- - This piece is called Mud Ring Platter. It is a round platter that is concave like a
bowl. The majority of the platter is a blue-grey color with a shiny finish when
it is shown under the light. On either side of the platter there are rings of
varying color and size. It looks similar to drops of water rippling across the
top of water. The color rings are a light yellow, light blue and a darker black
outline of the rings. There are two large groups of rings and several smaller
groups surrounding the largest group. The colors of the rings have a medium
value and a medium to low chroma. The blue-grey background has a low value and
a low chroma.
- - I especially liked this piece because it is very
calming. All of the colors are low in chroma and the hue of the colors creates
a peace felling. The platter was my favorite choice because many of the other
pieces were “loud” and they jumped out at your eye. This piece still had a way
of drawing my eye in, but it also relaxed my mind at the same time. I compared
it earlier to a ripple on water and like a ripple its nice to look at but its
not terribly exciting. I think I chose this piece because it relaxed me and was
beautiful at the same time.
- - The techniques used are some kind of pottery
design and painting. It seems that the artist was careful with his color choice
to make this piece very neutral. The preciseness of the lines used in the rings
is impressive. The colors are very harmonious and pleasing to the eye. The
color relativity works well between the different rings, and also with the
background.
- - My interpretation is that this piece is supposed
to reflect raindrops on water. The artist did a good job at giving me a
peaceful feeling that I get when I listen or watch rain. And also captured the
beauty of ripples on water.
- - I loved this piece I really enjoy rain and
listening to rain and this embodies what that feels like to me. I think the
artist did a great job with the composition of this piece and the colors that
complement the meaning.

- - I was inspired by this piece to shoot
photographs of water. But I wanted the water to have color and create a peaceful
mood. My photographs accomplish this. My colors are much brighter and have a
much greater chroma then that of the original piece. I don’t think the color
takes away from the overall peaceful mood of the photos. Working with the water
was difficult but fun. I enjoyed being inspired by this artwork.
