Downtown Arts District Scavenger Hunt.

November 19, 2008

i was taken aback today when i walked into the CDI for class this afternoon.. the moment my classmates and i walked in, Mr. Betz said he was sending us to these two different art galleries downtown.. like, 3 - 4 blocks away from where we originally have class at.

we had to visit the Piedmont Craftsmen art gallery and the Artworks Gallery. he wanted us to choose two pieces, and compare/contrast them.. including the artist name, title of their work, and what media they used.

this is what i chose at the Piedmont Craftsmen:

#1:
Paige Cox
2007/122ANN
Fiber
#2:
Anne Hesse
Garden Party
Mixed Media

this is what i chose at the Artworks Gallery:

#1 & #2:
Loretta Eby & Jeff Jackson
Lightning [right] & Floating Ring [left]
Glass & Steel
the only thing that really caught my attention was how much every piece cost in both galleries. prices ranged from $45 - $2 000. there were some things that seemed extremely simple, but were very expensive. it was re-donk-cu-lous. however, this assignment has given me a better in depth view of how things look and operate downtown, and that the arts district is not too far from my house lolBold
