week 6 art
1. Here is an installation I found ready-made outside a MARTA station in Atlanta this weekend. Why did someone leave one shoe and a pair of jeans? I almost hate to think..... For some reason the image won't load in the proper orientation. The trashcan really was upright.



2. Went to the Picasso to Warhol exhibit and got inspired to try my own drip painting. Was limited in color palette by the house paints we had that were not dried up. I didn't realize the patience required and made a mistake by pouring big blobs of paint on to start rather than strictly sticking with drips, which I think would have been better. I wasnot as free as Jackson Pollock to fling paint, not wanting it all over my basement, nor did I have all of the tools I might have liked. May try this again some time in a freer environment. It may not be my medium of choice but it does have a vertain appeal.
 below is a detail of an area of particular energy.
