REACTION

Going into class, I didn't know what to expect. I don't see myself as someone who has an artistic person. I showed the photography class the five photos I picked to show. I didn't know how they were going to be received. I had the thought in my head that all art has different appreciation. The first photo of my windowpane with a cactus behind it was the first one to be looked at. Mostly everyone liked it, but found the pin distracting from the overall picture. The second picture was the open window from my living room. People really enjoyed it and found it very romantic. The third picture was the buildings in Chile, people really liked this one and thought that the buildings was a nice touch and was very bright and detailed. The fourth picture was of the kitchen in my apartment. People really like the bright colors and the array of colors that were present, but found that was a lot of white space in the picture. The fifth picture was of the shoes drying on my windowpane. They enjoyed the colors and the light in the background. Everyone in the class liked different ones for different reasons.
i was very surprised by their reaction, the picture that I least liked was the one that most people really enjoyed. Also their critics were very constructive and I understood very well what were the things that they didn't find appealing about them. The only thing that I don't think that the class understood was the first picture. To me that pin is the most important thing in the world. I wouldn't be where I am right now, if it wasn't for the internship with the Cross-Cultural Leadership Center.
