I really enjoyed the Slow Looking exhibit at the gallery. I found two art pieces really interesting, which are pictured above. I thought the drawing of the city was really impressive because it was so detailed and at such a small scale. The technique used no color, but you could tell the dimensions and shadows of the scene perfectly. I also found the drawing of the face really interesting because I think that it is a good example on how to show the shape and dimensions of a face, which is useful for our bust project. The exhibit had a very good message of using this alum’s collection to allow people to practice “slow-looking” in a world in which we consume so much media so quickly. I also liked that the exhibit was supposed to mimic the alum’s home and how he displayed his collection.
