Art Sharing

Early in the quarter students were encouraged to bring forth an artwork from home to share with the class, and explain why that piece of art is meaningful and relevant to them. In this unnamed artwork that i have brought and shared with the class portrays a autumn scenery that appears to be captured on camera during mid day light. This picture shows several trees with golden leaves attatched to its branches surrounding one single straight lined road. This single piece of artwork is magnificently well made, the work that was put into this seems to be on several different levels. First, it would appear to be a regular scenery picture, however, the artist also gave it its holographic property in golden brown contrast, which reveals a realistic shiny property in the artwork. Not only was the picture itself appealing, but the artist has also taken time to frame it in black background with golden outlines which only more elegantly capture its viewers attention. Lastly, the artist finishes this artwork by sealing it with marble frames which intensifies this masterpiece and make it appear to be extremely valuable.

This piece of artwork is relevant and meaningful to me because it brings forth nostalgia of my childhood memories along with the love of nature's beauty and wonders. Staring into this piece of art, i can picture myself walking down that road filled with trees stemed with golden leaves. I can imagine the tranquility of the scene and find peace with myself there, though it may appear to be a solitary road, it does not hurt to want to step into it, to get lost in it, and to walk away from the problems of life every now and then.

Side Note: I found this unnamed artwork several years ago in the 99 cent store and immediately bought it(the total was only slightly over a dollar including tax). I was amazed that this piece of art was so cheap, even though the frames were made of plastic marble it still gives off a very classy feel to it. Definitely believed it was a good buy!
