I picked the Weeping Woman, by Picasso. As we are all approaching graduation and the end of our high school time, it is a stressful time between college, AP exams, senior classes, senior dues, all the activities we do as seniors. On top of our jobs, friendship, families and sports. We can all say we are stressed out!!!! When I look at this painting I sense o sort of stress from it. The unevenness of the shapes and the color choices. This painting to me is like a painting of senioritis. This paining expresses how I feel approaching all the things in my life.
I consider this painting an ideal work of art because it's not only a very well known painting but it's also and abstract painting that every person interprets differently. While I find it stressful others may find it calming. Some people could consider her happy and some could argue she is sad. This is one of those paintings that will be famous forever and it's abstract colors and the use of cubism make it an unique piece of art.
Ashleigh, I Love this painting! Picasso was definitely a talented being. I have seen this picture before but never knew the name of it! Now that I know the name of it, I have a better sense of meaning to the picture. I love the abstract concept of it. I also LOVE the fact that you made your view of this more comical rather than serious! I completely agree with the fact that it reminds me of the senioritis we're all experiencing! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the connection you used with this painting to connect it to our lives (the students in the class). I do like the fact to you said that you find it ideal to you because each person can interpret it their own way, and I also think that is very important. Has this artwork always been in your life? If not how did it become a part of your life? I loved this post and all the connections you made.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is really cool, I'm shocked Ive never seen it before. I like how you used stressful everyday life connections to how you see the painting. I see the painting as stressful, how I sometimes would think I look when I'm overwhelmed. Its easy what people expect of us sometimes. I am absolutely experiencing senioritis!!
