I don't get art: Part 2

This is another section of the West Museum that was a little bit different than the other parts and the East Museum which is a lot different than the West.

Guess what? Its another Greek piece of art! Surprising I know!

This man's art work took up a big section of the second part of the West Museum . Apparently, I was not suppose to take this picture but I didn't know at the time. Most of this guy's work I didn't enjoy it was kind of like this picture. The only reason I took this picture is because it is taken in Detroit. There were a couple others that were Detroit ones too. The pictures I really liked involved this one lady he photographed, some were of her naked with her back to the camera or brushing her hair. 

I'm pretty sure that this figure was in a night at the museum 2!  There were a lot of  different figures that had to do with dancing and there were plenty of this exact figure too

Another Greek story. 

More Greek! Oh how I enjoy it

From his blue period.....ya I can understand  why they call  it that

It was awesome that I actually was able to see a Picasso painting :)

This is the start of the East Museum and you can really tell the difference between the two of them.

An interesting piece that was colorful, it seems to me like it is either about slavery or \saving people 

THIS IS WHY I DON'T GET ART! This  piece of work is literally a white canvas with a blue line painted on the outside! Why? How? is this art?

The artist titled this as a carp but i think it looks like a sideways owl. Either way its big and colorful

I have an attachment to Jackson Pollock art work. In my high school art class we painted cupboards duplicating or creating artwork. Well I am not artist or creative so I picked Pollock. I found he art very interesting and loved the abstract nature of it. Although i do not understand all of it I do enjoy his work. I am hoping to get back into that art room and get a picture of my work one day. 

This piece is hanging freely and moves

This is made from paper not painted. 

The artist said that he could no longer paint (i'm thinking it was a mental thing) so he started cutting paper and started this huge trend. I don't get how he couldn't paint but could use scissors. 

The famous Warhol art work. There was a lot of this through out this museum and the next one. 

This piece was actually hanging on the wall, this view looks like its an aerial view but its not. I do enjoy it though.


Look for the last set of museum pictures :)

Starting my last week here

Down to five days left here and I was all by myself. Chelsea had to fly home friday and missed our last football game and I was a lone all weekend. Luckily one of the guys and his brother who were in town saved my weekend. I hung out with them Friday night and then he took me to the caf with them Saturday afternoon. His brother and I stayed in the caff with some of the other guys and watched MSU kick some butt. Then I went back to my dorm to shower and nap before we went to applebee's. Well that adventure to applebee's didn't really work out as planned. First we walked to the metro which wasn't too bad with 3 guys. Then we took a long metro ride because part of the redline was out of service. Once we got off the metro we couldnt figure out where we were going so we started walking. Well we had to turn around because the walk got us no where, so we jumped back on the metro and went Ihop. 

Sunday I decided to go walk around the mall and the capital building to see the museum that I haven't seen yet. 

Capital building 

A walk through one of the parks, you can't even see  the homeless guys behind the bushes

Pretty

One of the many ponds

I have no idea what was going on

The west art museum 

The topper of the fountain

I will warn you that many of the pictures and statues have to do with Greek gods. My mom use to read her greek college textbooks to me when I was younger and to this day I love all greek mythology. 

WARNING: LOTS OF NUDITY

 Venus is the goddess of beauty, also known as Aphrodite

Also known as Hermes

This picture was very haunting to me

Hehe thats my name

I really enjoyed this picture

This one reminds me of a picture my Aunt June painted that my ma has

A pretty cool painting technique if you look close.
