On my, oh my, oh my, I am almost late posting the Sunday five. I can't let that happen, I must tap into the creative powers and put out. Creative powers, hence art, hence this weeks sunday five.
1: What art(s) do your practice (secretly or publicly?)
2: I have a board meeting in Nashville the end of the month, the team building exercise is recording a song live on the stage at the Ryman Auditorium. Are you comfortable singing in public?
3: The image above is by Andy Warhol, was he a great artist or a great marketer?
4: As a child did you follow the rules and color inside the lines and use the correct colors?
5: Is there a piece of art that you created, on display or use in your home?
My answers:
1: What art(s) do your practice (secretly or publicly?) Photography and painting. I want to do jewelry making again.
2: I have a board meeting in Nashville the end of the month, the board team building exercise is recording a song live on the stage at the Ryman Auditorium. Are you comfortable singing in public? This will stretch me way outside of my comfort zone, I think it is meant to do that.
3: The image above is by Andy Warhol, was he a great artist or a great marketer? He did some neat work, but I think he is overrated.
4: As a child did you follow the rules and color inside the lines and use the correct colors? I stayed inside the lines, but had my own sense of color.
5: Is there a piece of art that you created, on display or use in your home? Paintings, photographs, two silver boxes and a metal inlay piece I made at University.
1: knitting
ReplyDelete2: not really. if I am around close friends who care about me, I will. it also helps if I am under the influence of wine.
3: both, I think
4: sometimes
5: I WEAR my art!
1. I practice the art of wishing I could knit, crochet, paint or do macaroni art. No talent whatsoever.
ReplyDelete2. Not comfortable at all. I did get a little tipsy on our Alaskan cruise and my sister put my name in (unbeknownst to me) to sing a song with the band and lady singer. I should've left but my sister was having too much of a ball. I really wasn't drunk enough, but I did it. My brother-in-law has video proof that Son of a Preacher Man never sounded so bad!
3. Art is in the eye of the beholder, and it, like wine, is just a matter of taste.
4. Nope.
Ooops. #5. Nope
Delete1. I dabble in a great many things but don't have the discipline to practise any of them enough to become truly proficient. For example, calligraphy.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, I am comfortable singing in public.
3. Sometimes, especially in our consumer society, being a great artist and a great marketer is one and the same thing. Warhol captured that perfectly.
4. I always coloured inside the lines and used the right colours. I was a good girl, I was.
5. Generally speaking, no -- although right now, I'm using a pair of pillow slips on my bed that I hand-embroidered 50 years ago as a child in 4-H. Kittens and flowers, if you must know.
1: What art(s) do your practice (secretly or publicly?) Writing. I doodle and wish I did more sketching/drawing/sculpture.
ReplyDelete2: I have a board meeting in Nashville the end of the month, the team building exercise is recording a song live on the stage at the Ryman Auditorium. Are you comfortable singing in public? I never have, but I would find it fun to do as part of your team building exercise.
3: The image above is by Andy Warhol, was he a great artist or a great marketer? He was creative and a trend-setter but, for me at least, more a great marketer than a great artist.
4: As a child did you follow the rules and color inside the lines and use the correct colors? I hated coloring books, because I felt obligated to color inside the lines.
5: Is there a piece of art that you created, on display or use in your home? Etchings and drawings of mine hang on our walls. Just a few, though, and more than 30 years old.
1: drawing and writing
ReplyDelete2: avoid board meetings. trust me.
3: both
4: yes I was a good boy who did as told
5: several
