The art piece that I chose for the art blog is my own rendition of a modern day elementary school in which the primary years of a child's learning experience is emphasized. When I was creating this art piece, I thought about this school being an actual school. I thought about the people that would walk past it and what elements would signify to those people that this is a school? I decided to use basic elements of math, such as shapes, numbers, operation signs, a clock, and colors, to be the representations. The top of the school is characterized by three triangles and a clock. The top triangle is used as the bulletin for the school's name. I used the other two triangles, strictly for my design of a modern day school. The clock is used for a representation of a child learning to tell time for the first time and knowing when school starts. The left-side of the school is characterized by numbers used as windows. I used the numbers, 2, 3,4,5,as windows as a representation of a child learning to count during the primary years of school. These are some of the first numbers a child learns and I decided to use these numbers specifically. The middle building is characterized by shapes. I decided to used the basic shapes such as triangles, a circle, and an oval because these are the first shapes learned. The right-side of the school is characterized by operation signs. I decided to use operation signs as windows because along with learning to count and learning shapes, a child also has to learn basic operations to solving equations. Overall, my art piece is my own rendition of a modern day elemetary school. However, since I decided to use the basic colors, such as green, blue, yellow, and red, I turn my modern day school into a pop-open children's book. Since, these colors have a deeper effect than just being used for the school, I used them for the design for my children's book.
