Today, we attended the Mint Museum of Craft and Design. I found the exhibition really interesting. I myself, am normally not attracted to tapestry art. it is just not my preferred medium. But, I feel that in a lot of ways the artists stretched the limits of the materials. My favorite piece was the almost Art Neuveau type Japanese style piece with the blue circle templates. I loved that piece and it caught my eye as soon as we got off of the elevator. I couldn't wait to move around the exhibit and get to that particular piece. I loved how you could stand in front of it and the blue circles almost looked like mirrors and you couldn't tell if the opaque images you wre looking at were behind youor on the other side of the linen. That, And I love the color blue.
I also found myself not really listening to the museum curator speach about each piece. I would finda connection with the pieces and tune everything else out, like I was the only one in the museum, and this exhibit was here just for my experience. I wandered around without the group, mainly taking my own tour and trying to figure what I felt and what the artist was trying to convey. It was agreat experience in my opnion, class included or not.
