Text Notes
Due: August 26th

Jessica Stockholder- Not everybody can relate to these pieces of work. She stated that her piece is in remembrance of her mother who loved theatre. This most likely speaks to people who understand how it feels to be on a theatrical setting. It shows them how to react with the objects around them. This piece is a really good example of play because the audience can actually interact or "play" with the set. They can go through the little tunnels and find joy in messing with the Lego like features. Humans find joy in the little things. She even said that most people like feeling like they are on stage, and that is right where she wanted them to feel.

Arturo Herrera- Most people are not interested in this kind of artwork. They think that just because it does not look like anything, it can not be anything important, but I think that his audience would be the people who find joy in problem solving. They sit and wonder and try to figure out what his pictures are all about. Obviously if it was a photograph of a dog, we all know it is just a dog, but the shapes and images he makes is unknown and a lot of people find joy in this kind of problem solving. He can really communicate to other artist that art does not have to be perfect. He creates beautiful pieces out of his mistakes sometimes. He sits around with many different pieces of shaped paper, and plays around with his artwork. He sits and tries to figure out what works and what does not. Just like when we put together Lego pieces. We knew what pieces we wanted to be together and which ones we did not.
