Lee Ufan - Guggenheim Exhibition

These are the types of artworks that I enjoyed the most from Lee Ufan's exhibition, when I first saw them I wanted to jump on top of them because it looked very puffy to me, I wanted to hug them because I like everything that has the cotton material inside, such as the stuffed animals, these artworks also made me feel like if I was in the clouds. It's was very interesting to see how creative Lee Ufan is, he shows how the different forces from the lighest object to the heaviest object can come together in one and become the most wonderful artwork, for example how Ufan kept the stone made it stood there without making it fall down through the cotton on the first picture. Another example like the cube were the steel walls are pressing against the cotton like making it feel as if someone was pushing it towards the center. I had a wonderful experience in the museum and I really enjoyed Lee Ufan's artwork.

My colorwheel

This is my color wheel, I tried my best to make the colors look as accurate as I could. I had the most difficulty with the colors blue, violet and the inner circle colors but I did my best to make it look perfect..hehe =D

PS 1 MoMa - 9/11 Exhibition

My experience on the 9/11 exhibition was awesome because I was able to see the art work that some artists made to pay tribute to the 9/11 tragedy. One of the exhibitions that I liked was Untitled by Matt Mullican which was the one in the basement, I liked it because it made me felt like if I was underground in one of the Twin Towers, I got a little bit scared at first because when I saw his art work the first thing that crossed my mind how people might have felt at that moment when they were trapped under the rubble when the towers fell down. Unfortunately, I couldn't take that many pictures from the exhibition because it was not allowed in the museum, but this was the only picture that I was able to get. There was another art piece that I liked but I couldn't take a picture and it was called Questions by Barbara Kruger, in her artwork there was two quotes with the colors blue, red and white that were replacing the colors of the American flag and the first quote said "Look for the moment when pride becomes contempt." Then the second quote said "Who is free to choose? Who is beyond the law? Who is healed? Who is housed? Who speaks? Who is silenced? Who salute longest? Who prays loudest? Who dies first? Who laughs fast?," I also liked that art work from Barbara because I want to become a Graphic Designer like her because I like turning things like Barbara did with the American flag into words or letters, I want people to figure out what is the message in the art work and what it represents for me. I just don't think about the painting itself but I also think about what message I want to give to the people when they see my art work and that's why I liked Barbara's art piece the most when I saw it on the exhibition.

9/11 Exhibition experience - Leila Velasco

My experience on the 9/11 exhibition was very pleasing because I was able to enjoy most of the artwork. This was my favorite picture because it looks very real, it almost look as if the person just took the picture and then just pasted it on the canvas.  Out of all the many years I went to art exhibitions I had never seen such great artwork like this one, the person who did this work must have been very good with the exact colors, shades and everything to make it as realistic as it looks. It reminded me of this artwork I saw once were the artist painted a ladies' ankle on top of this stair step and at first it looked like the person painted it with a brush but if you look closely on the canvas the artist painted it looked as if that artist used its own fingertips so that's what impress me the most because it looked very detailed and same as the 9/11 picture the more detailed it looks the better the viewer enjoys the picture because is very realistic. I really liked all the artwork but this one was the best one I saw. =)
