Project # 2 Art Gallery Visit #1- Responding to Artworl

A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?
Frank Still, Jill- This made an impression on me because it was a different way of viewing it after learning the different principles in artwork. The piece became more than just a set of lines, but the lines also, created a focal point. I liked it because it really showed that the lines of an artwork has importance.
Tom Wesselmann, Bedroom Painting #40- This piece caught my attention as soon as I rounded the corner. The colors are so bright and compliment each other. The painting itself looked smooth, flawless even.
Nancy Dwyer, Kill Yourself- I liked this one because it was like the message was opposite of what was actually being visualized. When I think kill yourself I think dark uneasy feelings, but this piece had bright colors and a more calming effect especially with the bubbles.

B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
Suzanne Valadon, Mother and Child at Bath- I felt a connection with this piece because it reminds me of the times me and my own children had our bathtime. It was a sense of I understand the feeling and what the mother could be thinking. It was a peaceful time and a time of bonding between parent and child.
William Harnett, Music and Literature- I liked this piece because I am a big fan of music. Music is a part of my life that actually helps calm me and put me into a more tranquil place.
Roy Arden, Walmart Store (Apple Jacks) Burnaby, B.C.- This piece I liked because it really reminds me of my night last night. It was a reminder of spending time with my children.

C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?
Yves Tangoy, Indefinite Divisibility- This piece captured my eye with the different elements but it was somewhat unclear as the meaning or what the artist intended. I would like to know more about what message the artist was actually trying to convey because it is a beautiful piece of work.
Tom Wesselmann, Still Life #20- I liked this piece because of the realness of it. The sink and the light, and the medicine cabinet were all life like. I would like to learn more about this because it seems like it is a glimpse into our past, but yet can be very much related to our present and future.
Kara Walker, African/American- This piece was interesting and set apart from a series of this authours' work. I think it was more interesting as to why this piece wasn't included with her other works, but when reviewing the picture I snapped it became more of an interest because of the rflections captured in it. I thought that was different from all the other images I captured, and would like to know..Why use material that can capture reflections?
