Response

I have shown Jackson Pollock’s painting “autumn rhythm” to my friend to see his reaction towards this artwork. The artwork is amazing because the artist had used his abstract expression innovation skills to make this painting. When I have shown this painting, his reaction was strange and he did not understand this artwork for some minutes but after focusing various time on this artwork, he gave his opinion that the artwork is very confusing because the artist expresses his chaos through this artwork and he may also have faced many troubles in his life. He also passed comment on this picture that the artist might want to show the complexity of society. He passed very interesting comments on this picture artwork but his reaction was strange after seeing this.

The picture which is given above is the picture of the campus recreation center of the University of Cincinnati. The picture is showing the very beautiful infrastructure of the building campus recreation center. I have shown this picture as a random student. When he watched this picture, he was amazed and felt satisfied after watching this picture, and the first word he said “wow”.  When he saw this picture clearly and with more focus, he said that it is amazingly mind-blowing how the constructors built and managed all buildings. Furthermore, he was impressed to see the construction artwork as well as said that the picture of this campus has changed my mind that artwork exists everywhere in the world to make things beautiful.
