Third Ward Photos

The Third Ward in Milwaukee was filled with many "artsy" objects. The Third Ward seemed like a ghost town when we visited. It had large buildings and homes, however I did not see many people. I personally found the Third Ward to be weird. I do not intend to go back soon. 
This first photograph I took was of a vintage car. This car really popped out. For some reason I felt I had to take a picture. This car had good craftsmanship and great balance as far as color schemes go. 

This is a picture of me next to a gold Buddha statue. I thought is was interesting and felt it was necessary to take a picture with it. I believe the statue was made out of metal and contained a great deal of detail. I could tell this statue took a long time to make.

My favorite photo is this one. The setting of this photo was a sketchy basement of an antique store. These dolls were probably made a long time ago in South Eastern Asia. They seemed like they had a voodoo or taboo spirit inside them. They were very crafty. I'm sure at one point the were a kid's favorite toy. 

MIAD Photos

Everything at MIAD really caught my eye. The color schemes and variety which each piece used is what drew my attention during our tour through the college. At MIAD I was mainly interested in the depth and completion all the student's final art pieces seemed to have. 
This first gallery featured drawing and painting medias. With these tools, the students at MIAD were able to create certain perspectives, perspectives which could not be portrayed using other medias. Some of these pieces were more simple than others, however none of them lacked full quality. 

This next gallery was primarily made up of abstract paintings. There was something about these art pieces which really caught my attention. The paintings all create a certain unreal sense. These paintings are difficult to describe. 

This category was probably my favorite section, due to the format and style of all these advertisements.
