I decided that this piece of art was the best to chose from. I found this piece of art was unique because of it's texture. It may be a painting like the first piece of art that I saw, but this one is different, The first one is a mural on a wall while the third picture is a sculpture that someone took a picture of. This second picture is in a league of it's own. It's so unique in it's own way. Let me explain why I say that this painting is unique.
Take a look at the three pictures. What do you think the difference is? (Take two minutes to look at the pictures before u continue reading.)
If you think that the pieces of art has a more abstract taste to it than the other one than you understand my taste and what I think. If you do not understand what I am talking about........then hear me out for a sec. Take a look at the 3 pictures again. Now, what do they all have in common? Personally, What I noticed is that they all have humans in each picture. In the first and last picture, it is easy to tell that there are humans in each picture. However, if you take a closer look in the second picture, you will see humans, but not right away. In the picture towards the furthest left and right you can see trees and you know that they are trees. However, in the middle of the picture there are some kind of white and black splooges. I at first wondered what they could possibly be then I looked closer and observed the picture more carefully and then I noticed that those black and white splooges are a man and woman walking along the alleyway. It's harder to tell that there are people in the second picture, so therefore it means that the context in the picture is harder to presume. That is what I think is different between these pictures is. The fact that the picture looks different.
Reflection: Everyone can define their own way of understanding art and there is no correct way to judge it. Art is unique in its own way because what someone may think is trash, someone else may think it is a beautiful piece of art. Just like that quote beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone sees things differently and look at things in a different perspective. “Artists, just like everybody else, do not see the world in any singularly privileged or objectively truthful way…” (Dissanayake p. 5) I enjoy art because of the history and culture behind it all. Everyone has a way of looking at things through a different perspective and personal experience behind it. I learned that people’s view and understanding of art also changed from time to time. I believe one of the main reasons for the expanding of art was that people’s needs and wants were changing all the time
Ellen mentioned in her article that, “art is a normal and necessary behavior of human beings that like talking, experience, playing, working, socializing, learning, loving and nurturing should be encouraged and developed in everyone” (Dissanayake p. 10). I added this picture to this assignment because I thought it showed that it demonstrated talking, experience,playing, socializing and loving all in the same picture. The picture shows a bright beautiful setting that it eye catching. I believe that anything anyone draws is art because it is true talent that I do not have. Art has a way to show many different messages and display many meanings through just a painting. There are many different meanings that can be portrayed through art work, which makes it so unique!
