Reviewing the work in the art gallery, I saw much of the same sort or artwork I would expect to see there. But looking closer, I became intrigued with a few of the pieces. The piece done about the study of waste was interesting. The fact that it used the wall it was mounted on was an innovative idea. It had a real industrial quality to the aesthetics of the piece.The reflective cylinder works done by Laura Konopinski reflected the element of surrealism very nicely. The interaction involved with the piece was a greta feature as well. Moving the cone around the large canvas to see different imagery from it gave the piece more than was physically there in the first place.The photos by Erin Gerard, I felt did a good job in depicting the emotions it stated in the descriptions. I was not impressed with the paintings about sex. It seems to me that every semester, there has to be at least one person who creates paintings showing sex of some sort. They are always blown up big on large canvas and put out in the middle for everyone to see, as if to make sure they do not miss them. I understand the reasonings behind their statements of the pieces and why they made them, but I feel they are way overdone now. Everyone is sick of seeing private parts and naked people in action.The large B&W panoramic pictures about Camera Obscura were executed amazingly. The way the photos were stitched together and the high resolution, with solid blacks, crisp detail, and dynamic shadows added to the success of the piece. After looking at the pieces closer, I was more impressed with the majority of the pieces in the gallery. The craft of the pieces seemed to be well executed overall as well.
