As a currator ,  I have chosen the Family memories as my theme. These Images Reminds me of my old memories that I had with my family at a certain time. From all of these images,  Two of my favorite images  were the one with the cat when the boy and the girl were looking at the cat. The
other one that I liked was the Belini tetian where everyone one was sitting around the baby.

First, I chose the boy and girl with the cat because when I was seven years old me and my brother bought cat and we had similar images so this  image reminds me of my own.

Second, My other image that I chose , I had really beautiful memories from this image. When I was born, my mother was holding me like this and everyone in my family was sitting around me.

These images are so similar to mine that it reminds me things that I have forgotten before and now those memories came back to me by looking at these images.

"Chelsea Galleries Reaction" Field Trip # 5


   The Propitious Garden of Plane Image, First Version
2000-2005
Oil on linen
6 panels: 42 x 24 inches (each); 107 x 61 cm
Overall: 42 x 144 inches; 107 x 366 cm


This image that's done by Brice Marden  look pretty simple to me. I feel that the painting didn't really catch
my eyes. There are many paintings that do look simple but they do attract people to buy those paintings and
keep it in their house.This artist only drew the lines around these colors . To me it didn't seem to be so
attractive.  I think it is more hard to make natural paintings that shows some kind of actions of people in the
painting than these type of paintings so In my opinion, I don't think people should buy this painting. 

Yan Pei-Ming Pablo, 2011 Oil on canvas 110 1/4 x 110 1/4 inches (280 x 280 cm)
Yan Pei-Ming Pablo had done a great job in this painting. My own feeling about this painting is that this
painting is a natural painting that shows the person face expression and the movement of this person. In my
opinion, painting like this should be used to keep it at home. I will definitely invest on this painting because I
think to make a natural painting, it takes a lot of time and I appreciate the hard work of the artist.

Brice Marden could have done a little different in this painting. He made it so simple that it didn't look so
beautiful. Although, I know there are people that has different opinion about  all kind of painting that they
see in the gallery.


Yan Pei-Ming Pablo Image is really attractive to me because this image is really clear even though its a black

and white picture. If the black and white images are clear, then it shows how much effort did the artist put in

this image.

The Differences in between two images is that one is natural and the other is too common and easy to make

and I like images that is natural where you can tell what is in the picture and what is it about. The other one

doesn't show any one of them.

Field Trip #2

Beautiful Art by, Darren Bader

     This Art is beautiful. This art reminds me of the time when I just turned 16 and I was just like her sitting

down by myself. I would always sit down on my own if I have to think about something important. I also like

the colors of the background that this artist used for this painting. It is my favorite color.Therefore, I

appreciate this Art work that this person did because I have many memories that reminds me by looking at

this painting


      When I was 16, I used to dress the same way as her. This painting had remind me of my old days.

When I used to live in my country. I never had friends the only friend that I had was a green parade. I have

so many pictures of mine with  the parade sitting down like the girl, that it reminds me of myself back in the

days. This reminds me of so many stories of my life that its hard to pick which stories I should share first.


       The second story I want to share is when I went to somebodies house and I saw exactly the same

painting but the color was bit different.When I saw this painting, I was surprised. I knew there was similar

things in the world but the painting I saw in that house was exactly the same. This was also in my country

and when I came to the united states I saw the same painting. I ask my mom how can this be possible that I

see the same painting in two different place. Then my mom says, lot of things can be the same in the world,

because its the  human who makes the art and creates the stories behind it.


        We usually imagine ourselves to look like those perfect paintings that is usually created by real artist,

but we forget that not everything is real the way it looks like. At first I couldn't believe that some paintings

can be realistic but after seeing the painting in two different places I believe that it can be real and it can have

a real story behind it.


       The reason I picked this painting because out of all painting that I saw, It was the best one, because It

has a story that reminds me of myself being in that painting.




                                                                   Misunderstood  Art


                     This Art is not understandable. I feel that this is not clear enough to understand what is going

on in this picture. The main problem that I see in this picture is the women eye that doesn't show fully.

Whenever you look at some art its very important to know what the art is explaining. What is the meaning of

this art that the artist created. Therefore, I don't understand this art.


                     I know there are many art that might have the meaning but sometimes it needs to show clearly

to make people understand well. At first I thought this women has only one eye because I couldn't see her

other eye. Also the shades in the picture doesn't show anything clearly. These are the things that are showing

confusing in this picture. For example, I have taken the similar picture which was very clear an

understandable it wasn't so confusing.


                       Last year, I had met a guy who was a painter. Whenever he showed his painting to me I

never found that meaningful. For Example, One day, he called me and told me to come to his exhibition. I

asked him what was the meaning of those painting i told him explain what he created but he wasn't able to

tell me because he also didn't know what he made he looked lost all the time. Basically he never knew what

he ever painted for.


                      There are many people that chooses their painting as hobby. The people who loves paintings,

they always want to know about those paintings in details because their very interested in learning. If the

painting confuses someone who loves painting  a lot they cant understand it well. For example, one day me

and friend went to someone house and we saw a painting there that they put up on the wall. We weren't able

to find out what was in that painting it was really confusing to understand.


                       It is extremely important to understand the art work or else you will not appreciate the artist

hard work. First you need to know what you looking at in order to make a comment about those painting

that confuses people.



                      

Bad Art by Henry Taylor



                              This Art reminds me of  my grandfather. I remember when I saw him last time  sitting

down and always angry. The reason I think it is a bad painting because I don't like the expression of this

picture this reminds me of my grandfather angry face.


                               One day, when I came home I saw my grandfather throwing everything around the

house. From that day I got really scared of him and never came in front of him. Art is something that should

make you happy but some art don't make you happy because sometimes it reminds you of someone you

know. Also my grandfather would always wear white shirt and sit like this by himself on the chair, so these

are all those things that reminds me of him.


                              This is an Art that hurts my feeling so therefore, this art tortures me. There was a time

 when my grandfather would never talk to me and never sit next to me because I always told him to be calm

and not to make this type of face expression but he didn't like what I said. I was also never comfortable

staying near him because of his behavior.


                               These are all my examples of why I didn't like this painting. The first time I saw this

painting, it right away reminded me of him. Usually when you first look at some painting it takes time for you

to remember your past thats related to the paintings usually. but this was so similar to my grandfather face

that it remind me right away.

Field Trip # 1.

Individual Identity by, Cindy Sherman

  Individual Identity is an example of being independent. It shows  the person real identity behind their

character that are usually not shown until you have your own identity. People that don't know how the

Personality of the person should be, this shows an great example of being individual.


             This  Art shows how Independent the women is. This is an great painting for people to see what is

the difference between  being individual and dependent. As you see in this picture how the women is dressed

professional, standing on her own. The way  the women facial expression, is showing how much proud she is

to have her own identity.  I have seen many dependent people who feel that they don,t have enough freedom

because they never reached their goal in life so they don't know how is it like, to see yourself as an individual

person. For example, I remember when I came to the United states, I had to depend on someone else to

take me to some places to teach me certain things that I didn't need them to teach me, but I couldn't see

myself as an individual person because I didn't know anything at that time.


        These Paintings always remind us of how to become individual by ourselves. We see, we read or hear

stories of many individual people. For example, I know this famous actress  who had been watching lot of

 movies and learned many things, she always used to take money from her mother for every little things even

after she was an adult. She always believed that she can be individual like someone who she wanted to be

like and it took her long time to become like them but didn't know the ways. The only ways she tried, is the

movies and pictures that she has been inspired from to become an individual person.


          We all have at least one day where we felt individual even though we know we weren't at that certain

day. For example, one day when my parents went to India they had gave me the right to be individual. my

parents gave me the key for the main locker where they kept all their important papers. That was the time I

felt that I am individual. It is usually the people who creates their own identity by knowing what they like to

do in life.


          We all learn by experiencing certain things from many places. Before I went to the museum, I didn't

know a lot of things even though I searched online about how the paintings are in there. Usually individual

paintings shows a lot of meaning to people where they get inspired from.

Digital collage





I remember the time when i was in times square  with my dog and waiting for car to come and pick me up.

Me and my couple other friends had planned my dogs birthday party in times square and we had a great

time there.
