Our next assignment in Public Speaking was to visit the Sordoni Art Gallery, during the Maslow Collection exhibit, in our school and blog about it. I was pretty pumped to go look at the gallery, seeing as I have never been to an art gallery before, even though it is small. I was pleased with some of the works...others, not so much. The piece that was my favorite [left corner] was a HUGE oil painting by James Biederman called Albanian Tango (1990). It wasn't a painting of any specific thing, but rather just a bunch of greens, oranges, and browns placed beautifully on the canvas (its hard to see the actual colors in the picture). I don't really understand my infatuation with this piece, but I wanted to take it with me. There was one piece that I wasn't fond of by any means. As an artist, I appreciate most works of art, or at least try to get a feel of what that artist is trying to express. This piece, Volterra (1990) by Melissa Meyer, just wasn't aesthetically pleasing at all. It was very dull colored and just....not good. There was also some flow chart that what printed and framed. I didn't really understand the point of that. Overall, though, there were more piece I did like than I didn't. I'm glad I got to walk through it.
