I am grateful for all the things I’ve learned from this class, especially how to express my thoughts about art more effectively. I'll miss our conversations in class and during exhibits. The memories will stay with me for a long time. Thanks to everyone for this amazing experience.

I totally get that! Ogundipe's work really does have that effect. The vibrant colors and imagery pull you in, making you reflect on deeper themes like life's fragility and meaning.

I completely agree with this statement! Art that shows strong reactions can be challenging but also incredibly powerful. It pushes us out of our comfort zones and makes important conversations between each other.

Overall, after looking at each piece more I can imagine multiple stories that connect in my brain. When I was a kid I remember we had the same style of art on glass. in my living room and this art brought back good memories from my childhood. Great job!

The three artworks remind me of a fairytale. The first one to the left, we can see many animals that surround that place. One side of the picture seems like a peaceful setting but the other side where the girl is what looks like burning in fire seems a little dark.

Please let me know who made these pieces because I lost the picture of the title and the name of the artist. It drew my attention because it's cool to see the same style but a different story on each piece.

I can see maybe what looks like music baronies in the middle, displaying the artist's interest in music. Also it could mean the thoughts in the brain messy and when they come out they are steady.

This one is another piece called "What's in a Thought?" by Theo Hansen. What looks like a big rug/canvas and paint over it. You can see foot steps in red, a big circle surrounding the thoughts.

I feel like I can relate to the meaning of the title because every day depending on how the day will go I have to choose what brain I want to use. Sometimes I have to wear my coding brain and do coding, for the most part, socializing brain, etc. An amazing work!

Another art that was made by my friend Theo Hansen called "Which Brain Will I Wear Today?" Amazing concept of self-reflection and decision-making. I love the canvas and the light lines around him.

I love art where an artist makes art that people can make their own and display. It's a connection between the artist and the viewers. It feels like I am a part of the art and an artist in some way.

I like that she made an easy interface for people to create their own tiles but also have some variety in color options and etc. I wondered first what she used to do create the website and then saw p5 on the left top corner.

One of my friends Olivia Sinnet was one of the artists who showed case their work. The project called "The Tile Project" is Cool to see a person that you know present their art and experience it in person.

And the last one is "Mystic, My Man" by the same artist. Again we can see the same style of color choice and the tongue sticking out. The person is now holding a cat with their hand and what looks like skipping towards something.

#ConArtInSitu

Sapar @sapardu.bsky.social · Jun 13

I see the style of a person sticking their tongue on this piece as well. No emotion shown by the person makes it more funnier because we as viewers expect some emotions but we don't get any. Love this piece!

This is another one by Adailia called "Haha, You've Been Mooned' I can see a theme with the color choice and the style of the art. This one the author focuses more on the humor of the piece.

Also love the yarn work and how it's well blended with the whole piece itself. The color combination and the unique style give these pieces their place and character in an art gallery.

#ConArtInSitu

Sapar @sapardu.bsky.social · Jun 13

For example in "Not Enough Parmesan" I can see what looks like a person enjoying their parmesan with their tongue out and feeding themselves and the yarn is on the wooden plate that is shaped like a ghost/person that seems like they are happy.

This collection by Adailia Nanilei Lorson is stunning. I love the style of each of them and how every piece is unique and has its own character.

I saw what looked like "ABC" letters and was a little confused about what they meant. Probably nothing but it is an interesting touch.

The next one that came to my attention was Syd Lee's "American Born Chinese" I saw the dumplings but not the USA flag from the beginning, but as I looked at it more it was a cool touch to it.

Also, I didn't realize that there were Marlboro cigarettes on the "Toxic" itself. That small detail was fascinating. When I saw it from the side before seeing the name, I thought it was a Marlboro box. I love the big size of it and it looks very realistic.

We went to look at student art and this piece called "Toxic" by Sydney Lee caught my attention. I loved the style of it and how you could see some famous faces on the package.

The colors and the waves told stories of some faraway land and their essence grasped in a gallery room. It was a powerful reminder of the capability and the various waters that our planet has, but each of them embodies some unique beauty.

I felt very close while looking at these rather vibrant representations of the sea. The emotion that each disk evoked was one of serenity and wonder, but also one that reminded me of when I had felt closer to nature outside by the ocean.
