Art Gallery

I was very interested in all the different pieces of art this large rectangular shaped room had to offer.  It was a different experience i am normally used to, I'm not one who is crazy for art but will look at it if it's there.  The first thing that caught my eye was this gigantic sculpture of the the left of the entrance.  I didn't really know what to make of it at first it was this huge torpedo shaped piece of shaved wood around twenty feet long.  It was sitting on a huge set of wheels resting at about a 45 degree angle.  Bolted on the side of the wood at about the center of it was a big crank handle thing.  At the tail end of the piece of the wood there was a metal hook with a long leather belt about forty or more feet long looping around to connect bake to the metal hook forming a circle behind the object.
Another piece of art that was cool was this pop up book with all the pages spread out all on the table standing straight up.  Every page had a very unique set of pop out stair sets all intertwining into each other making many flights all up the page.  There was also a very creative quilt with all sorts of colors.  It was oddly made in the shape of an octagon but instead of having straight sides it had like half circles and 90 degree angles until it winded into the shape of an octagon.  It was colored with brown for a border and blue, black, green patches all around.  To the right of the quilt was three medium sized pictures of different parts of the quilt giving you a closer look.
Overall the experience of seeing all these different pieces and seeing how all these different people look at art and express it in their work was cool.

  1. Cool.. this is really descriptive. I didn't really get a chance to look carefully at the big torpedo thing.. look cool though.
