GOCA


He is sitting on the stone ledge right outside the main clock tower building. its a life size piece you can see his ripped shorts and his really nice hair and you see the emotion he has but we don't know why his emotion is down. 

Classic car means classic home this is a classic place you look left you see old school you look right you see old school where you see its old school its old color do springs down town. 

why is he standing up and why is hi shat on the seat? his well dress and his standing up by him self this makes me think that this city thats its well organize and that its in top shape and its well looked. 


look at this picture made me see that colorado is a really beautiful and colorful place. this picture has a few colors so does colorado it has a few colors all year long no mater what time of day or what day you see it you will see the different tone of colors. 


a older man and a young boy is holding a pumpkin and you see that the boy is having a hard time with it but the old man is there to give him a hand. Just like this city everyone is always giving people a hand when they really need it we all stay together. 

Analysis part 2 

The GOCA art exhibit had a lot of meaningful images that captured all sorts of things that went further than what was on the image that you see. Some great example of powerful photographs were the ones of the disabled children. The photos did not only touched you externally as you see their wounds, and bandages, and injures also it goes further it talks to you emotionally and mentally.  The images have a lot of power in the meaning to it. They convey all the struggles of the children so that they speak to you in different ways and in different languages that you understand because its the same meaning that you get out of it.  You can feel the pain and you can see and fell emotional suffering in a visible what that all the eyes of the viewer. 
In John Berger’s book called Ways of Seeing he starts chapter one by telling us that seeing comes before words been spoken. when people are Seeing it allows for them to internalize and understand meanings that is the real meaning for us. In the book he says "It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but words can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it" (Berger, 7). I believe that seeing allows you to place yourself to with the meaning you get from that picture of what ever you looking at. So i think that it plays a big role when critiquing and analyzing pieces of art. As we (the viewers) we were not there to talk to the artist or to see what was going around at the time he or she are painting so we cant not say what kind of emotion the gad we can only get an ideal of it and only put things that we have by the meaning of the piece of art.
