Extra Credit

Attend an Art Exhibit and blog about what impressed you...

I attended an art exhibit at Utah State entitled "Please Touch the Art." I thought that this was a really interesting show because everything there was interactive. Usually when I attend an art exhibit I have to restrain myself from touching the pieces but it was encouraged here. I thought that this was good for learning how a piece was made and to be able to interact with materials that I normally don't work with. It helped me to learn about the materials that I don't work with so that I can incorporate them into my work. I also thought that this type of show would be perfect to take younger students to so they can get excited about working with new art materials by interacting with the pieces in the show. This was an awesome show that was also very educational.
