Before the class started I spent sometime in Spain and visited Salvador Dali's museum at his home in Figures. I didn't take any pictures of myself in the pictures but I hope the poor quality of my photo taking capability is proof enough that this did happen.
This last piece seems like a trumpet like hammer with a face on it being held by an angelic being preparing to strike something that I didn't get the full picture of. I think this relates to class, by the beauty of both nature and the unknown coming together. Most people would say they don't know what angels look like, but there is a common thread of what we create them as. As well this picture is so weird, but inspiring, and I felt the class fit that mold as well. There were major moments when things were very weird, but reshaped my thoughts of thinking what can be art, and what is art currently. I think Salvador Dali does a great job of continuing that thought process.
I was thinking about which Event I went to that I wanted to use for my third event blog. I chose Dali because of how much he has inspired me to rethink things, as well as his amazing approach to execute these mathematical designs onto the canvas.
This first piece of him painting someone, probably God, painting the sunrise and sunset is so pleasing. Nature in general is so beautiful. The colors the sky makes before the sun rises and falls is always fresh and inspiring. I think that says a lot about the hopes of an artist. The Earth is a continuing inspiration, that can we as artists recreate something that inspires in the same way?
