My Answers:
1: Describe the last time you visited an art gallery or museum? Last week we went to lunch in Old Town Alexandria, then wandered through the Torpedo Factory Arts Center.
2: There are many different creative medias, what do you most enjoy? Painting and photography. Maybe because I dabble. Most sculpture I really don't understand.
3: In looking at art, are you looking for meaning, or simply pleasure? For me it is pleasure. There is a big debate if art is simply a way of telling a story to an unread mass.
4: When was the last time you took an art class? In the early 1990s, I am well past due.
5: What is your creative media? I am passionate about photography, and over the last year started to believe that some of what I do is worth sharing. I smear paint on canvas, I don't know if it is paining, but I find it relaxing and I enjoy it. I will warn you that if you come to visit and like one of my paintings, you may find it in the backseat of your car when you leave, in the words of Spo, I have heaps.

ReplyDelete2: There are many different creative medias, what do you most enjoy? Good, original painting.

DeleteI found it very helpful.
Delete1: Describe the last time you visited an art gallery or museum? We just took friends visiting from California to the Camden Archives, the history of Camden [the oldest inland city in the state] and then though local galleries in town.
ReplyDelete2: There are many different creative medias, what do you most enjoy? I kind of like it all because each media invokes a different response.
3: In looking at art, are you looking for meaning, or simply pleasure? Both.
4: When was the last time you took an art class? It's been a minute.
5: What is your creative media? Drawing, mostly. Pen and ink, pencil.
Drawing, I never knew that.
Delete1: Describe the last time you visited an art gallery or museum? I'm out of the habit, but probably about two years ago on a visit to San Diego. Years ago, when I had an apartment in the grid, I had a series of galleries that I would visit on Saturday as I walked downtown to pick up the mail. Now the Crocker is close by, but the City Fathers and Mothers have gotten greedy about parking.
ReplyDelete2: There are many different creative medias, what do you most enjoy? Graphic arts, theater, music, and dance.
3: In looking at art, are you looking for meaning, or simply pleasure? Both and also technique - for example: look at the edges in a Wayne Thiebaud painting what you will see if you look closely is not a line, as you might see in Max Beckman painting, but a mingling of colors that form a line that is enlivened and also forms a texture on the surface. Subtle and sneaky that Thiebaud and don't get me started on William Wiley and the hidden messages and puns.
4: When was the last time you took an art class? It's been a while, probably over 30 years (gulp!) - where does the time go?
5: What is your creative media? This has changed over the years. Right now it is limited to cooking. In the past there were forays into drawing and printmaking. I'm so old, I refer to them as Eagle 314s (IYKYK).

I realized this morning that I was using a paint brush, that I have owned for over 50 years.
Delete1. A couple weeks ago, my son took me to an art exhibit at our local community college. It was about Japanese art and the exhibit was titled, "Hokusai and Ukiyo-e: The Floating World". It was fabulous.
ReplyDelete2. I don't think I have a favorite.
3. Pleasure
4. ?
5. Right now I am doing a lot of cross stitch work but I don't know if you consider that creative media - more like a crafting.
Cross stitch is a fine needle or textile art. I had a law student intern who had a masters degree in textile art.
Delete1: Describe the last time you visited an art gallery or museum? Over Labor day weekend. And the following Tuesday I took in some artist trading cards that my granddaughter did up and I.
ReplyDelete2: There are many different creative medias, what do you most enjoy? All of them. Knitting doesn't interest me much.
3: In looking at art, are you looking for meaning, or simply pleasure? Mainly meaning.
4: When was the last time you took an art class? I go to some community art groups, we create together. I sure would call them classes.
5: What is your creative media? Multi Media.
1: Describe the last time you visited an art gallery or museum? Probably the Phoenix Art Museum 10 or more years ago.
ReplyDelete2: There are many different creative medias, what do you most enjoy? Impressionist painting. I used to like music but my poor hearing prevents me from enjoying it these days.
3: In looking at art, are you looking for meaning, or simply pleasure? Oh, simply pleasure. I'm too dense to get meaning.
4: When was the last time you took an art class? I don't think I ever did.
5: What is your creative media? Probably writing, or more honestly "blogging".
