Projects to date

I have really enjoyed all of the projects in this class. They have broken me out of my comfort zone and pushed my definition of art. I am so excited about all the work that I have done. I am excited for the last 2 projects! Here are my old ones:

FLASH MOB!

I liked the flash mob experience very much. I think it is powerful to share art in a way that brightens peoples day in an unexpected way. I could tell that all the people that experienced our flash mobs enjoyed the experience and  had a story to tell someone that day. I thought that our gun fight one was the most successful. I could tell a lot of people liked the playful spontaneity of it. It was so fun! I talked to my room mate in gauchocafe afterwards and she said that she was stoked to have seen a flash mob, she had always wanted to see one. I didn't know that so many people knew what flash mobs are. A few of my friends actually asked me if they could join in on our flash mobs. I liked playing duck-duck goose and I could tell that we were getting a lot of attention from bikers for that. it was really fun and I think activities like that could bring our section closer together, It was really cool. I thought our other flash mobs could have been more successful maybe next time now that we have a feel for the dynamics of how each scene works. I would love to do another flash mob. I love performing. I thought it was really fun.
Even Tyra Banks has done a flash mob to encourage natural beauty....even though she insists on having a different weave every week?? Oh well This flash mob is still kinda cool.

Freeform

More and more artists are getting their favorite works tattooed on their bodies. It is amazing that the artists are able to replicate the works so well. It is amazing. The tattoos are as beautiful and the well done ones look like the art almost perfectly. I think that this is an amazing form of admiration of art for a very hardcore fan and tattoo lover.

This website:
has many examples of this new trend and they are so well done they are definitely worth seeing. I would be interested to see actually how widespread this trend is. I would love to photograph a database of people who love a piece of art enough to put it on their body and what the work means to them. I personally couldn't see putting any tattoo on myself but I think it is a really awesome art form. I would be down to become a tattoo artist, it seems like a really interesting profession where you get to learn a lot about peoples experiences and you are working with a one of a kind media every time. I think the magic of that is really interesting.
