LeQuire

1.     Yes. I was able to talk with Adam LeQuire and I was able to see his workshop. It changes how I look at the work, but at the same time I judged him. He seemed a bit odd and arrogant. I then saw it in his work. When he was talking about what he’s made he had such high esteem for it, not like most artists I meet.

2.     They made me feel old. His painting style seemed so rudimentary. Overall I didn’t see as much skill as I see in other paintings. But at the same time they brought me back to my past. It seemed like when he painted these works he was carefree and happy.

3.     I’m unsure what this question is asking but I didn’t like the set up of the gallery. There were lots of rooms that were twisting and turning. I like bigger open spaces… and seats would be nice. It was also a bit hot, which made the experience less.

4.     My favorite painting was a painting of a pond. I like it because it uses the style of pointillism. I like this style because I know it takes a very long time. I once did a picture in the same style using only oil pastels. I had to eventually cut the paper and make my picture smaller because I was running out of time. The artist does a good job of showing perception using this technique. The background has two horizons of varying height and distance. The distance between them is shown. Overall this picture is beautiful. My favorite sculpture was an American flag made of some sort of metal and then crumbled. There were a few of these hanging around the museum, but I chose the largest one. This one was sitting apart from the other flags and it took up most of the wall it was resting on. This drew my attention because I was born on July 4. It sounds naïve, but, every time I think of America I think of myself.
