Chat-mobile
Walking around the museum there were a lot of interesting
art pieces. There was an art piece that had actual human teeth, that was pretty
cool. But there was one room that stuck out to me on the second floor. The
artist is called the Alexander Calder, the creator of the colorful and abstract
images and shapes. But there was on image he created called cat mobile that
drew me in. He creates painted sheet metal images and uses steel wire to
connect everything together, so each piece can move in response to it's
environment.
The reason why I really liked this artist
and his artwork was every time you look at the artwork, the image changes. One
person might see one thing, but another person might view it as a different
image. The more time you spend observing Alexander Calder artwork, the images
changed. At first I didn't recognize this pieces was a cat, at first it looked
like a devil or something. After standing there for a couple of minutes it made
sense to me. Art is not just one consistent image; art is whatever you make out
of it.
