Bryan Hiott's Looking Forward, Looking Back
FA 125: Arts Evaluation
Art
Introduction
Bryan Hiott, an art student at Bob Jones University, displayed his piece, Globe (Triptych), in Bob Jones University’s art exhibit, Looking Forward, Looking Back. The Globe is a triptych, which is an artwork that consists of three panels. Each panel displays a picture of an ancient globe resting on a kitchen chair. Hiott’s Globe exhibits four main elements of art: unity, variety, balance, and emphasis.
Unity
Hiott’s piece displayed unity, which can be thought of as elements within an art piece that brings together the artwork, to commutate the exhibit’s message of Looking Forward, Looking Back. Hiott accomplished this feat by utilizing the same color scheme, ageing techniques, and subject matters. Hiott chose globes to represent looking forward to an exciting future of endless possibilities, faraway places, and dreams of adventure. All three of the photographs are slightly fuzzy, are black and white, and feature an old globe placed upon rustic farmhouse chairs. These features combined with the black wooden panels and the subtle blackening of the photographs’ edges helped to give the artwork an “old-fashioned,” looking back feel.

Two good examples of variety in Hiott’s artwork include the locations on the globes and a strange pop of color in the third photo. Globes are the centerpiece of Hiott’s triptych. However, on each globe a different continent is featured; South America on the first, North America on the second, and Africa and Europe on the third. The color scheme of the triptych is mainly a blend of grays and blacks. But, upon examining the third photo, a halo of aqua subtly surrounds the Euro-African
