Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The Eagle is one the sculpture that I don’t like in the Olympic Sculpture Park. The eagle is one of Alexander Calder’s collections. He is a sculptor, painter, and illustrator. He created this art piece in 1971. The piece is perched atop a hill and seems to be spreading its wings ready to fly off over the Puget Sound in search of salmon as it describe. It is a grant painted steel sculpture in red. The reason I don’t like it, it is because the title, Eagle, and the sculpture doesn’t look like an eagle to me and also it doesn’t look like anything powerful as it always symbolize to. I have to run by Western Ave everyday to work in the evening. It is just a big distraction me either when I stopped at the red light waiting or driving by. I always catch it in the corner or my eyes because it is so huge, in red and the center piece of the park, also, I feel like this art piece is the symbol of the park. You can see a lot of magazine; newspaper and even the Olympic Sculpture Park webpage use this picture as the front image. Therefore, I desired to go to the park everyday after class and walk around there and try to make myself like this art piece. I sat around the art piece and looked at it for about 15 minute everytime when I was there. I believe that one way to like something is to bond with it and also to accept it. Now I still don’t like the design of it because it is still doesn’t look like a eagle perched atop a hill and spreading its wings and ready to fly off over the Puget Sound in search of salmon. However, I like the way it gives me a good shade from the sun when I read or sit around there.
