Pilsen Art Walk

Throughout this experience I noticed many pieces of work in which I got some kind of story, an emotion, a feeling, etc. But certain ones grabbed my attention much more. I enjoyed seeing the light displays, the sculptures, videos, and collages. But these three pieces of art got my attention the most.

The first one I felt showed me an image and I was able to pull out my own thoughts was the one of the moon. This canvas painting created a sense of calmness. What I got was the moon is always present and the mixture of colors signifies the times of day and seasons. I saw purples, red, pinks,oranges like when the sun is setting; i also saw oranges, red, browns, and yellows like when its summertime. The way the paint looks like it is running down the page in unique and a great way to entice people to take a closer look. This one just was so interesting and immediaqtley drew your attention to the moon.



Also the next one that stood out to me was the water tower creation. This piece I enjoyed because my boyfriend and I take pictures outside this building every year around Christmas time. I love the architecture of this building and in this picture the color scheme excentuates the architecture. I like how they added a red and yellow into the black and white sketched looked painting. By doing so your eye immediatley is drawn into the building itself. i also like how the picture is created with written words faded into the background. This image uses many techniques to draw the observer in and I feel it was quite successful in doing so.



This next series was one that I also liked. I got my own theory on what this series looked like. The first picture is and outdoor, tree scene that the background looks like the sun is about to rise. It gives you a sense of calmness when you look at it. I like how they only drew attention to the colors of the sun whereas the rest of the picture is black and white. In the second picture of the series I like the way it makes the sun seem to be fully out and shining. This gives you a sense of daylight and day time. Finally the last one seems to be the sun setting. The colors display the night time and a sense of peacefulness. In all works the color schemes are amazing; I am a fan of black and white photos, but with color mixed in to draw attention and set a scene is amazing.
