#art109

Yay! We finished our project for the final! @judithart and @candicoy

I feel as if art should just be it’s own thing. Most people create art because they want it be seen or they want it for their eyes only. Only artists can decide if they want to sell the art they make or only have it displayed and/or looked upon.

So..I didn’t really understand what was going on when I read some sections of the reading. At first, I felt really uncomfortable with all the gory sounding things in the beginning, and then, I did not understand what was going on after that. 

I didn’t really understand this video. I mean, I understand that a group of people got together to do something to try and help their community, but..moving an inch of sand (mountain), is just the beginning for these people. I feel like they could have done something better. I was not as drawn to this video as others may have been while watching them work under the heat.

Some progress on the final project with @judithart and @candicoy

This is called The Mermaid by Marijke de Goey, The bridge is located in a private park in Auckland, New Zealand. Her work revolved around a wide array of forms including briges, trains, squares, poetry and jewllery. This work is a functional bridge that lays over an artifical lake. The sculpture is consisted of about 22 cubes all 3 x 3 x 3 meters. The walkway sits between the cubes making it a very narrow path giving it a thrilling experience.

3. Was there any real importance to it or did everyone that participated take it as more of a recreational thing?
