Gestalt

Gestalt-A collection of physical, biological, psychological or symbolic entities that creates a unified concept, configuration or pattern which is greater than the sum of its parts.-Wiktionary

I couldn't really decide on my piece. I couldn't really think of anything to do with the scale. This was a rawing warm up we did in school once, so i decided to use that.

Let's tie up Chris

Well the string activity was so much fun, until it became time to roll it all back up. I started off with actually making a web with my string, but then grew into a huge mess with trying to tie up Chris, Jill, and Thiana. When this started to happen it went from a line exercise to a complete knot with Chris in the middle bound to his chair and Jill attached to him and Thiana just kind of chilling there. I got out easy, which was good I guess, because of the fire drill where Chris and Jill had to stay upstairs because they were still tied up. And against my beliefs we did finally roll all of the string back up.

Line or shape?

A) I've come to believe that this is a line over a shape. It is a line that is either starting off thin and gets fatter as it goes, or the opposite, starts off wide and gets thinner. B) This to me also comes as a line. A wavy line that is thinner at both the start and the end, but thicker in middle. It looks to be a chisel tip that is twisted in the middle to create the thicker line. C) This looks like a shape, a rectangle. Or could also be a very thick line. D) And finally this is a shape. It is a soolid object that doesn't let anything in, or anything out.

Critique 1

This is a picture as which from this pc looks like mostly like cut up black construction paper in shape of squares and rectangles, with 7 color pieces in the bottom right. The pieces are on a white background. The smaller black squares in the top portion are really the only pattern.

I am trying to find the meaning of this piece, but having extreme trouble doing so. Im looking at the color pieces at the bottom for the answers, but still can't think of anything. The only thing I can think of is a statement of segergation, but not sure.

My personal opinion of this piece is that it sucks. There is no meaning, or I'm just missing it. To create this piece requires no skill, and is very boring. I would not stop to view this piece if it was the last piece of art left in the world, and to be honest I have no idea why I even picked this piece to critique.
