Metro Art Field Trip Experience
The metro art fieldtrip did not go as planned. Yet it was an amazing experience. We have come to the conclusion that one cannot define art. Art is a variety of things. It has many definitions. On the field trip, we got to take a whole new view in the community we live in. For example, in the imperial station there are drawings that demonstrate and express the ideas of the world such as people using imagination and love throughout their life. Also the bench there demonstrates history of Rosa Parks and the racism. The field trip was still education and we learned new things such as transportation and the different items used to make art. We didn't know before that in many metro stations there are drawings and paintings which show creativity for example using the films in the ceiling. It is true we think of films and movies as we think of Hollywood and palm trees. In stations going to Hollywood they demonstrate those items. Also the different arts we viewed are used to demonstrate other things and make emotions as how we view each art and the way we interpret it. For example, the picture with the road we interpreted it as the road to success and a path we take. The field trip inspired us in art and though it was not go as planned, we saw a different perspective of art and value it more than before because it has a meaning and history behind it. Art is something that cannot be defined. There are no set rules; there is no rulebook to what makes art what doesn’t. In our experience of the field trip, we’ve learned that art can take many forms. Many things can qualify as art. Art can take the form or any shape or size. It can be mural, a photo, an object, it can take any form. It can also have many functions as well. It can symbolize, tell a story, provide many points of views, and provide much room for interpretation as well. Art can also provide history, and so much more. Art cannot be defined.
Photo 1: The art displayed in this photograph is a definition by the ways it shows the creativity and expressing more than one point as imagination and the heart which is love. Art is viewed mostly of the way something looks which gives a first impression and then is developed which is intended to be inspirational. Art sometimes tends to always have a deeper meaning that displayed. This art captures the heart of young children.
Photo 2: This photograph is art by the history behind it and creativity. This bench is very colorful which shows expressions by the colors used and also the history of Rosa Parks and the discrimination that once was made because of the race this shows art by the history and culture. This tends to make individuals think of the cruelty and brings emotions. Art can be defined as something that can symbolize history. Art can tell a story. This bench tells the story of Rosa Parks.
Photo 3: This photo is of a mural done to show the struggles of what African Americans have put up with. Art can be defined as something that is intended to empower the people. This mural is an inspiration to those in our generation. These people have worked so hard to gain the right that we have today. Art tends to do that as well, it tends to open people’s mind set to new things, or old events. It tends to make one contemplate of different many topics or events.
Photo 4: This photo shows a piece that is stretched throughout one side of hall of the metro station. This is art because there is just so much going on in this piece. This piece is art because of the many different scenes it has going on. This art is telling many different stories at once.
Photo 5: Art can be something that takes all these little details and can put them all together for one main concept. This piece is a whole bunch of little scenes out together like one big reel of film. Its main theme is film, Hollywood.
Photo 6: This image is located in a train station which makes an individual think of Hollywood. The art is demonstrated by the creativity as putting this in the ceiling and bringing thoughts to the observer as the reasons of doing it this way and showing the ways people think of as they hear the word Hollywood. This art is a representation of Hollywood in a creative way. Art can creative.
Photo 7: This photo is of a film reel art piece that is on the side of the metro train. Although it may seem simply, and art can be simple, it’s still considered art. This train’s route is to Hollywood. There’s a theme for the art work displayed in the metro. Art sometimes haves themes. Art can be simple. This is art because it represents Hollywood as well.
Photo 8: This photograph shows art by demonstrating ideas that come to mind when an individual thinks of Hollywood since it’s displayed there. It makes it art by how it is made and the creativity put in it and emotions that can bring to an individual as they think of Hollywood. Palm trees are a symbol of Hollywood.
Photo 9: This photo displays art work. This is considered art work because it’s a small part in the huge section of this part of the metro. It’s one tile that represents a famous movie in this Hollywood themed train station. Although a small part, it’s still considered art.
Photo 11: This photograph is art by the attention it gets. Also by showing the way a tree is during a season & the different interpretation of how a tree brings life and how we can view life. The image shows the emotions of the artist. This art can have so many interpretations. A tree can be a symbol for anything.
Photo 12: This is a photo of the many different photos displayed. This is art because it shows many scenic views. The thing that makes this art is the emotions that can be brought and the thoughts such as the creativity. For example the different interpretations like the road that can be good for the future
Photo 13: Art can take many forms. This art is in the form of photography. It literally shows the perspective of one view point. Personally we love this photo the most because it literally looks like you’re looking into a window into a whole new scene. It’s an amazing work of art.
Photo 14: This photograph resembles art with the creativity developed to show different angles and make it interesting as by the patterns. Art can be just patterns and angles. Art can take to form of architecture.
Photo 15: This is a close up photo of the art work displayed at one of the stops. This is an architecture feature. The lights resemble the ovary tubes of women. This art work is a symbol for women empowerment. This piece is about representing women.
