The shoes caught my eyes because of the colors. How this piece art got my attention because of the colors. I just love things with bright colors to me. I just liked how he mix and match with different colors and made it all come together. But I also do like converses shoes and that's exactly what these shoes reminded me of when looking at them. I don't have to many memories when it come to converse shoes, but I do have some that comes in mind when I think about a pink pair that I have just like the ones in picture but is the lower top. I would have to say in this artwork are pink ones in the right lower corner, but I also like the ones in top left hand corner. I believe this artwork mean that the shoes was just coming out in that time when he decided to draw this and make them into different colors. I believe he made this artwork so he could probably get them to invest in some more different colors when it came to Converse shoes. One thing I didn't like is how he did the high top ones. But I believe that's all they had back in that time was high top. I'm just glad that they came out with low tops. I believe most of all these colors that he had when he drew this are out in today's time.I know back then they didn't have so many different colors to choice from. But I do love these kind of shoes, they're very good to wear and everything. Andy Warhol had some good artwork when it came down to his artwork. I could tell he was into making them about more bright colors when he redo some of the different pictures that he did. But the shoes he took to a different level when he did all the difffernt colors, and some of the colors was just odd colors that I have never seen before. Also he made the vottom of the shoe very thick that was different when it came down to the shoes. Most sneakers didn’t have the thick bottom back in that time. Then another thing that I liked how he made the

    Imagine pondering into a reconstruction of reality through only the visual sense. Without tasting, smelling, touching, or hearing, it may be hard to find oneself in an alternate universe through a piece of art work, which was the artist’s intended purpose. The eyes serve a much higher purpose than to view an object, the absorptions of electromagnetic waves allows for one to endeavor on a journey and enter a world of no limitation. During the 15th century, specifically the Early Renaissance, Flemish altarpieces swept Europe with their strong attention to details. Works of altarpieces were able to encompass significant details that the audience may typically only pay a cursory glance. The size of altarpieces was its most obvious feat but also its most important. Artists, such as Jan van Eyck, Melchior Broederlam, and Robert Campin, contributed to the vast growth of the Early Renaissance by enhancing visual effects with the use of pious symbols. Jan van Eyck embodied the “rebirth” later labeled as the Renaissance by employing his method of oils at such a level that he was once credited for being the inventor of oil painting. Although van Eyck, Broederlam, and Campin each contributed to the rise of the Early Renaissance, van Eyck’s altarpiece Adoration of the Mystic Lamb epitomized the artworks produced during this time period by vividly incorporating symbols to reconstruct the teachings of Christianity.
