Visual Literacy/ Curator Activity

An art is in everywhere; we can find it from our circumstance such as mirror or bulb or from living subjects such as bird or tree. Every subject has different shapes, sizes, qualities, and colors as each person have different thoughts and views toward the subject. Therefore, people can both create several artworks and have several comments for a subject. Last Tuesday, my classmates and I received some time by professor to create an artwork through the school’s landscape in art class. I was searching a good area for the artwork with my group members, and we found two pictures which face to the glass wall of our artwork by taping in rectangular shape. It was amazing art pieces. When we look at it with some distances, it just looks dirty on the glass wall or some dot which hang on the wall. Also, it seems nothing and boring. However, we went to it closely, we definitely could see two wonderful artworks. One artwork is about a portrait about some queen and the other artwork is the picture in different subject (these two pieces artworks place in the same space of the wall together). There were also light upward. Under the light, our artwork’s appearances were changed by different shadow and texture. Some side of the pictures seems softly and lightly with lighter shadow; and other side of the pictures seems rough and depress with darker shadow. Its combinational appearance on same picture was giving me strong impression and fresh feeling. Additionally, the shape of the pictures is changing by distance. When I stand in front to the wall, I can see a clear figure such as human form; however, its figure looks animal or plants such as fat tree or bear if moving a few steps backward. If step far away from the picture, it just look some large circle on the wall. After this activity, I learned that how the distance and light can give us diversity view amazingly.
