this sculpture from a park is trying to tell as history. I relate to this because I remember my grandmother use to tell me stories about how in her village people use to get water from a fountain like that in sculpture.I guess that’s the reason this looks more interesting to me. when I first looked at this work I wondered why this is all gold and black? and why didn’t the artist didn’t use other colors? that might be a season because the artist wanted to show the history in his work so he or her used colors like black brown or gold because it makes the viewer think about old and antique things .I think the artist tries to express feelings about the dream or some old memories. I believe the artist is trying to tell the viewers something that we do not know like how hard it was for people to get water. they will have to go to the water fountain pull up the water put it in big water bowls and take that heavy bowl home. the artist is using implied line to get the viewer attention to look at the water bowl. he or she uses unity to create a sense of harmony and wholeness by using similar elements within the composition and placing them in a way that brings them all together.
this art shows a lot of meaning I relate to it because it reminds me of someone brain from inside and in that brain, the person thoughts are going all over the place but at the same time, they are organized. when I first looked at this art I felt like it’s a dream that you get sometimes but you can’t really understand it and you don’t even know why a dream like that came to you. I think this art is a religious story. I believe that artist is trying to tell the viewer about the dream or the story that maybe happened to him or her. the first time I looked my eyes went straight to the long green tower that might be the town where the story took place and I notice that artist uses the Arabic language to maybe give the clues about the story. the artist does use organic shapes to make the work look natural and uses variety to make art look more interesting. the artist uses white color to get over focus so we can notice an important message about the art in that white letter.
Hello Amna,
I very much enjoyed looking at the water fountain sculpture you provided. I reflect on how lucky we are not to be able to pull water from water fountain like the lady is doing. I bet those people whom were less fortunate struggle so much that it makes me thankful for what we have. There is a still a huge need in accessing good quality of water in less fortunate countries. I think this image sends us a message to help in whatever we can so every human being can drink healthy water.
Lovely personal analysis – I can see all of the aspects that you explore!
Hi Amna,
I really enjoyed reading your post. You provided some great insight for the artworks that you chose and it was nice to read your personal analysis. I really like that sculpture and the meaning you derived from it. May I ask where that piece is located?
Hello Amna,
I am so shocked to see the first portrait. I have never actually seen a well and hope to someday visit one. Hearing and researching stories of the concept just amazes me how people were so independent and had the will power to find water and carry it to their homes. We are so blessed tat we have accessible water to us in our homes. In addition we have the privilege to use clean water as most people don’t but in the event that we do we should be more alert and aware how we waste and use it. The second art was hard to see but it looked like a maze game. However it looks extremely vibrant and it uses repetitious shapes, colors, and lines.
