I slowly walked through the gallery space admiring and observing the art work displayed. 

Step 3: The Artwork

 Questions about the artwork:

1. How are the artworks organized?

I noticed the art work is mostly organized by categories in each room. For example, my first visit I noticed it was a room full 
of impressions and etc.

2. How are the artrworks similar?

All of the exhibits that I have chose have a similarity in them because they are materials we can relate to or that we use 
today. 

3. How are the artworks different?

The artworks are different because they each have a different personal meaning behind it, they are different in material, size,
and color etc.

4. How are the artworks framed?

They are boxed off so they can not be touched, some are small enough to go in a boxed glass.

5. How are the artworks identified and labeled?

The artworks are identified and labeled the same. Providing the Artist, Title (if named), and Date. And giving us a small 
summary of the background of the work.

6. What is the proximity of the artwork to each other?

The artwork I chose were each in different rooms. They each holds its own size and you can tell in the pictures some needed 
more space then others. 

Exhibit #1

 

Art Criticism :

Be Receptive: This sculpture gives me a nature feeling because of the fountains. The pots hold together well and looks good 
all around. 

Description: Their are many of pots all around holding together but scattered around while water is falling from the fountain 
faucets. 

Form analysis: The principles used would be Balance, Unity, Variety, Emphasis because of the pots, Movement because of the water running, and proportion because of the size differences. The elements used would be space because of how wide it is, value, texture because of the pots, and line because of the faucets. 

Bracketing: This work reminds me of an outdoor waterfall but just a much different look to it because of the pots which made it look unique.  

Interpretation: I think that the artist was trying to show us that we can create something ourselves that is needed even if we don't have the materials normally used for an original piece.

Exhibit #2

 

Art Criticism :

Be Receptive: The texture and bronze color gives off a rich look to this piece.

Description: I see a metal, bent up piece. 

Form analysis: I did not feel as if their were principles really used. The elements used would be color because of the bronzed
tone to it, and texture because you can almost guess how it feels by looking at the picture. 

Bracketing: This reminds me of mountains 

Interpretation: I think the artist was trying to tell us a story about something that was important to him

Exhibit #3

 

Art Criticism :

Be Receptive: The scarfs look like expensive satin pieces. 

Description: I see colorful scarfs floating as if they were on a women's head.

Form analysis: The principles used would be variety because of the count, emphasis because it is used often and has a
meaning. The elements used would be space because of the space between the scares and in the room, and color because of 
its beautiful color. 

Bracketing: It reminds me of a women's everyday scarf used for many things, such as your head, hair, or neck. 

Interpretation: I think the artist is trying to tell us these were important where they came from. 

*What did you think of visiting the Gallery and purposefully looking at the exhibition from a different perspective - the physical space, the architecture, theme, etc.?

I liked it better in this perspective. It didn't really feel like an assignment and I loved that. The space of the museum gives off 
a peaceful feeling just walking around and admiring all of the artwork was my favorite and really noticing the physical 
space, architecture, and theme behind each and every room. I enjoyed this one!
