Module 5

A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?

When i got into the art gallery the first work i noticed was Jonathan Rodgers self portrait of himself. It was like he was welcoming me into the gallery. Another work of Rodgers "self portrait #3"got me thinking why/what made him create this. they made a impact on me because it really drew my attention to the rest of the gallery.

B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?

"route 33" or "Niagara Falls" have a connection with me because it reminded me of Buffalo and that being my home.

C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?

I would like to get to know about the "confession of the mask" and the "presence 5" art works more.  on the mask one it drew me with the 2 buck deer in the middle but on the outside i saw arithmetic equations on the outskirts on the canvas. it just was confusing. and on presence 5 i wanna know why Lynch made a print of this like what made her want to make a print of it?
