Barr-Metaphor

1-The first picture is Jason deCaires Taylor and it is called Slide Ring of Children. I think the idea of building of a sculpture and submerged into the water then letting the coral and water wear it away is a very cool idea. It inspires me because it is a very different perspective to have. I like the idea of making a sculpture first and I think that I may try that in order to make my project creative and fun.

2-The second picture is Matt Cauthron and I do not know the name but I think that it is kind of eery. An eye on a stick is kind of a weird point of view but at the same time the color of the eye is blue-greenish and it makes the picture way brighter and a warmer feel. This is gives me a ton of ideas to be way more creative because I would have never of thought to do this at all.

3-The third picture is Rene Magritte. I like the layers a lot on this picture. The buildings look kind of claylike but painted which is really cool. This inspired me because of the men oddly placed in the air like rain. It brings me to the song "It's Raining Men" which is probably not his inspiration but this really works with our ideas of picking lyrics and relating to your work.

Miranda Lambert-The House that Built Me I thought if I could touch this place or feel it This brokenness inside me might start healing Out here it’s like I’m someone else I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave Won’t take nothing but a memory From the house that built me

-I think that this song provokes emotional feelings from people. In the song Miranda Lambert is singing about a house that she used to love and had to leave but I feel that you can use the house with anything that means a lot to you. For example a person, pet, or even a place. I think that in High School it is truly difficult to find the real you and until you do you feel broken or lost without knowing. You also just feel like you don't know what is the true you and you are someone else. Someone who would interpret this song may feel like it is just about house or all their memories could come back to them that they have forgotten. That is exactly what I want. I want people to feel emotion to this whether it be happy or sad. I think that we push our memories away because either we don't want to think about them because if we do we know we can never experience them again or that they are just what we don't want to think about. I am kind of taking a personal aspect in this because I do want to portray feeling out of this. I don't have an idea of what to put together yet because it hasn't come to me but I know that it will be sentimental especially because I am a senior and I do want to remember all of the good things Pewaukee has given me.
