Cultural Opp. #2 (Art)

Today Dec. 8, 2009, I had the pleasure of going to the Art Gallery in the room down the hall from the English 110 room. I was a little iffy at first on what to think of the art gallery because I really am not that into art. But, this experience may have changed it all. I consider myself a very outgoing person and in this certain art exhibit there was some very outgoing art I must say. One of the works I looked at was kind of crazy but good. It was called “Ouch” let me paint a picture for you of what it looked like. It had a toaster on the top that had flames coming out of it and then it looked as if it was going to be dropped down a huge staircase. Now I found this very funny and amusing because what does a toaster have to do with a staircase. I have no idea! Another painting that I was kind of confused on and didn’t know what to think of it was called “Car”. Ok, yes it did have a car in it at the bottom of the painting but at the top there were 2 about half naked people. Now I guarantee any other person that looks at this is going to have the same look on their face as I did. CONFUSED!!! A lot of the paintings actually would probably put that confused look on your face. That is because the titles kind of had something to do with the painting but not really. So, with all that said I think that I will take another adventure sometime back to that Art Gallery because I think there is usually some very cool stuff in there. Earlier this semester I recall there was a sweet pile of rocks in there and I had always wanted to check it out and I finally did. Another fun thing that I probably would suggest if someone were to go to the art gallery would be to make sure you take a friend or someone with you so you can talk about the works. Instead of just thinking to yourself because art is supposed to be fun and not boring.
