I saw this on my way to pick my girls up from school. This is in the St Luke school's parking lot in Whitestone.  After all the ice and  snow  melted the most of the parking lot looked like this. It was upsetting at first, but then I saw a meaning to it.

Not what the colors in this would be labeled as. Black gray and white aren't primamry, Secondary, or  tertiary. Not sure if that means they aren't considered colors then. The texture of this, as you could guess was rough and course, but soft when you step on it. Though the shapes are similar, there is no pattern here. The value of this is dark. The form of this is 3D (picture is 2D, obviously). I'm a little stumped on the shape of this. I would say it is geometric, because asphalt is created by name, not nature. But the shape or artwork  of this was created by nature, which I would say it would  it's organic.... still a little confused how that works. The positive space is the shape the asphalt took after it cracked, and the negative is the dark in between the shapes as well as the ground surrounding  it. The lines of this goes in all directions, but doesn't indicate that it is moving.  

Like i said before, when i first saw this it was upsetting to see the parking lot destroyed as it is. But then i thouht about it. What are they going to do? Well, they are going to fix it, easy enough. Then I thought about it. This winter was horrible, and for a moment didn't seem like it was going to end. But it did end, eventually, and because of this destruction a new parking lot will be built. Hopefully better than the last. So to me, this accidental art represents hope. That no matter how intense the storm is,  it will end, and you can start over.
