Describing the art work:
Darker with the Day was all contemporary work created with
paint on canvas as well as being hung on a decorated wall. The work was almost
set up as if you were looking outside from inside a house; it was evenly spaced
and symmetrical. The work was very dark, gray, simple they all seemed to be on
what was on a square canvas it seemed to have a painterly texture smooth with
some texture to it. The work all seemed fairly similar. The walls that the
paintings were hung on seemed to expand the paintings, and the people viewing
the paintings all seemed to react different ways to the paintings whether it be
getting up close to the paintings or staying good distance away.
Interpreting the work:
The art work seemed very dark and depressed almost like it
was created by someone that is depressed or mentally ill. Almost like it was a
glass house with three different views to it. With the walls expanding the
paintings it seemed like you could see through the walls and like the whole
house was an endless view, the mood of the work seemed dark with all the dark
and simple colors.
Questions:
1) What is your main
motivation when you are creating your work?
2) What do you want/think that people get out of your work?
3) What do you get out of your work and why?
Thanks for the interpretation! I am interested that you and so many of your classmates interpreted the work as dark and depressing. I wonder if the artist intended this.
