicia Soriano's painting relates to the others as well for a couple of reasons. One reason is because it involves a young child playing an instrument and they all look like they are feeling the moment. The colors in this painting relates more to the the painting called "The Music" because they both have more dark colors than light colors. On the other hand each of these paintings connect to music and how music is fun and interesting to listento since almost everyone in each painting have emotional faces and the colors also demonstrate the mood of each painting. So therefore, these 5 paintings all relate to the theme but are all from different artists with their own opinion of what music is and how they look at it. Out of all these paintings I can say that music wasn't made just for the ears but it was also made for the soul and for people to enjoy it while releasing their personal thoughts.
You picked such a good range of artwork Stephanie- mixing the new and the old. It is great to see the work you did researching and finding images of artwork about music.
