My first time going to the local art gallery was quite the experience. My knowledge of art galleries is scarce, but I had always wanted to visit one and boy, was it a life-changing experience seeing how people see art.
The “Hope” exhibition was a beautiful demonstration of the contemporary life of the artists. One piece in the exhibition stood out to me; it was called “Mother” by Keerat Kaur. This piece of pure art was so realistic that you could see the little peach fuzz on the lady’s face. This piece was a realistic painting, and Kaur also incorporated embroidery on the canvas of a life-like heart. Through this piece, one could feel the pride that Kaur wanted to demonstrate for mothers and grandmothers and the gift of life they give their children.
Keerat Kaur was one of many artists whose pieces were displayed in this exhibition. Each piece had its own demonstration of community and contemporary life in its own particular way. An exhibition like this would be amazing for students to experience in order for them to understand different cultures. I feel that the Two Rivers Gallery is a wonderful place to bring students so that they can learn to appreciate different types of artistic expression and maybe even get to explore their own artistic abilities.
In the future, I would love to bring my students on a field trip to the Two Rivers Gallery because I believe it is a wonderful place to discover art and allows the students to find art that resonates with them and that they connect with. It would be wonderful to get the students to participate in an art class where they can explore their individual artistic abilities.
