Arts Extravaganza was an incredible event. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. It was an amazing mix of every single media offered at the school all in the same building. You could buy art get your picture taken, dance, or create your own personal one of a kind shirt for $15, which […]

The Film festival showed several different short independent films. The first one was a behind the scenes of Willie Wanka and the Chocolate Factory, it was the oompa loompas. The one that stood out the most though was one where a guy paid another guy to shoot him so that he would have a scar. […]

Raised in Captivity was a play based around a man and everyone around him was very mentally… not all there. Sebastian the main character, and his sister, Bernadette, and brother in law, Kip, are the main characters. There is also a man in jail that Sebastian has fallen for but never met. They are constantly […]

Tony Parillo’s sculpture Theatrics is a man in a pure white jester outfit with a black mask with a long nose and a white dunce hat. It is interesting considering jesters normally wear a lot of colors. The white contradicts the black mask with a long nose that to me represents lies and hiding behind […]

Bunny Boy by David Folk makes me very uncomfortable. The man naked bending over looking at me makes me feel as though I just walked in on something I really wasn’t supposed to see. Him in his bunny mask surrounded by pinwheels, and it makes me think of an awkward Easter. I feel as though […]

Complementary by Michael Alfano shows two woman figures intertwined and fitting together perfectly. I have always felt as though peoples body’s as well as their personalities should fit together like a couple of puzzle pieces. In this case it is two woman, but love comes in all forms. The most compatible relationships that I have […]

The Neil Armstrong sculpture by Chas Fagan is in his old school Purdue along with moon shoe prints, symbolic of his accomplishments. It shows him in his old uniform at the age he was while attending the school. His right hand is on a stack of books and looks as though he is ready to […]

Lena Cronqvist’s self portrait with hand puppets and cloud is a very strange painting. There is little color, though the colors that there are in the painting are vibrant. The detail on the face and expression are phenomenal. I don’t think that the painting is as good as it can be though. The juxtaposition of […]

1. I believe that place defines us. Depending on where we are we act differently. Such as if we are in a gallery, or at a movie theater, we are more quiet. If we are at a football game, or some other sports event, we get very loud. 2. Richard Serra, was inspired by old boats […]

Titians The Venus of Urbino is light in the front with a dark background. There is a woman and a child standing in a back ground that draw you in. You wonder what they are doing, the woman looks ashamed and the girl looks as though she is vomiting. Yet the woman in the front […]

I am very happy with the end result. There was a lot of confusion on my Part III due to me making the leaves be maple leaves. Everyone saw the maple leaves and thought that it has something to do with Canada. When in fact it had nothing to do with Canada, it was just […]

Julian Beever’s sidewalk art is incredible. Mainly that it is all done on a 2D surface that you can walk around. Only at one angle can you see the image as 3D though. His shading is very precise, and so are the measurements of every angle and every line, so that it is exactly in […]

Silicon fruit by Leslie Rankin, is a fruit still life. There is repletion of the fruits throughout the piece, as well as a smooth visual texture, simultaneously with the texture of the surface that it is painted on. There is unity in that they are all fruits. And there is little containment considering the veins […]

Mini Lop by Jennifer Hoover is a pencil drawing that looks like a picture. The strokes of the pencil show the texture of the rabbits fur. The picture is very contained and the composition is not very good, but the detail is incredible. The lighting is very low value contrast, there are mostly just mid […]
