Art is full of different colors
On January 15, 2013, I visited an art
gallery that was created by people that had been in a college-wide Photography
Competition. As I began to walk through the art gallery, I saw beautiful
pictures that were colorful and old time black and white. There were three
pictures that caught my attention therefore I decided to use the three eye
catching pictures. My first picture was “Mini Jax”, which caught my attention
because it reminded me of the beautiful background colors in the downtown area.
My second picture was City Life”, it really caught my attention because the
picture represents the area that I grow up in. The last picture was “The
Entrance”, this was a bright pink picture that describes a man with a gun to
the back of a women head.
“The camera is a tool that allows you to
see with your soul”, this quote was written by Rob Gibson.
The first picture that I chose was “Mini
Jax” by John Shippee. Looking at this picture, I knew what this was and also
thought about writing about it. When I
look at the picture it was were colorful. This picture was filling with a brown
and also with a little off white color. The buildings were tall and also level
with many windows all over the building. Is very colorful and also looks like a place
called downtown Jacksonville. I really like this picture because of the colors
and the buildings are made just like the ones Downtown. I like a colorful
picture that I can look at and explain the picture in details. The road is made
the same way downtown and with the same colors. I see that it has a bank. It
looks like the JEA building that is brown. This is a fine piece of art you have
a good view to what’s going on and could tell good details.
This second picture that I chose was “City
life” by Charde’ laRoche. When I first saw this picture I felt like this is
where I live and this is so beautiful. I
chose this picture because we stay in the city every day. The clouds are
beautiful and blue with a little red inside. The buildings are the same color
as the buildings downtown. I like this photo because of the colors they use,
are as downtown. The bridge that I see in this picture is called the Main
Street Bridge. You also see the landing in the picture that has the same color
red and a shade of white color. In this picture you also see the big Wells
Fargo bank logo on the top of the building.
The last picture that I chose was “The
Entrance” by Susan Tassin. When I first saw this picture all I could think was
wow. What is going on? And why would somebody do that to her in her house I
would have been scared. I dislike this picture because of the looks on it that
someone is behind a lady holding a gun. This picture is filling of colors like
a red and brown and a white that’s come from the book that she was reading. It
has me thinking how this person ended up like they did. This picture looks like
that someone could come inside the area without her knowing. She is reading a
book so she could have been into the book and wasn't paying attention to
anything. She may not have known that someone was there and someone was just
playing that she was reading and nothing could happen. I would really like to
know the whole story about this picture and the true details. I would have been
scared if somebody would have done that to me. I would like to know what
happens after that and more details.
In conclusion, I felt like all my pictures
had some type of meaning. The Mini Jax picture is an outline of the Jacksonville
downtown area. I also liked the “City Life” picture because it describes
business offices, bridges and more of the downtown area. The last picture that
caught my attention was “The Entrance”, this particular picture had a criminal
background. This picture was examined to be a mug shot of an undercover man
that came up behind an innocent woman while she was reading a book. Overall the
three beautiful pictures had meaning to them. They all express different
meanings but they shared some of the same concepts towards real world.
