Feldman's Model
This creation is very dark and gloomy. It is in a dark brown frame. It looks like it is a paper cut out of a castle or a palace. It seems to be cut out of a very pale, pink, fragile paper. There is a boarder around the palace that seems as though it might be felt or some scruffy material. It makes the scene look like it is very cold and dark outside. Behind this palace lie many trees which look very realistic. The palace seems as if it is all alone in the dark woods.
There are many different pieces to this creation. It seems to be almost perfectly symmetrical. Nothing seems out of place or out of the ordinary. It is very organized and definitely thought through. Everything seemed to be put where it is for a reason. I am not quite sure what the reason is.
I believe that this may be something that Cornell had seen before. It is so detailed that I think I would be real. I could be wrong, it could be a place he just made up or maybe he even dreamt it. I see is as an old private school, far away from civilization. It seems to be a cold wintery place where no one wants to be. It is somewhere that I would not want to be.
I personaly am not a huge fan or the art work. To me it is way too dull. If it were something that I would find appealing it would need a lot of color and a lot of fun bright things. This seems to dark and too lonely for me. It also seems very cold and I do not like the cold. If it were a warm sunset type of art I would be fonder of it.

Ekstasis
Confused and unsure of what I am looking at. I take a few minutes to observe what this large creation might be. I stood under this large, unknown object and wondered where it had come from. The creation that stood in front of me was made of many different things, which made it even harder to figure out what it might be.
Staring down at the ground, confused and unaware, I stare at these large metal wheels. The wheels were shaped like old wagon wheels, except they were not wooden. The wheels were very thick and flat around the outside. There were only two wheels, which just lead me to be more confused on how this creation works. Looking up from the wheels I came across a large chain. The chain was very similar to a chain on a bicycle. Thicker in size, the chain ran from the spokes of the wheels, all the way to the top of this large wooden masterpiece. I had never seen anything like it, it was huge. I looked up and it seemed to be like a large wooden missile, with wheels. What could this possibly be? As I examined this large wooden shape, I noticed there was a large handle. This handle was just there, it didn’t move anything. The handle was connected to the side of the “wooden missile.” It was thick green steel that lead up to a huge, red, wooden handle. The handle looked like it was pulled off a vice, but much larger. The handle did not do anything. It did not move. I thought I had seen it all, but I was wrong. At the back of this creation there was an extremely large belt-type object attached to it. It was the exact same material as the belt that I was wearing, but it was much larger in size and did not connect like a belt. It wasn’t even tied together; it was just attached to the back of this “thing.”
A million thoughts were running through my mind. Why is this here? Is it broken? Am I missing something? Where did this come from? Still none of my questions were answered. I stood there for minutes in awe, lost and confused. I don’t think there is an answer to what this may be, and I don’t think I will ever know what it was that I saw that day.
