ART & THE SCHOOL
LIBRARY
When
we started the library in Noida School we wanted a painting on the wall. We
came up with loads of suggestions finally ending with a work entitled “ You See What You Want To See”
The
effect of this piece of work is like when we look at clouds, where one keeps finding some or the other - new
shapes or forms always. That’s why we titled this painting “You see what you wanted to see”. Interaction with viewer is a very important
element in art, which is central to the painting. Through this work we wanted to connect to all.
This kind of open ended work in the library helps to raise many questions and
remains always an unsolved mystery!
A
Library is a temple of wisdom and this
work contributes to the idea that there are always new things to study and understand for
everybody who visits in the library. The purpose of painting is to invite
people to see it again and again in the library and get drawn into the mystery
of the painting.
The
vibrant primary colour with simplified shapes, dynamic lines, uniformity in
texture, the colours depth appeals and connects everybody. Pablo Picasso’s Cubism has influenced the art
because of its simplification and ambiguity. We admire the power and direct
impact of shapes on the spectator which one can see in Picasso’s works.
