Special Place
The Special Place The family room is an addition built to the back of our house. It is used for many purposes including doing homework, eating meals, and hosting parties. There are many pictures hanging on the wall, but the one that stands out is a 3-D decoupage. The 3-D decoupage is special to me since it contains the Special Place. The center of the 3-D decoupage is the Special Place. The Special Place has many grooved stones as well as fresh green grass growing from the cracks. In front of the Special Place there are three books. Each book is on top of the other. They are jumping out at you. The books have crinkly old paper that I can hear flapping in the wind.
A white little bird with a red beak is perched on top of the Special Place. When I listen closely, I can hear the bird chirping and tweeting. It sounds like a cry of a newborn baby. I am also able to hear the wind blowing and rumbling in the air. The wind sounds like the blowing of a whistle. In the upper left corner there are many clouds that are as gray as the exhaust smoke from a car. One cloud looks like a person, another like the Special Place, and a third like a rabbit eating a carrot. On the center cloud, which is shaped like a book, there is shiny gold raised letters singing a prayer. In the far distance, you can see houses and buildings that people are living in. They look very brownish, as they are quite old. The center left of the picture includes many mountains that are extremely colorful. Some are lavender and others yellow. In the bottom right there is one small hill right in front of the Special Place.
It is a fantastic addition to our family room adding a special touch especially since it was handmade. Its multiple colors as well as 3-D appearance helps make the room come alive. When I gaze at the picture, I feel as if I am one of the men sitting surrounded by these men of deep devotion.

    The color palette of the painting is diverse, while red and warm earth tones dominate the painting. The light source seems to be in front of the left section of the picture while dispersing towards the right. The use of light gives the illusions of volume. The gradation of the sky is very exaggerated. The top is a dark blue and as it reaches the middle the sky is very light. The painting has a smooth finish and is very detailed. The flowers on the bottom are very intricate as well as the patterns of the people’s garments. Each face has a distinguished and unique appearance; no two faces are…

    The piece was pretty big, and was made up of multiple pieces. This piece takes place along a staircase with little circle tables underneath it for people to eat or talk under. As I was looking at the artwork, I noticed it was split up into six separate pieces. The artwork contains many different colors from reds, blues and greens to oranges, yellows, whites, and blacks. The Jill Gussow used a wide variety of warm and cool colors. I enjoyed that most about this piece. The way they make the random colors come together is very cool. While observing the art, I noticed multiple different types of flowers, a few birds, and a man in the far-right corner. Jill Gussow cut each tile and then at the end they put them all together. Once again Ms.Gussows cutting ability is simply amazing. Her mass amount of detail is unbelievable. The reason I chose to observe “Cullecta Cultura” is it was on the syllabus we had to follow. It was number three on our list of mosaic pieces to look at throughout Rochester. Although the piece used multiple different colors, I did not like the flow of it. It looked like a bunch of random shapes, and lines mushed together into six pieces. All six of the pieces were made from tile that was cut into shapes to make objects. Compared to Life Patterns, and The Hope Wall, this one is my least favorite. The idea of the design came from the different people at the University of Rochester. It helps celebrate…

    As I crested the dune my breath was taken away. Below me was the oasis, in it’s center was a crystal clear lake. Surrounded by palm trees, it looked like nothing I had ever seen before. It was easy to see why the Blessed had chosen this location for our first church, the contrast between the light blues of the water and the luscious greens of the forest was otherworldly. Especially after all the yellow I had seen in the past week.…

    Upon entering the living room, the golden honey colored hardwood floor creaks underfoot and the fireplace stands out from the roughly textured, earthy green walls that rise up to the textured white ceiling. The long narrow boards that make up the beautifully maintained hardwood floor run lengthwise making this room look even bigger than it actually is. The textured ceiling was done in multi-directional, sweeping, fan patterns that resemble seashells. Hanging in the center of the room is a fifty-two inch brass-trimmed ceiling fan with five dark wood colored blades. Below the fan blades are three frosted glass, bell shaped covers which shade the light bulbs.…

    One of my favorite collections was the “in the bedroom”. All of the bedrooms were older looking bedrooms, and what made them interesting was you see part of the room but to see the artist in the picture you have to look in the mirror. Not only does the mirror show the character he is portraying, but it also gives…

    Sullivan, Zero from Nightmare Before Christmas, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, Mushu and Cricket from Mulan, and Au Naturel from the Minion Movie). Next to my window is my collage of pictures. I have 3 short silver wires and each holds 4 bright pictures; below those, I have a wood frame that has a picture of me and my childhood friends; and my last picture on that wall is my "Alice Down the Rabbit Hole", it is another and different interpretation of the story. Now on to my right wall, this wall is a little different than the rest. My twin sized bed is on the floor right up against the wall, but the wall itself slants inward, right over my bed. My blanket on my bed is an orange quilt that has an old purple floral design on it. It has a retro look. At the foot of my bed, is a short, white foot dresser that my great-grandfather built my mother. On that is where my black Dell computer and my white Google Chrome charge (those lay side by side), next to those is where I keep my large and colorful Biology binder. On top of that stands my Pocket People that I got when I traveled to New…

    A Smallplace

    Attending the University of Georgia is a dream for many students. After several months, the city of Athens, Georgia becomes a new home for thousands of new incoming freshman. For me, I take great honor in saying that I live in the Classic City. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of “campus tour” busses and tour groups around campus, looking and observing the area and its inhabitants. I remember just last year when I took campus tours to help guide my decision of which college I wanted to attend after high school from an outsider’s view. But, now that I am on the inside, it seems extraordinarily odd to have people observing you and your hometown. However, without this sort of tourism, I would have not been able to benefit from being able to decide where I wanted to spend the next four years of my life. In reading A Small Place, Kincaid explains her dislike for tourists in Antigua. Though she makes several valid points, it seems as if tourism is more beneficial than harmful.…

    Picture frames sit in front of the books inside the frames hold pictures of old friends and family, along with new ones. A table and two chairs are placed to the right of the bookshelf. The table and chairs are a matching pair with metal bars to hold them up and black accents on the table top and the backs of the chairs. A intricate glass vase sits on top of the table filled with bright red tulips that I snagged from my grandmas garden before moving here. Some of their petals are turning maroon and are beginning to wilt, I should water them soon.…

    There is a place where my family travels every weekend in the summer. I have gone there ever since I can remember. I have pictures of my family and me up there from before I was one year old. This is a place I call my "camp". My grandparents moved up there a few years ago and now live there all year round. It is a very family-oriented place, and all of my Dad's close family has houses up around there. All the houses are so close that many generations of cousins have all grown up together. My camp is on Lake Winnepesaukee, in New Hampshire.…
