Is it Legos or is a sneaker or is it both?
This week, we have looked at artists who get inspiration from lots of different sources and have lots of different types of process for their creative works and who push the boundaries of their art and even combine genres. When is food art and is it the color, the taste, the shape, the presentation, the landscape it comes from, or some combination of elements that makes it art? When is a jacket also pants and a skirt a gender-neutral item of clothing? When is writing a dance or a recipe or a poem, or is it the combination of styles that makes it a poem no matter how you experience it: reading or hearing or seeing. The Lego sneaker is a type of poetic art to me because it reminds me of our first Lego creations and Jack's collection of object and our David Byrne-inspired lighting landscapes using Legos. I feel like this class makes me look at the world through a different lens, and I am look at everything by how it relates to things we are talking about and doing in class. Is this sneaker art? Is it a poem? I think it is because it inspires me to think about the possibility of what you could create from Legos and how the combination of colors and textures would make me feel like skipping if I were wearing these.
