ReplyDeleteHi, Glad I was finally able to check out the site
ReplyDeleteHello! :)

ReplyDeleteArt comes in many forms...As the saying goes "DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS". Keeping an open mind and trying to understand what the "artist" is saying or feeling or thinking in itself is an art. This wooden swirling structure is very different but yet I enjoy it so much. How cool would it be to be drunk at night, next to this giant trippy artwork.
ReplyDeleteThe picture above seems crazy to make and put together. I would like to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteI think art that is created with more of a broader meaning to it and is created with materials that are not always considered part of the art world is a more valid type of art. Art that is of this nature is definitely more interesting not only to look at but to also think about and try and figure out the meaning of it. For example the piece we looked at in class of the urinal is probably not something that is considered part of art but the fact that it was so out of the ordinary made it much more interesting and helps you keep an open mind to what the meaning or significance of it may be. Art should be very unique and one of a kind and I think that if you go above and beyond the average artwork that is what makes that piece that much more interesting to study. At the same time I think art that is personal and created with traditional materials is also interesting. Personal art has a way of showing you maybe the insight of the artists life or his feelings or his beliefs. I think both types of art are very interesting though and as long as they are unique and out of the ordinary then it is all good art.

ReplyDeleteI believe art is valid either way depending on the artist or person who is observing the peice. Art is unique and allows us to each have our own opinion without the worry of what others may think of it. After hearing about the story of Damian Hirst and his unique art which he creates has made me see how interesting art which has much broader concepts and is created with abstract materials can be truly amazing. I really am more intrigued by the art which is unique with its materials and broader concepts although I do believe that there is a happy medium between these two typess of art. Art is all around us and allows us to each have our own unique opinion this is why I believe the more valid type of art is nerither. I think they are both interesting and great examples of valid art which surrounds us today!
ReplyDeletewooo hoo i love art class:)
ReplyDeleteArt is so intriguing to me. The ways people create different pieces, or the fantastic ideas they can come up with. I enjoy all types of different art work, and I've never seen anything like this before. It would be an experience to actually watch how this piece is put together in person. I'm curious as to what the X's mean.
ReplyDeleteI am on here!
ReplyDeletefinally figured this out
ReplyDelete=)
ReplyDeleteI find this peice of art, very unique.
ReplyDeleteI see that the above work is a wood sculpture, and looking at it, I do not know how it speaks to me. I can only wonder what was going through the artists mind when they were making this piece. Its intriguing and unique, and seems very intertwining with its overall sculpting.

ReplyDeleteyay art!
ReplyDeleteThis piece is very impressive especially because of its size and shape. It is hard for me to find a meaning behind the piece. I would like to see a picture of the entire thing from somewhat of a distance to make a better assumption of its purpose. I took the woodworking art studio class and that gave me a whole new appreciation for working with wood and pieces like this.

ReplyDeleteThis piece of artwork is extremely creative. Personally I would never think of something like that to create but non the less it is definitly an eye catcher.
ReplyDeleteThis piece of art reminds me of a rollercoaster in the air with all the upside spins :)

ReplyDeleteThe picture above is very interesting. The way the wood is put together guides you through the art as a whole with its leading lines.
ReplyDeleteThe above artwork is very intriguing. Its so different from what I am used to as being considered art. But this piece sparks my interests because it keeps you looking at it. I find myself coming up with many different ideas of what the meaning behind this piece could be. Very interesting work
