Jewelry Project 3 Research ! ! !

BP Helios House ! ! !

Check Gas Station Out ! ! !

Check Out this green Gas Station.
I was watching Ovation TV's Art and the City and they were talking about Art in Las Angeles and this was one gas station that was more Art and Eco-Green friendly then any other Gas station. The world's only Green Gas station everything that is except for the Gas but a good move in the right Direction.

Darcie Alexander Lecture and Student Show ! ! !

Today was the Darcie Alexander's lecture and Student Show here at Towson. The lecture was informative. I like how she explained how she enjoyes artist's that cross over mediums in art, that people more and more cross mediums. I did not realize that in the 70's artists wanted to get away from the studio and wanted to work outside. I think it would be fun to work outside, hey it would be healthier, we would not breath so much fumes in the open air. One thing though did puzzle me... Presentation... somebody... I think she was a professor here at Towson... Asked Darcie Alexander to explain Presentation and to my surprise she said that presentation was not important... WOW... I though that presentation means alot.... yes it does not over power good or bad work but I thought it meant allot... imagine being asked to get married and the person of your dreams presents you with a Ziploc bag with a diamond ring in it... Would you say yes to that? ... I would say where did you find that, in the streets? ... now imagine same thing but he/she presents a ring in a beautiful velvet box ... Now how could you say no to that?

The student show was great. I really enjoyed it. It was wonderful to see work I recognized. I could actually say I KNOW THAT ARTIST, I saw them making that and I know how to do that. To my surprise my favorite pieces were actually the black and white photographs.

I do agree with Liz's comment that doing another show of rejected pieces takes away from the Artist's that got in the Show. Darcie said that we have to get used to rejection. There was no way that everything submitted could be taken. Though I was not in the Show or applied for it, if I were in the show, I would have felt cheated out that rejected pieces got displayed that would have taken my Honor away.
