Final - Question 1 Placing

Art Walk

The dA

On the 30th of January I had the opportunity to visit several galleries at Pomona's Art Walk. I was surprised with the amounts of people walking in and out of galleries discussing what they thought was interesting. I would have to say that the "hot" gallery was the dA. There were so many people it was difficult to walk through the entrance. People were not only enjoying the music and wine;; they were taking the times to see each and every piece of art. The current theme was "New Traditionalist" which was very refreshing. I was expecting to see traditional oil and watercolor paintings.

When I walked into the dA I immediately fell in love with the painting "Chutes and Ladders" by Athena Hahn because it reminded me that art is can be appreciated by all ages.

Here are a few examples from the dA Gallery. I beleive it proves that there are no general criteria for art. Every piece has its own value to each person. I would love to give the artist names and titles, however I could not find the second half of my notes.

Bunny Gunner Art Gallery

Exhibition Muse Cruise

Drawing by Brent Harada & Rusty Jordan

Like most of the work in the Bunny Gunner Art Gallery this untitled piece was done by ink. This type of exhibition was new to me and I could see that not too many people were going into the gallery, maybe because from the outside it looked like boring black and white drawings. I tried to concentrate on one drawing and take a look at each design with in the drawing and was entertained for quite a while.

Pomona Frame House

In my opinion this piece was the best. It was done with layers upon layers of what looked like watercolors. It is very colorful and has a glowing touch; I could see it on a stained glass window of a church I don't know the name for this technique but I could see why everyone in the Pomona Frame House would observe it more than any other work.

Gallery Follow Up

The OBJCT Gallery was certainly among the most visited galleries at the Art Walk so I deiced to revisit and take a closer look.

Duck Table

Greg Lynn

This piece, along with others, is made of unwanted toys and other items. I would consider this "hot" because it demonstrated creativity and environmental issues.

The objects that make up this exhibition displays how the artist can design new art by reusing materials. Hopefully this theme will influence upcoming artists.

Swans

Lisa Segal

"Swans" is primarily made of paper mache and was inspried by nature and animals. This work is more abstract, at least in my eyes, than the other art in the gallery. I enjoyed this piece because as I was analyzing it, I could see the two swans in love.

Domestic Bliss

Kimberly McKinnis

This silver and glass piece reminded me of housewives who is trying to please everyone yet fails.
