2. PERSONAL RESPONSE
The Lutgart sculpture is very meaningful to me as of right now my major is undeclared but, I am planning to be a business major so I am taking a couple classes in Lutgart hall. I see this sculpture every single day of week going to class and multiple times driving by it every day. I think it is one of the most iconic sculptures that Florida Gulf Coast University has. It is a pretty simple sculpture to look at there is not much going on, just two stainless steel blocks coming out of the ground. However, walking up to it is a bit intimidating. You actually have to look up and view this tall sculpture. When I think about things I have to look upwards for I think of authority figures. Because I planning on being a business major a lot of the people I will look up to in the next four years will be in that building.
Another thing that stands out to me is the finish on the stainless steel; it has a rough brush texture to it and I like that because I do not like neat looking things. Every …show more content…

This sculpture is non-objective. The sculpture is placed in an infinity pool with waterfall steps leading to the main entrance of the campus. However, you can view this sculpture from all of its sides. You can get about six feet away from it unless you want to wade through the pool then you can touch it. This sculpture is quite tall standing about twenty feet high. The overall form of the sculpture is a rectangular prism bent to make curves. This sculpture is represented in two freestanding parts. Both made from the same material and they are the same height. The stainless steel has been glossed and brushed to create a texture on the surface. No environmental conditions will affect this piece of work it is made from one hundred percent stainless steel. It might need to get cleaned every once in a while but I don’t believe that anything but a hurricane could destroy this piece of

    On Friday, October 2nd, I visited the Wittliff art collection at Texas State University. I was very excited at how much art I was going to see as I made my way to the 7th floor of the Alkek Library, which is where the Wittliff art collection is located in. Sadly, with all of the artwork that was displayed, I was having trouble deciding on which art pieces to write this critique on. However, two certain 2-D pieces caught my eye. Out of all of the displays in the art collection, I ended up choosing Keith Carter’s photograph and Kate Breakey’s painted photograph.

    The extension appears to have no blunt ends and can be described as large swirls that represent the clouds in a storm or streams of water. The extension has remnants of its once vibrant blue paint still intact on the left side of the piece. If the statue is viewed directly from the front the extension appears as a thin column of rectangles stacked along the middle of the nose. However, from the side the protruding nature of the extension are apparent if observed from various standing angles.

    The creator of the statue had artfully used the sun to contrast the bronze figure with the remaining stone column and pedestal. When the sun shines down upon the bronze figure, he is illuminated. Consequently, when an individual sees the statue, their eye is immediately drawn to the shining, bright Calhoun. One could surmise that the artist had attempted to illustrate the level of political prowess and sophistication that Calhoun achieved during his life through the use of height. The monument stands at 115 feet tall with a bronze depiction of Calhoun at the top.

    It is inconceivable that some of this art was created thousands of years ago, given the intricacy and mesmerizing beauty of some of the pieces there. The exhibits that captured my imagination the most were those collections from the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman civilization. I have always been intrigued by ancient civilization for their vast contributions to the present time. In large, this fascination is a product of the vast amount of knowledge that we have about them from the countless art pieces, sculptures, tombs, literature, writing scrolls, artifacts, clothes and other things that we have been able to uncover and preserve. Moreover, the material that I have acquired in this Humanities class, not only has broadened my knowledge and understanding of those civilization, but also has forged strong connection with them.
