Nerman Museum Visit

Recently the graphic design people of 6th-7th hour went on a filed trip of the most epic proportions!!

 There were lots of cool things around the JCCC campus.  One I would like to highlight is the stand where YOU become the statue.  I was the demonstration for the whole class and got several photos taken.  The first (upper left) I was simply standing there with my backpack and trustee walking stick. Another (upper right)  was me with my adventurous pose and the third is the same photo in landscape mode.  These photos are currently my profile pictures for various social media networks.

Once we got the museum I was forcibly separated from my bag and walking stick.  But after that whole ordeal, we started roaming throughout the parts of the museum.  I came across this photo shown below.  This photo shows wreckage from the tornado that hit in Missouri however long ago.  This photo really spoke to me because I know a lot of people that were affected by that tornado so this photo did bring back some bad feelings and memories.  Reminiscing  this photo did everything art is supposed to do.  It evoked emotion and had nostalgia with it. Phenomenal piece.

  Also while roaming I came across this piece of artwork.  When seeing this one, I instantly was reminded of graffiti, which we have been researching in class recently.  This has lots of the element of graffiti.  It has lots of random bright colors and doesn't necessarily have a meaning that is understandable by everyone but it is generally enjoyable for everyone that sees it.

This little photo is of Kyle Todd waving at me through the arms of the "some/one" statue.

Last little tid-bit I would like to add, it this photo of me under the Mortimer light art.  This project is particularly cool due to the fact that it is motion sensors that detect whenever someone is standing in front of it.  this is cool because it makes the viewer seem to have the key to unlocking the full potential of the art, and by stepping in front the art accepts that the viewer is permitted and turns on for that person standing there giving them the power to control the art.  very cool.
