The Barron Arts Center was built in 1877 and serves a purpose of establishing incredible art for the residents all across our Woodbridge Township and Central New Jersey. The center does not only serve for art but it is a monument for poets, readers, and craftsmen. Beginning from March 26, 2016, and running up until April 12th, the Barron Arts Center dedicated its museum to the high school students of Woodbridge Township, starting from 11am to 4pm during the weekdays and 2-4pm on the weekends.
Located at the Barron Arts Center, John F. Kennedy’s Saad salahuddin’s “Rorschach” painting is presented in a showcase.
When it comes to art people treat it like they treat books. People personally think that art sometimes make no sense and that it is just a simple decoration on the wall, but like books, you can’t judge it by its cover. Of course you might say there’s nothing more than just a cover when it comes to art; but a picture can speak a thousand words, and after the show, I can personally understand what most artist were trying to say. When it comes to choosing a book, you have to choose something that intrigues you, something that catches your eye. Art is much like that. If you find a piece of art with a bunch of lines you might draw a conclusion that all art has lines and therefore they are boring, but they actually aren’t.
I personally like that all the paintings belonged to our township and the students of our high schools. I thought the art was painted with a lot of texture and most artist really went in depth and showed their skills which is something that I will always admire because not a lot of people have these skills. I think these students and their painting should be given a chance of attention because even though you might not like everything you will find something you like that makes you think, and that is the best part of art.
Located at the Barron Arts Center, Woodbridge High school’s Paulina Simmon’s “Pugilist Issues” painting is presented in a showcase.
Saad Salahuddin, a junior from JFK, painted “Rorschach,” which is portrayed as a man frustrated and struggling. The specific textures and the way he painted the man can really make you almost relate yourself to the man. A Woodbridge High School Junior, Paulina Simmon, painted “Pugilist Issues.” Which looks like a man being punched by a boxing glove. This painted really stood out because coming from someone who has boxed and above all plays sports, you can relate to the habit of wanting to never stop playing the sport and always wanting to be better.
The Barron Arts Center may look very deceiving and old outside but it is a very beautiful building that stands for what it is, art. It is worth taking a look for even a few minutes or so, because you will not be disappointed.
