    Visit to the MDC North Gallery

    For this assaignment, I enjoyed the experience of attending a private viewing of the designs of Ralph Provisero in MDC North Gallery. I never knew that the school had a gallery, and it was nice to attend the gallery with the students and the teacher. We were asked to write about seven, and to elaborate on our favorite one and these are mine:

    My favorite piece: Black Eye

    My reflection: The Black Eye was immediatley my favorite piece simply because eyes portray mystery and perspective and it instantly left me intrigued. The eye is a symbol of vigilance and a window to the soul. The background is a bright colored red and very lively. I wondered why the artist decided to use such a vivid and bright color as opposed to a dull or darker color or tone. What I could interpret from this piece is that even when a person is surrounded by vividness, happyness, cheerfulness, or excitment (the red background) their is still always a speck of evil in this word (symbolism for the black eye). The title is important because it emphasizes perhaps the most important part of this particular work, the eye.
