Art Exhibit

My overall impression of the exhibition was that is was nice, but I was expecting a bit more from it.  I originally envisioned it to be bigger and have more examples of art in it.  The artwork that I chose was All that I need...is the air that I breathe.  It's an oil on canvas by Jennifer Groves (2006).  Her artwork showed an umbrella and shoes.  I chose this piece of art because it looked fun to me.  It made me think of a rainy day and just kicking off my shoes to relax.  I felt that this piece of art was one I could relate to the most.  It made me feel comfortable and at ease.  Overall, the trip to Green Hall was a nice trip and very relaxing.  It was nice to have a chance to go to another building and see things I normally wouldn't see and/or think about.

    I'd never been in Green Hall before last night. I enjoyed our minifield trip. Just doing something different after a long day was nice. I liked the artwork you chose. It was a fun, sort of relaxing painting. It did seem as if someone had just thrown their shoes off and left them.

    I also enjoyed the trip to Green Hall. I'd never been in that building before Thursday night. I was surprised that the artists were faculty members and not students. I would like to meet Jennifer Groves to put a face with a name/artwork. I chose another piece of Ms. Grove's work for my reflection.
    I can really relate to that particular painting this weekend. It has been a dreary weekend. I've definitely wanted to just relax - I've been sleepy and I've worked at a slow pace. I like the way she used the bright colors in her painting....I remember the green shoes.
