The randomness and absurdity of this image made me look and stare, admiring it.

Sushi at my favorite restaurant from last Friday!

the way the sushi is lined up, the overall presentation and color palette of the tray was major eye candy for me.

The contrast between the black and white copies and the faces we made in the photos created a fun viewing experience.

Need I say less, the perspective and positioning makes this sculpture very funny and I love coming here to look at this sight.

All the gems and stones are different colors and create a fun contrast and pattern against the clear case.

My friend wearing a shirt with a funny design

I like its simplicity and how straight forward it is I can see that the designer intended for the shirt to be funny and it works. It made me laugh.

The way the moon lights up the night sky was truly just a beautiful sight.

Journal Reflection

lindathanhnguyen06 — 2024-10-15 19:34:01 UTC

In my encounters of art, I think they encompass what I personally find beautiful. The mundane and silly things in my life perhaps don't have much meaning to someone else, but to me, they bring so much joy. Obviously, the art I see in my everyday life isn't always something that was made intentionally to be in a museum or have an audience look at all the time. For example, the sushi's purpose wasn't to be viewed with an artistic lens such as an art installation at a museum, but I still found it visually appealing and artistic in a different way. Overall, this journal helped me realize that art is up to one's interpretation and beauty is subjective. Art doesn't have to made or done with the intention of being art, but is still valid and visually enticing.
