Too Mainstream?

 This first image was taken by a passenger on an airplane.  They must of saw that there was another airplane not so far away which anyone would really find pretty cool, well i know i would, wondering where is it that that plane is headed for. This was either taken at dawn or dusk, with the colors the sky has with the fades orange in the background makes me think so. This image is filled with colors of the sky and how it can be such a peaceful view, how from one minute it can be blue and the next there are mixtures of orange, pink yellow and white as can be seen in this picture. You can also tell that this passenger was sitting right next to the turban engine, which is an object that stands out as well.

This second image is of the airport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands named Schiphol. You have a view of the runway and how the clouds are hovering over the airport as well. Its not much of bright colors, but the mood of this photograph can be felt as calmness. The artist took a shot of this part of the airport probably make the viewer feel like they are the ones waiting to depart. To make them think of what they do meanwhile waiting to board. How there is 

These were taken in different years five years apart, which is kind of the closest thing i could find coming from two different countries. But i would like to think these two artist did come across each others works since they have to either do with airplane or an airport. These are two photographs that can relate to perceiving reality. i feel that the this European art work deserves to be in the mainstream art story. Many people can relate to being in an airport and the experiences they have while being there. As well as the view each person has wherever they are. The same goes with the American art work. Many take planes to visit different parts of the world for many different reasons. to see new life, have new experiences. See the beauty of mother nature. What the earth has to show them. I myself love airplanes and airports which is a reason why i chose these two art works. i can relate to them as well . i have actually been to the Schiphol airport and love how big it is! It brought me back so much memories from the minute i stepped into the airplane to the time i stepped onto the airport. So if by just seeing these photographs i felt many ways i know others may feel the same as well. 

Moor

         Janine Antoni's roping making is different parts of materials that either belonged to her family or friends. Her materials went from pillow cases to extension cords being torn apart to be put in the rope. She says the rope is like an umbilical cord. A umbilical cord connects things together. So the rope she makes some how it is connected to her life, has some sort of meaning to this world. And she lets people know by some how sticking an object out of the rope. She wants the viewer to uncover the story behind the objects they see. Someone with no experience in this artwork may still probably get the image she is trying to show. Every piece is different colors, shades, and material. Some parts of the rope is only pink with feathers, while others have hammocks put together. they might miss the meaning of how her life is connecting all these people she knows just through this rope.

Empire of Light II

1. This painting I got the impression that it represents the quietness of nature, how there is not a single human or animal being shown.

2.The title of this painting is Empire of Light II, to me this empire light is the sky because it stands out more than the actual lamp that doesn't even lighten up the neighborhood as much

3&4.This artist chose to do the painting with oil paint which i see it is what makes it seem smooth , like I just look at the painting and think of smoothness

5.the lamp in this neighborhood is small compared to long the block is and barely lightens it up

6.you can tell the time this painting is taking place it was when the streets were made of stones and those lamps were used often. now a days you rarely see those lamps in the streets.

10&12&13. The darkening of the neighborhood sense to me that people who like quietness live there, or that even if people are having bad days since the tress are all black and some parts of the neighborhood are darkened as well , the lighting of the sky shows us that there are always brighter days since its what mostly stands out with the light blue color and white clouds.
