Guggenheim Museum

    Ufan Lee is a Korean artist known of his nature and ability to form different positions of objects and or lighting to form different points of shading. He positions different element to a point, to show an allusion by painting the shadow of the object and positioning the light to form a shadow at a different angle. In school I've been learning the elements of shading, by going to see Ufan show at the Guggenheim Museum it showed me the different ways i am able to shade.
  The layers of his shading was able to show me the colors going from light to dark or dark to light, and he showed it in many different ways. For example he had paintings based on one color and going from a full paint brush of paint from taping away to having no paint at all. It showed the patterns and the shading of one color just lighting up because of the fact the paint brush was loosing its paint.
   There was another exhibit that caught my attention which was based on a light bulb hanging on top of a canvas bored. The middle of the canvas bored was bright from the light bulb but around the boarder it showed the shades of the light getting darker. He painted a shade of grey to show in details from how farther the light hits the more darker it will be.

MeMo 911

In school I seen paintings based on how people though about 9/11 (Feelings, emotion, and how they pictured it on being). Then I had to go to Memo P.S.1 museum to see the 9/11 show and pick an exhibit to compare it to. The painting I seen in laguardia college was in the stair case, and its a painting of a person in a grave and strings of grass hanging from the painting. When I walked in the museum a saw a similar sculpture. It was in a room by its self blocked off as if you cant walk in. It was like a little stand with a mirror and lights around the mirror. It seemed as if all the belongings of the person was left alone to symbolize the lost of them. Both pictures show a love one gone and the sadness of losing one. Both of these pieces of art was able to show me how they feel about the whole situation and how they went about showing it.
