Chelsea

Chelsea In this painting there are many things that can be analyzed or compared. The first thing that stood out to me was the indifferent looks on the womens faces. They do not seem very angry, or happy but more as if they were caught off guard.The painter made a point to say the painting was satirical. This means that the photo is attempting to show a point in history that made an impact. It is possible that the women are angry that they do not have much power, and are ruled by the men of society. Now that America has independence from America it is possible that the higher class was negatively effected by this, due to the change from aristocracy to democracy. The higher class look of the photo adds an effect that most Americans in our society would expect. The tea drinking, fancy clothing and jewelery is usually what we would assume out of British high class. It can also be assumed that the painting behind the three women is a German painting. Which caused a lot of uprising in America during the time. They did not beleive that Germany should be allowed to produce a painting that declared America's independence.

My narrative is about my childhood and the neighborhood in which my friends and I ran through while playing hide and go seek tag. While we were at the museum I looked for photos that looked youthful or reminded me of my neighborhood. In the following pictures, I believe they portray my narrative very well. This painting is called //Les Lauriers Roses// by Vincent Van Gogh. This reminded me of the neighborhood I used to live in. The "crazy cat lady" ,as I referred to her in my narrative, had a beautiful garden in her backyard. Her backyard is where I fell in broke my ankle, and I remember as I was laying on the ground I saw her immense amount of roses all through her backyard. The bright colors in the background remind me of my childhood as well. My room, until the day I moved out was pink, with yellow flowers. The pink flowers and pale green background really emphasized this memory for me. This image is //Roping Fresh Mounts// by Charles Marion Russell. Even though it seems like something completely unrelated to a childhood. I immediately though of tag when I saw this painting. It reminded me of someone being "it" in hide and go seek tag. All of the horeses represent the children running, to avoid getting tagged. Even the teepee in the background could represent the houses in the neighborhood.

This image is the //Mural for the Terrace Plaza Hotel// by Joan Miro. It reminded me of the craziness of a child's life. Every shape in this mural is unique but vibrant and important. Everyone of us in the narrative had a big age difference, and were all very different. But somehow we all came together and had a lot of fun together. Just like all of the shapes and colors in this mural come together to form something beautiful.
