Daily Class notes
The video was very interesting. The way the artist uses media that was found in nature and nothing else. Even when he wanted to connect two objects together, he did not use an already-made cohesive substance like glue. I was amazed at how his artwork work so well with nature. I also admire his perseverance in making his artwork-( he repeated the stone piece four times). I wanted to know one thing when I was watching the video is how does he come up with these unique patterns and shapes? I also noticed that most of the work we saw in the video had that nest-like pattern, including the image that I posted here. I loved this piece. It almost looks like its hanging in the air. It reminds me of a spider's web only this one is man made.
Artists like Andy Goldsworthy use media from nature to make an artwork fit in with the environment, but Dale Chihuly is a different story.
One of my favorite artists who placed a lot of his work (glass blown) outside is Dale Chihuly. I love how his artwork fit in with the environment even though the media that is used is not from nature. Here are some of his work. Also, we saw one of his chandeliers in the entrance of the mint museum.
