Interperating Art

Keith haring is well known for his comic like characters he creates. For my home work, i chose to write about one of my favorite pieces by him.

Observations:
Puzzle like, falling down with confusion. You can't see any true end, it reminds me of find waldo.
Like many of his works this piece is colorless, and like ALL of his other art works it has no shading any where on it. (style choice)
All in the form of simple shapes, contained within a circle.
Confusion, its hard to see what is what in the picture. includes random shapes, that make it harder to see the true shape of the objects in the picture.
The "people " are running in a circle on the inside of the circle.



Inferences:
Mixed and jumbled beyond recognition, complexity mixed with simplicity. (the simplicity of the colors, and the objects on their own, vs. the way they mixed together)
Blends together in a way that sometimes you cannot tell one line from the next.
The people inside the picture seem to not be connected, it is like they are in their own little world that is different then the one of the person next to them.
The dotted lines appear to be roads of a sort.

Interperatation:
The outer circle in my opinion is earths outline, in other words I think that this picture represents the earth.
The people represent people from aoll over the world; their busy lives, and whats indide their crazy minds.
How they can be so close to one another and not know that the other one exists.
I think that the random lines in this picture, represents what s going on in their lives, and whats going on in their heads.
This picture is showing their fears, their likes, and their hates; all in the form of a flat two dimensional colorless picture.
