Lucy-4/16/09-MAD (Museum of Art and Design)

For my last and final visit I went by myself to the Museum of Art and Design, again. I didn’t work with an artist but I went just to look at the art and to see all the interesting things the artists did. There was things like, carved stacked up phone books, a seat made out of quarters, big pieces made out of combs, and more. I just looked around to see all the art and to think about what they thought of while they were doing it. What I learned about the environment is how all of this stuff could have been thrown away and into the landfills but instead it is being used as art. What surprised me was how much material was used. What was running through my head was things like, “How many quarters did they use?” “Where did they get it?” Everything was a real brainteaser. After seeing all of this stuff, I thought it was a great experience. Meeting Sabrina, working with her, seeing all the art, and everything else. I wasn’t able to take any pictures when I went there but I will show some things from the website that I saw.There was the carved phonebooks: This is the front side of the books but if you were to seethe back, you would see that it was flat with the bindings of the books. Also, there was the seat made out of quarters: The top part of that are all quarters touching eachother to create a chair. One other thing I saw was a piece made out of combs: This piece is made out of flat sided combs. The darker parts of the piece like her hair have all of the parts of the tongs while the lighter parts have some tongs missing.Overall, it was a great experience and i am glad i did it.
