Project #2 Visit to Abright- Knox Art Museum

1. The images that made the most impact on me are Hotel Lobby and Expanded Production. These two are very different images and settings but both had me stop to think about them. The Hotel Lobby is from 1950 and this made me look close at the faces then I noticed the caption, which is exactly what I was thinking. I could tell by the images people were not happy but I could not put a place with the faces. I really liked how there is so much emotion in the image after I read the caption I looked again. This was a great capture of the atmosphere.  I did the same thing with the Expanded Horizon image tried to understand the image without the caption from the artist. This to me looked like a place to show art work, like a creativity room. By the caption this is a metaphoric piece of work seeing that it says production room but no one is shown in the image. I liked the colors on the ceiling which I believe the sky is the limit because all colors are shown at the ceiling.

2. Two works of art that I felt a connection with were Baby Girl and The Hispanic Project. I felt a connection with the Baby Girl wood media because I am a mother of a baby girl and they are a huge responsibility and this indicates they are a larger than your own life. The Hispanic Project made me have a connection with this because it shows that everyone wants to fit in. When I was younger I felt like I needed to fit in with all the other girls so I changed who I was by doing just that, changing my hair,clothes and the way I carried myself. But once I got older I found out that you need to be comfortable with who you are and you dont need to change at all for anyone. 

3. The two works of art that I want to know more about are Kill Yourself and Seaman's Belt, because both of these are such large topics in the history of America. Especially the Kill Yourself, there is so much influence in the world and media that we see. What does this image represent? The Seaman's Belt I want to know more about the  racial inequality, does this image represent the quality of life he had?
