It is the Museum Of Modern Art that all freestyle students go to every year. We had to find pictures that either meant something to us, or really, really didn&#8217;t. The first 3 images are ones that I connect with, while the final 2 I don&#8217;t particularly enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without further ado, welcome to my museum.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EXHIBIT A: ACCEPTED<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/iuIngKq0fS1tRwxDEG9TkX3a2Sj6D7QbkjjwEWf8eKkIGXjqwgOyN_VptYmII8Jc6rfTLk0dtECw0TP27GGr116hsfQ_AwZxKoJhDac-jjQiUJHk9gSZDrJgr9RLb760_QuofOUn\" alt=\"Image result for richard avedon beatles\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beatles &#8211; Red Richard Avedon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This picture has a special meaning to me because The Beatles are really important to me. Music is one of the most important things in my life, and you will constantly see me with headphones in, listening to whatever new song I\u2019m addicted to on repeat with enough volume to make my eardrums ring because that\u2019s the kind of person I am. That\u2019s why I would keep this in my personal collection because the people in it are important, so it is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EXHIBIT B: ACCEPTED<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/DXVyyHRmALOnIwcPOS3pl_fz-hYMHMa4uhHnXDc23Y6RDHXzhCztfus0mLf8cp8ybhGa94sLb8CjsZtsGCBBHu37TUPpLVHwdMxz-HuxBFvwOnua-Z5ipeo5dNQz1T27_8As0WQM\" alt=\"Image result for sol lewitt 12x23x12\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12x23x12 by Sol LeWitt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was just a beautiful piece of art. Everything else in the museum is a picture, there is some underlying meaning to every picture and you can\u2019t relax. With this, it\u2019s just calm. It\u2019s beautiful and intricate and so different from everything else that I saw that it really stuck in my head. This is simultaneously incredibly intricate and very plain. It shows an incredible contrast and just speaks to me for some reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EXHIBIT C: ACCEPTED<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/gYIYQI08uIwL7sbea8V4_CT7JqnoUC3-jq2IhU0OCQqnCxIU_qemnQ2dX8tsI_iXjMNzY2LT64JrHt4w2od0OKvmYXXGgxIboTv4tO_NHa8RnnBkiAQ_3-7yIKk1j68jD-5CmgIA\" alt=\"Image result for 256 farben\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spiegel, Blutrot by Gerhard Richter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This particular piece just seemed to catch my eye, there was no real reason behind it. It stood out in a room full of exotic artwork that all had some deep meaning behind them. This just sort of calmed me down, it was nice and simple and, compared to random pieces of warped and rusting metal signifying the faultiness of god, it was pleasant. I don\u2019t have some deep philosophical reason to like it or anything else. I just like the way it looks and it speaks to me for some reason. If anything, this is a reflection of my character seeing as how colorful it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EXHIBIT D: REJECTED<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/sC2XKpSBpq4RoumlORlqATKZJAZLwVmIHgp_jT9scPsNiqYjVAXwXHtZphmsaHoZ-kxSYWBwn8bWOFLS0V9dAhaZcL4CMXk8wZEEqp9bcl9pbcDJBktg5EnsU7GqSQfCkPB1EcvU\" alt=\"Image result for Daymaker modern art\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daymaker by Stephan Powers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really don\u2019t like this piece, it feels to loud. There is so much going on in such a little space and on top of that, not of the pieces of art are truly significant. It is just a random collage of signs that might have a deeper meaning to some people, but to me it just looks lazy. I know \u201cwho I am\u201d is a mess and my personality is piecemeal like this work of art, but I have standards, all of my parts mean something whether it is a deep part of my soul, or some loud colorful part to make you look, everything in me has meaning. The same can\u2019t be said for this piece of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EXHIBIT E: REJECTED<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/DaWjekjDzsGVdRD-bgPwy6_ZmxbLgaXnnyTsikC7i3TkJT-bppLLlCVGufAVfYUXbFTCQoTFzaiPdDNos3DWlfPbuhIsN-ZU-xUb9HEU1vDk2EXPU0SHlL0TSHlGE7dL7SxdMXTK\" alt=\"Image result for sol lewitt wall drawings\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wall Drawing by Sol LeWitt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, this piece is lazy. It is something your 3 year old did, for all it is is someone drawing on a wall in different colored crayons. There is no deep meaning behind this, there is no calming aura, there isn\u2019t even any kind of distinct pattern. With some of the other pieces, I could at least understand why some people might like the piece, but for this, it just feels tacky and lazy. This exhibition is supposed to show art that I think shows who I am and who I\u2019m not. Above all, I\u2019m not plain. I am a mess and I am more colorful than a rainbow, but I am not someone that you forget easily, even though it might be a bad thing. This, the only reason I remembered it was because I took a picture and thought of it as boring. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here, we were tasked with finding different pictures around the SF MOMA.
