So while I was helping my friend Vanessa look for her advisor's office in Davis Hall, we ran into these different paintings. They came from a place called the Kennedy Center in Bridgeport,CT. The Kennedy Center helps and serves people who have a learning disability. All the paintings were done by people who attend this Kennedy Center and I feel like each painting is unique in its own way.
This picture on the right hand side is called the Watermelon Summer and is one of my favorites. The watermelon is painted like an actual melon and has the correct colors which are green and like a pinkish reddish color. It reminds me of a hot summer day, when all you want is a glass of iced lemonade and eat slices of watermelon. Not only that but it also reminds me of a family picnic with watermelon all over the table. I really like how this picture was a bite of summer.
All the paintings that where in the room had great color and had very nice ideas. What made them even better was that they were made by people who had a learning disability. This goes to show that any one can do anything. You don't have to be perfect to be an artist.
