I don't know about you, but I am enjoying the different artwork that people are posting! I believe the style of art someone gravitates towards tells allot about a person. I am looking forward to our next excursion! I was looking up art videos on youtube about different styles and genreas of art, and stimbled on this video. This video kind of runs hand in hand with the question we have been answering...."What is Art?" This video can be controversal to many people. I just thought it was very interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tncwN7Hdyeg
This guy literally uses his own body as a canvas, sometimes even using his own blood!
So, question is, do you think this is art? I do! Take a look at his video, he is good!
I also found a few more videos that depict "weird" Art. Take a look. Food art;

The tour was great, it s always great seeing new pieces of art! My eyes have definately been opened to the art world! I am definately enjoying this course! I wasnt a huge fan of Jackie Felix's work, although I can appretiate the work! Boy did she go through some pain in her life, it is very evident from her very angry paintings and brush strokes! Painting is not only something you can see, but it is something you can feel. Your emotions can come through a simple brush, or a can of paint, a pencil, or even a piece of crumpled paper. It is a good way and escape to release emotions! I hope everyone enjoyed the tour as much as I did, I am looking forward to more excursions in the comming weeks, as I cannot believe we are 1/4 way through the semester!

Herb And Dorthy Follow up.
Class today, with Herb and Dorthy was very interesting. It was an interesting perspective on the life of those two. One thing I thought to be very funny was that they went to the ends of the earth, so to speak to collect art, even babysitting a cat! The video, was very good insight into their lives. I thought it was too funny, after donating all the work, instead of buying furnature, to live comfortably, what did they buy? You Guessed it... MORE ARTWORK! I do not think you could change Dorthy, and especially God forbid Herb into anything but the way he has been living his life up to this point, to change. Wow! What a contribuition to the art world. Another interesting fact about those two, is not only was it a major contribution to society, they did not want an money for it!
COLLECTION #1
As I stated in my earlier posts, one of my favorite artists is M. Scott. He is famous for his landscape paintings, as well as other acrylic paintings. I acctually stumbled on M. Scott Hammond, whose artwork is full in color and vibrant figures! That is going to be my first post for the courselong project.
M. Scott Hammond earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from Brigham Young University, in Utah. He was a 2008 graduate He is trained in realism, or real life drawings. Along side his paintings, he has completed several murals, or very large scale paintings. M. Scott has worked as an illustrator for several publishers.

Figurative Artwork is defined as usally paintings or sculptures that represents real life people. He is also a Freelance artist. Here is the picture I loved:

As we begin discussing in class:
• What is a collection? To me, a collection is anything you have multiples of, something you cherish, and desire more of, in some cases.
• What should you collect? You can collect anything that you have interest in, from a button to gold. That would be your personal preference what you choose to collect. Herb and Dorthy collected everythng, the only requirement was that it fit in their Apt, and they could get it home. Not much to ask.
• Where can you get art?You can get art from many many sources. The first place you can get art is by making it yourself. Nothing is better than making it yourself, something you can cherish, or even make a profit fom down the road. Another was of getting artwork is by buying it, going to local festivals and such. Artists sell their work at galleries as well. Herb and Dorthy even went to the extent of "babysitting" an artist's cat, in exchange for a piece of their artwork! How Funny! Talk about dedication to the love of artwork! How do you collect it? By purchasing, or like stated above by trading sevices, not commonly known such as pet sitting. Here is a link on collecting art.

Herb and Dorthy
Herb and Dorthy. Now there is Passion at its finest, when it comes to collecting artwork. I found a few other clips on them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qT-qxUqs44. This link just basically says how they afforded the artwork, Dorthy basically paid the bills and Heb bought the artwork. They had no one style they collected, the only one thing they required was that it fit in they're apt.
Herb and Dorthy would also sell the work for pennies on the dollar, they went into some dangerous areas to get his artwork. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULO5JcuJY24
Herb and Dorthy even went to the extent to watch someones cat, in exchange for a piece of artwork. What a love for Art! They were very close with the artists. They even wanted some unfinished art. Seems like artists looked up to them for advice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpdM_Fj5Cms
The 1st piece they bought as a couple; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ8GO5qHmE4&feature=related .
Herb and Dorthy are the perfect example of people that will go to any extent to collect artwork. I am looking forward to discussing this further in class!

1st Excursion Post
I checked out The Artist's before I went to the gallery, so I was familiar with them. It was a great experience and quite a difference seeing them in person. My faorite artist of the three, however still remain the same from when I viewed the artist's on the website. I Loved the art of Megan Greene. To me, the art was very detailed, more so than the others. I specifically like the use of the one main bold color, as the point of entry. I felt like her use of that one main color, was her focal point to draw the Viewer in.
Balint Zsako, What an interesting artist. I found that he too used a lot of color. I prefer, personally the flowing kind of Art, like Megan Greene. His work, to me seems a bit more morbib, in one sence, on the other hard, he appears to have an appretiation for the human body, though in my opinion expressed strangly at times. He is truely a unique artist.
Esther Neisen, another unique artist. But What artist isn't unique? To be Esther Neisen used a lot of intriquite detail in her work. How hard do you think if was for her to create all those Tiny details in her work. I can appretiate her art, it must have been difficult.
Ultimately, this was a positive experience for me, getting to know the different styles of artwork is very interesting, and rewarding. I am looking forward to more exploration through the art world.
