Constructed Head No. 2, Naum Gabo



[initial reaction]
This artwork looks like an ancient Indian, Sergio said. Luis said it reminds him of a transformer, and Ricky said it looks like a bald headed lady, also known as a pelona in Spanish. As of what I think of it, it's huge, silver, and hollow.

Courtney thinks it reminds her of a children's story "Jack and the Beanstalk". Inez thinks it has a chaotic feeling. Vanessa thinks it has a pattern. Brittney thinks it was uninteresting.

Quantum Cloud XX (Tornado), Antony Gormley



[initial reaction]
Human inside. How they made it look like a human. Looks like a shadow, is scrap metal.

[initial reaction]
Do you feel trapped? Surrounded? Do you feel like you're in a war and the only one standing? Well, what do you see when you look at these sculptures? How would you feel if you were a figure with no head?
