3. Lawrence Calcagno Evening Game, watercolor on paper

I like that you included one of the video installation pieces in your blog. I didn't see the deer video on my first trip, but only when I went to the art gallery the next week with my work. I chose to talk about the "Mariner 9," which was the one that looked like a scene on Mars. I really liked these videos and found them really interesting. It must have taken so much time to piece all of the elements together and give them all of the special effects.
ReplyDeleteI almost wrote about the Twilight Avenger, I really liked that piece and I almost wrote about it, but decided to use a different one. I like that you also decided to use mixed medias and not just all of one type. You did a really good job reflected and relating to all of the pieces, I really liked reviewing your blog.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the fact that all the pieces in your collection are a different medium. I agree that the Twilight Avenger piece is really cool. The piece jumps out at you and there is a heavy emphasis on the green deer. The color of the deer is abnormal which increased my curiosity.
