Week 2 Reflections

In my first two weeks of art appreciation I realized that I learned a lot now that I’m looking back on it. I learned that pieces like “The Gates” can also be art. They’re just on a lot larger scale than most pieces of art. The part of chapter one I enjoyed the most was Robert Smithson’s “Spiral Jetty”. Again, this piece is on a lot larger scale than most. I think it’s amazing when artists create art using the earth and things from it. The material from these first two weeks that has been the most meaningful to me would have to be Andy Warhol’s “Race Riot”, which I chose for my second blog post. In that one painting there is a lot of history, feeling, and just a lot going on. There are many different views you can have on it, and a lot of different emotions you can have when looking at the painting.
