Response: Krannert Art Museum Tour

What is funny my favorite piece of art in the museum was actually the wood floors. The way the light hit them and the feel they gave off, it made me just want a ball, honestly. To me the floors told me a story, that each had a piece of their own story and came together to become one. Because the lines separating the boards look like they could have come from a variety of different places. The floor was saying dreams were built and died here. The floor could have been used for types of activities, like dancing, or just for a class. It made me wonder who all have walked on this floor. My imagination was getting the best of me for a moment, and I have wooden floors in the Krannert Museum to thank for that.Andy Warhol entire series of paintings were all black and white. They were raw. Only one of them stood out to me at first glance. The man at the urinal was just different. It was real and it made me laugh because you can make your own comments with the picture. It is also timeless, people will always know what he was doing. I do not know if I needed a good laugh at the moment or not, but the picture was different, I liked it.
I really cannot say that there was a piece of art in the museum that I just did not like, all of them were beautiful in their own ways. Who I am to judge someone work. I do not know their goals behind their pieces. The golden eagle picture I would have to choose just to choose because, I just wish it was a Peregrine Falcon because it is my favorite bird. All the pieces I liked I cannot say I didn’t like any of them, they were all on the same plateau in my eyes.
My view of contemporary art is still the same; it can be anywhere, anything, and can give you any feeling. Art is powerful and it is in the eye of the beholder.
