I chose to go to the De Young museum. I had a good time at the museum looking at all the artwork from different periods in time. I especially liked all the glass work at the museum. Some of the pieces were so colorful and amazing to look at. I remember seeing one piece and it was a bunch of fruits made of glass in this bowl and they looked so good and realistic I wanted to pick one up and eat it. I have always liked seeing art made out of glass and I think the art of glass blowing is really cool. I think it would be awesome to learn how to do that. I always like going to museums and looking at things from the past, it kind of gives you a feel for how things were back then or at least what the time period valued.
I S2 glass art. I haven't seen it in person, but the Monetary Bay Aquarium has or at least had art displays of glass art of jellyfishes! & sea creature influences. I got a brochere in the mail & it was soo beautiful..very striking.
ReplyDeleteIt also reminds me of the film w/ Matthew Perry in it called Three to Tango (i think) where the girl (famous actress from 90's) had a job of blowing glass. I would love to go to the DeYOung but it's too far -dad's driving :(...& it's not for free..lol
soo i'm going to the Cantor even though i've been there b4
it would be awesome to learn how to do that
Dear Aditi,
ReplyDeleteI too love glass and hope to learn how to do it sometime. I heard that there is some place in the bay area that you can go to learn. But Im not sure yet where that is. I did see that there is a glass museum and educational center in southern Washington State (north of Portland about 2 hours). I hope to visit there some time this summer. You can register for a 3 hour course where they teach you how to blow glass. It sounds amazing!
I have really enjoyed being in class with you this semester and hope to see you in future classes !
Have a great summer,
Kimberlie
