Today we listened to Victoria explain her journey through the two worlds of art and science. I was so intrigued about the path she took and the work she does. I would love to explore art in the way that she does! I especially liked the way she incorporated other cultures into her artwork such as using the Mandala in one of her exhibits.
Art has become a greater part of the program as the week has progressed. We went to Getty Museum this weekend and explored many of the beautiful museums exhibits.
One of my favorites was the photography of 
. Ifelt
her art was really unique and innovative. One of my favorites pieced of hers was a display of different types of decadent desserts. The vivid colors and imagery caught my eye in this picture, which was composed in the mid 1970’s. I really enjoyed the art of another artist, Paul Outerbridge. The composition and themes in his photos were very interesting as well as debatable. I was surprised to find that these photos were digitals – at first I thought they were just paintings.
We also explored the creation of sculptures made in 1800s. The amount of steps and amount of time it takes to create a piece of bronze work was really amazing.
