Content and Iconic Art

This i see as content art because there is so much going on, even though it can be seen as iconic as well because of the saint in the artwork. The mother assisting her children in the forest, the father attempting to help her because night fall is coming soon, there is so much content in this painting that you can take it as you please.

I choose this photo because its iconic to our generation. This artwork has become a symbol for change and its icon is now our president, which just so happens to be the first african american president.

Week 2

This photo of a sidewalk with a big chunk sitting on the side can be seen as two dimensional. Im not sure if I am correct or not but this can probably be seen as the chunk to the right being positive space and the chunk missing as negative space.

This photo is a very large scaled woman who is apparently flexible =). What I liked about this sculpture is that it was proportionate to the rest of the body though it was made in a very large scale. The texture of this is fine and smooth

Lisbon Art

                (Photo #1 Stumbled upon this artwork on my way to my office in Lisbon this morning)

                                                (Photo #2 Farmers life in Salreu, Portugal)

In Photo #1 we see a mural of fisherman wives getting their husbands boats ready to go to sea to fish. The artist used lines and colors to perfection. As you can see the lines in the sun is what tries to tell us the rays of the sun are blazing and the color helps us identify that by making the internal part of the sun red.

In Photo #2 i have no idea who this kid is but i thought this was very different so i had to take a photo of it.
