Craft:
This stair well area was created using various objects and textiles. The ones most noticeable are wood, glass, paint, carpet, water, fishes, leather, and marble.
Composition
The stair wrapped around three or four levels. At the top there was a window that was the shape of a leaf that let natrual sun light in. That shape was seen on every leave and led the bottom which was a pool of water with a seating area. This stairwell had so many elements that worked together from the top to the bottom.
Concept
Because of the shape of the leaf element of the stairwell and the pond at the bottom is made me think of nature and the complexity but simplicity of it.
Although this piece was not one of the paintings we looked at as a masterpiece I considered the masterpiece of the entire museum. For one, it allows people to participate in it's structure and take viewers on a journey to figuring out all that it encompasses. The consistently of the leaf shape from top to bottom, although in different forms was captivating. Even the bottom pool of water was catered towards people with the seating area., so viewers always felt involved. The stairwell was innovative, creative, and probably the one piece of art or structure that doesn't change the most in the museum. This is why it was my choice as, masterpiece.
