Gabriella Antoniello Assignment #1

The exhibition at the Haas Gallery called Adopting Spaces was very well put together. All of the art work was great. In the artwork, the artist displays unique people, and places. The photos look like there telling a adventurous story. Or the artist are telling stories about a time that they visited the unique places and people they encountered. This is how one photograph connects to another by grabbing your attention to look at the other artworks. The photos are vibrant and use a large color pallet. Tt caught my attention to look at the color photos first as apposed to the black and white ones. This is how it holds the gallery together by catching the attention with colors and then also using the simplicity of black and white pictures.

This photograph by Ryan Adrick Santa Croce Florence, Italy bring my attention by the phenomenal amount of detail put into this. The church is captured in a awesome clever light balance. The bright blue sky makes me first look at the painting but then when you look closer, the blue sky makes the church stand out even more. Triangular shapes are used through the church with a repeating pattern of rectangular shapes as well. This landscape is presented in a whimsical, mystical way. The clouds in the sky and the lighting make me think that way and the structure of the church as well. I love the color of the church with the detail it makes it look authentic and beautiful to me. This is one of my favorite pictures by Ryan Adrick.

This beautiful church has so much meaning behind it. It is a place to gather for religious purposes. Where we discuss out religion and our beliefs, to come together as one and share stories about our family and friends. This is a place where the artist felt most meaningful to her and brought her ideas and thoughts to paper and produced a phenomenal picture fulled with memories, feelings and special times. This church makes me feel good looking at it because it makes me think of the time when i travled to Italy. I visited numour amounts churches and temples. A place where god is worshiped is a place i also feel is something very special to me. This is why my attention was brought to this photo of a church in Italy.
