51st Annual Student Art Show

As I was walking into the art show I first noticed the H-51 which seems as if it is a close up to a type of a flower. The medium that was used for this type of art was film. The subject of this photo is trying to capture life as it happens and to catch the beautiful colors that came from this life. This appealed to me because this photo is sort of a optical illusion, Its a picture of the inside of a flower and the center of it forms another flower on the inside. The next piece of art that I took a look at was DL-10 which seemed as if it were a type of hanna but on a large piece of canvas. The medium that was used for this artwork was a lead pencil. When I first looked at this art work it looked as if it were a titan holding a castle on his back, but as I looked closer I saw that it was actually a hermit crab with a castle on the back of it. It appealed to me because I feel as if everything was on my back all at once.

Suprematism

Suprematism was founded by the Russian artist
Kazimir Malevich. It was said that this form of art was one of the earliest creation of abstract art. The name came from his belief that Suprematism art would be superior to all the art in the past. Malevich's art had also influenced another form of art which was named Unism. It seemed as if the communist power did not like the kind of art that Malevich was producing and attacked the movement. This form of art work is a small number of geometric shapes in solid colours on a white background.

Pillars Of Creation

This is a photograph that was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on April 1, 1995. Nasa named it Pillars Of Creation because of its pillar like structures and it was the clearest image of the universe at that time. The colors really pop out at me on this one, the white mixed with the brown to make the clouds of interstellar dust, the dark background which makes the interstellar dust stand out, and the purple stars are just a perfect touch to this photograph. This is only a half-length shot, it actually forms an eagle when able to see the full picture. The light coming from the pillars gives them an aura feel. This is actually a star-forming patch of space which is 6,500 light-years from earth. The pillars themselves are 5 light-years long, which are shown in this picture. This was a spontaneous photograph, because nothing in the galaxy could be planned. When I first saw this photo it reminded me of a time that I Astral Traveled.

Faith Ringgold

The painting God Bless America was created by the artist Faith Ringgold. She grew up in Harlem during the Great Depression. She didn't feel as if her and her family was affected by it because of her loving family. Ringgold's art work was effected by the people, poetry, and music that she experienced while she was younger, also the racism, sexism, and segregation that she dealt with in her everyday life. This painting was created during the civil rights movement in 1964.It is a descriptive painting about the US government at those times. The symbols that she uses in this painting is a person that is stuck in a prison by living in America, the stripes symbolise the bars which they live behind.
