The first is “Balloon Dog” by Jeff Koons.
It represents the goofy and silly part of my identity. I love to goof around and have fun, and I also love balloon animals so it’s a wonderful choice for me. I think the dog was fun, it was so big and bright I started laughing when I seen it. It was the first thing I seen at the entire museum and it fit me. It was fun and silly which is the way I act, and it looked so realistic I wanted a balloon animal at that moment.
“Untitled” by Maurizio Cattelan
This work really captured my curiosity. It was a mini working elevator, and I don’t know how long I stood there just admiring it. It grabs everyone’s attention and makes them wonder what it meant, how it worked, and why it was so small. I know it showed the childlike curiosity that I sometimes have, which is a part of my identity. I couldn’t help but gaze in awe at this creation.
“Swimsuit” by Catalina Sportswear. “Playsuit” by Margit Fellegi. and “Swimsuit” by Rose Marie Reid.
This exhibit had three pieces to it, and I loved all three. This beckoned to the shopaholic in me. I love to shop, and seeing cute clothes in a museum was great. This exhibit showed the serious shopper that I am.
“Toward Disappearance” by Sam Francis
This painting is like me emotionally. I feel like this work conveyed the different emotions that the artist was feeling, and at times I do get emotional myself. The different colors and their placing and how they can be so random, or spaced out may have been the way the artist was feeling. Or trying to get the viewer to feel. I feel like this work was emotional, and connected to my emotions.
“Giant Pool Balls” by Claes Oldenburg
This work was an expression of my playful side. It was a giant game of pool, and looked like a lot of fun. It shows how playful and fun-loving I am. If it wasn’t bolted down to the floor I would have loved to play.
“Dance Headdress”
This was a functional piece that people used in the past when they danced. It looks like a sculpture because it is so big, but it’s a headpiece. I love to dance so this piece was a real connection and personality piece for me.
“Head of Woman in Profile” by Pablo Picasso
This painting was unusual to me in the beginning, but the more I looked at it I saw it as a form of Picasso’s self expression. I know I love to express myself, whether it be in writing, dancing, or decorating.
“No Title” (I forgot to write the name down)
I saw this painting as happiness. I’m smiling all the time, so for me this painting was my equivalent. It was big and bright almost like the sun, or a really big smile. Like my smile, it was bright and happy just like me.
Hi, when I saw your LACMA project in class, I heard you said that you like giant balloon dog in LACMA. I like this giant balloon dog too. It is a first big balloon dog that I never seen before. When I was young, I saw a lot of balloon dog. I know how to do balloon dog by hand.
ReplyDeleteMini elevator is so cute. I regret that I can't come to that building because I didn't have a time go all of it.
