Title: What's on your mind?
Artist: Grace Raymond My first impression of this piece was that the meaning was not very out in the open. i definitely was and sill am confused by the meaning of this painting. I noticed that the color scheme is very dark and monotone and the overall painting is very geometric. I think that the artist intended to bring fear to the viewer because of the spiders and the eyes that can make a viewer uncomfortable and trigger phobias. I think that this painting was created to incite fear in people. When I look at this piece I personally love how everything is placed and the realism of features and I am naturally drawn to disturbing and creepy art so I think that this painting is really interesting. |
Title: Best Friends
Artist: Marco Luna My first impressions of this piece are relatable because I interpret this piece as a person being stuck to a person and trying to leave a toxic relationship. I notice that there is a lack of color as the drawing seems to be done in graphite pencil. I also notice that the space is filled up almost completely. I think that the lines connecting the two girls have grabbed my attention most because it represent a connection between them and also an attempt to separate. I think that this piece is trying to represent an attempt to end a relationship which brings about heavy and sad emotions but also a little bitter sweet. I believe that I have a deep connection to this piece because I have gone through the loss of a relationship with a close friend. |
