Stereoscope, by William Kentridge, was my favorite piece in the exhibition. I really enjoyed the animation. The drawings in the animation were very good. There was so much stuff going on in the pictures. It was really unique and unusual. I think that the music he picked in the background was excellent. It was both relaxing and intense. There were many ups and downs. One second stuff was blowing up and the music was really loud, and the next everything was calm and all you could hear was a very soft piano playing. This piece made me think of very weird things. Stuff that I would never normally think of. Kentridge used lots of lines in his drawings for this piece. I liked it, because the drawings weren't really neat and clean. They were sort of messy, but they still looked really good. Kentridge found excellent ways to incorporate color into the piece. He used color in very interesting ways. This piece stuck out in my mind more so than any other piece in the entire exhibition.
