The artwork at the display was inspired by competitive athletes . This Michael Jordan painting in particular, by artist Stanley Silver, correlates to the artist feelings towards his work. For example, Michael Jordan is an iconic figure and great predecessor of his ti me and more time to come. In relation, Mr. Silvers technique is traced through his abstract styles and the use of contemporary water color is intriguing and historically prominent. I think the artist made the choice of this style of development from his personal love of competitive athleticism.
You would think the painting of Michael Jordan would be on a portrait placement but instead it was on a landscape placement. I enjoyed that because Jordan is usual in portrait placed paintings/posters and I understand the way he wanted others to see it. What is interesting is that it made me reflect on my purpose in life without focusing on my everyday frequent disruptions of chaos. All of the colors were warming and vibrant, the use of contrast made the content not boring and too in depth but more personal and happy. So Overall, I enjoyed the Burgamont Station gallery and Stanley Silver’s Breath & Shadow exhibit.

Tim Burton exhibit

This exhibit showed the creative artists sketches models and props for his countless blockbuster movies such as nightmare before Christmas, Batman, When Mars Attacks, Edward Scissor Hands, Planet of the Apes, as well as other cartoons and shorts. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the imagination and work behind coming up with characters and landscapes for his films. I didn’t take too many pictures as went through tbhe gallery, but I captured a couple of sketches for the makings of planet of the apes.
I like the gestural quality of these sketches, they appear to have life or character. Figures are animated and landscapes are dynamic. I visit other exhibits throughout the Lacma. I saw other exhibits such as the art of the pacific; a look into past art in tribal cultures. In addition, I saw other ancient art from European, Islamic, and Asian cultures all in the Ahmanson building. Moreover I saw some abstract and impressionistic art. I enjoyed seeing the different styles and processes of arts from the past to the present. I like to be versatile and would like to experiment with as many of these techniques as possible.
