- 20 bronze sculptures
- each piece had roughly the same textures even though they were all very different. there were parts to the pieces where the bronze was extremely smooth and other parts what were rough with different reliefs. the two different textures created an edgy look to the pieces.
- the only colors that were on her pieces were the bronze and a teal. i'm not quite sure how she got the teal color- whether or not it was some type of chemical rub or not- but she made the pieces more interesting to look at by having the color variation.
- my favorite piece of hers was called "Caelestis", which was a low relief. it was very different from her other pieces in that it was flat. however, it was still created with the bronze and teal and was still covered with both textures. i also liked the piece "Hastings Muse" because it almost looked as if there was a hand on the side holding the entire piece together, like stabilizing it in a way.
James Walsh:
- 12 acrylic on canvas
- his pieces were abstract in that they all seemed like he took tubes of acrylic paint and emptied them in piles on the canvases
- there were two different textures of paint used- one was smooth and glossy, almost like wax, and the other was more coarse and had a rubbery look to it.
- he used many different colors, which i liked because it made them more interesting, that gave each canvas a different feel. "The Dark Fantastic" was created using mostly dark blues and makes it look like a night scene. on the other hand, "Yellow One" was painted with bright colors so the feel that is given is the opposite in that it seems more like a daytime sunny scene.
- one of my favorite paintings was "Coloring". the colors used were a mix of warm and cool colors- oranges, yellows, pinks, whites, and blues. i liked it because the way he laid out the paint made it seem like he was painting a scenic view of mountains.
Ann Walsh:
- 12 pieces- some made with wood, some with urethane on wood, some with plexiglas, and others on a board. they were covered with either vinyl or acrylic.
- every piece had stripes (except one)- either 3 or 4, all horizontal. the one exception piece had a design on the corner that made it look like there were layers being exposed.
- there are many different colors used on her pieces. some are related colors on a piece, like yellows and greens, while other pieces are opposites like orange and purple.
- her pieces were my least favorite because they were plain in my opinion. it wasn't anything original and although they were cool to look at, i didn't feel like they were anything special or unique.
