The Beauty of Art

                I walked into Earl Hall for the first time looking for an interesting piece of art. It was fun walking around and admiring everything I saw made by students. Art always interests me in some way; it shows a very personal side of people that I think is incredible. From the many beautiful pieces I found, this one really stuck out to me. It didn’t have a name or artist’s name that I could find, and the lighting made it so there was a pretty bad glare. But from what you can see in the picture, it looks really cool. It’s nothing really special or amazing, but it definitely caught my eye. Two simple ideas of vases turned into something great.

 In person you could see each little detail put into it. There were many patterns that made it look more appealing. You can tell that it took some time to make it look so perfect. I also love the color choice that was used. The light brown for the base of the vase along with the darker brown for the design really flowed well together. The scales on the dragon were done very well I think. It kind of reminds me of something you would find in old ancient times from history. I think that’s what each vase represents. They vase with the man and the one with the dragon both are compatible with each other, and give off a very ancient feel. I wish they had a name though, I’m very curious to what the artist would call it. After seeing this, I’m definitely going to have to walk around and wander to find some other great pieces of art on campus.
