Seeing & Knowing the Visual Arts
I chose to use a piece of art named “New Tricks”, done by Angela Starosta. It is an architectural art that she uses to make a space for animal rescue, rehabilitation, and adopting animals. I chose to use this one in particular because I liked her architect and her thoughts on how she wants the building to work with humans and animals with rehabilitation, animal rescue, and an adoption center. She used three dimensional pictures, animated video, and actual material on board so you can really get a feel of the textures, mood, feeling of the place. She used really calm and green colors to set the personality of the space; it helps me understand what it would like to actually be in it.
I think her representation for this space is mainly to get a good connection between the animals and humans throughout their rehabilitation or when someone is adopting an animal. It’s a very open space to make the animals comfortable, but that also goes in hand with the people inside so they can be comfortable with the animals. She made sure to make an outside feel throughout the entire space with frequent patches of grass in and outside of the building to encourage play with the animals so they never feel trapped as they could in normal adoption centers.
This can’t be considered abstract art because while making the space she had intentions of how she wanted it to be done, with a certain meaning. Composition on the other hand, was used very well. With her providing videos, pictures, and materials with texture it allows us to see them all together in a representational form. If she would’ve only showed us pictures or a video the viewer wouldn’t have as good of a understanding on how she wanted it to be. There were also forms of three-dimensional objects to give examples of some dimensions that are used in the space.
Angela communicates all of her ideas through words, textures, forms of objects, dimensions of the space, and
