Over the break, take another look at the Alternative Exhibition Format slideshow. Think about which artist's work was the most interesting to you in terms of format. Make a post and talk about what the artist does with format, and why you think it is interesting. In addition talk about what you think the focus of your exploration will be in the weeks when you get back from break. Are you going to play with a specific process? Do you want to experiment with materials? Is there a theme you want to explore?


I thought that hidden relief by Sarah Sze was very interesting.  I think that the format s interesting because it looks chaotic but if the viewer stops and takes the time to look closely at each detail then they can recognize the intricacy of the piece.  After considering the details the viewer is can step back and see the whole piece's beauty as a whole.  This process that Sze makes the viewer go through is that makes it so interesting.  You can;t just look at the piece think a quick thought and be done. You are draw in.  You have to see that is making up this chaos.

When we get back from break i want to start working with different types os paper and make a ton of flowers.  I want tot assemble them in the corner of a room.  The flowers will go from the ceiling to the floor and look as though the flowers are bursting from the seem of the walls.  While doing this I also want to start making jewelry.  I collected a lot of shells over break and i want to make them into jewelry.
