Museum visit 2

 

While visiting this time at the museum, there was a lot going on their. They were moving a lot of the exhibits around and I happen to be a day early to a very interesting exhibit I saw the workers putting together. Only the upstairs was open at the time, but I did happen to see this exhibit which was called Looking at Tomorrow. This exhibit had a lot to do with different life adventures and day by day artwork from some of the artists.

 

In this space the lighting was more bright than the rest of the museum that I experienced. The walls were all very bright too with mostly white paint. A lot of the work I saw was paints and photography. There was also colored pencils and even just random objects involved. As I walked the museum, there was a lot of space. Honestly not much to look at and a lot of room to move around. I think the day I went was a very bad day to experience but with my work schedule and school it was very hard for me to even go when I did. Either way, there was still a lot of interesting pieces to look at. It was wide open and I felt very little walking around.

There were a few different artists in this are. Each had their own room which was really interesting and cool to me. I liked moving from room to room to see how similar and different the rooms were. Some artists had their art actually on the wall. Not in frames but straight on the wall. Some artists were different though and had picture frames of their art on the walls. The lighting really helped while looking through some of the photography. Each work of art has a an information sign next to it and I read a lot that had interesting stories, with the artists reasoning on the artwork and the title and date of the created artwork. It is good to know the facts that is put on those signs.

 

 This artwork was used with red black and yellow pencil. He is well known for his lines in his work of art. There is definitely line in this specific artwork. I think this artwork would take a long time and patience. It is right on the wall at the museum and uses color and balance too. It's hard to interpret what this means or what the idea was, but I think the artist wanted more with it. I think originally he wanted to continue and create something else but finished it with satisfaction before doing so.  I think coloring in the squares would be interesting to do with this artwork.

This artwork was interesting to me. It looks like a very young child did this artwork. I think it is showing the tree falling and collapsing into a different image. There were a few artworks like this. Each drawing is the tree falling more and more and the blue one seems to look like the tree turned into a bird. The green really stands out against the white. It shows emphasis.

This artwork was most interesting to me. It showed each day that the artist traveled on the mountainous rage in Scotland. I wish it was in color to see the actual landscape better but it was interesting reading and looking at. These pictures showed the mountain everyday. Different views of each day. I think it looks like a hard mountain to climb especially with the snow involved. There was great value in these pictures.

 

 

For this project I really enjoyed going back to the museum. I wish I could have seen an actual exhibit that they seemed to be setting up for. I think I came on a bad day. I did not get to see or experience much while I was there. From what I did see, it was interesting. Even seeing some things they were setting up were cool. I think seeing this exhibit in person and experiencing the space it is in was interesting. Walking into these separate rooms with different artists was my favorite part. The theme of looking at things Day by Day was so relevant to me. I loved that the artists in this was showing day by day artwork and the difference one day can make.
