art gallery #2

Step 1
1.)  The title for the exhibit was Burchfield.
2.) Casting of works along with the space with which he created his art work in.

Step 2
1.) The lighting i thought was dim and kept low  to give that older in time feel to the art works.
2.) White was the olor used on the walls, but just seemed darker because of the lighting.
3.) The architecture was just normal walls, except for one which made it seem like the viewer was looking through a wall of his studio.
4.) The movement was paced out evenly i thought, well spaced out giving viewers time to take in each piece and not feel rushed to view the next.

Step 3
1.) The art work was organized by the different artists.
2.) Art works are similar because of the material with which they were crafted from.
3.) The art works are different because of the artists ideas, thoughts, materials, and ideas conveyed in the pieces.
4.) Some of the works are framed in wood, but three dimensional often rested on some sort of base to be displayed.
5.) Artworks are identified with a little tag next to them with there title, artist, material, and when they were created.
6.) The artworks proximity is probably ten feet apart, giving you a more open space to view at a steady pace and not rushed by others.


Artist: William Keyser
Title: Pretzel II
Media: gum wood
Date:2013
Description- To me this piece reminds me of a center piece for a dinning table and since I like wood work so much it makes me want to create something just like it on my own.
Formal Analysis- This piece has line, shape, and space all in it because of the straight but different layers in the piece itself.
Interpretation- The artist probably wanted to show how nature is wrapped around itself and always continuing no matter what way it is forced in.


Artist: Mitchell Messina
Title: #7 Extension
Media: clay, wood and pigment
Date: 2013
Description: A person is holding a ladder which could possibly be to support others.
Formal Analysis: line is the biggest one in this based on the long ladder which draws the viewer to the person on top.
Bracketing: This piece reminds me most of a ladder because it is the largest part in it.
Interpretation: I feel as if this work is to symbolize the person helping others get to the top and be all they can be.

Artist: Dan Mirer
Title: Knob Top Jars
Media: Blown glass and silver foil
Date: 2011
Description: to me, these pieces of glass mostly resemble a water drop.
Formal Analysis: Shape is a great one with the two spheres and straight part connecting the two.
Bracketing: This piece reminds me of a rain drop from the beging, like one in a pool of water.
Interpretation: I feel the artist was trying to show the union of two seperate pieces together as one.


4.) Overall I liked the experience of looking at things in a different way and how the space could also affect a piece of art as well.
