ART 21

SEASON 1. Maya Lin-sculpturist-architect. The park and the skate rink.
SEASON 2. Kara Walker-painter-illusions. scenery and illusions.
SEASON 3. Cai Guo Qiuang-gun powder-drawings.
SEASON 4. Laurie Simmons-uses photography  with objects.

As I was watching the videos I noticed the many styles Artists have. The names mentioned above are some of my favorites, but there was one that caught my attention and it was the asian guy Cai Gua jiuan. It was interesting the way he works on his pieces, he first draw and then arrange gun powder around or in the drawing accordingly  and burns it up, so that when it burns gives it a different finish. He  also uses color gun powder.

Art INSTITUTE REFLECTION,

Of all the field trips that we have made over these last couple months the Art institute was my favorite.  It was interesting to see the actual works that  we have seen in the book, but there were a few pieces that caught my attention and it was the painting that pak  ho and I had to expose. It was The death of a poet, but  the interesting part about it is the way the artist created art based on a personal experience .The art institute was really something else, i loved all the collections. I don't know about you guys, but I really started to think that if it wasn't for this class, I wouldn't ever visit the places that we have visited over the last couple months.   :)
