Family Blackboard Analysis

After looking through chapter one I had looked through many images but out of them I found two I disliked as well as two I liked and related to. One the of the first images i looked at was on page 24 and was called “Family Blackboard”. This painting was made by Jane Ash Poitras.

It was plate number 2 and is called “Enraged Rage Outrage” this painting i feel like i could really rate to any culture it was very depressing and very just thrown together. it was almost like a scene you would see for a scary movie. it was defined as “angry art” and I can see why. I was not a fan of this one. my last painting i looked at was also one I was not a fan of was on page 29 and the plate number is 8. the painting was a self portrait by Joe Feddersen.

It seem like the guy in the picture is very sad or depressed. All the textures in the back make it seem like he is the wind and is maybe struggling. Overall the pictures in this first chapter were all great in there own way even though i disliked and liked more than the
