Couple o' Questions

Daaahhh. I'm wondering if all we should post in this blog is stuff pertaining to the Curator business... If it really is a blog where we can share what's going on with ourselves, work or play or otherwise, I wanna share my latest endeavor in drawing:

Clicky-clicky. This is what my stuff looks like, colored. 8D Inspired by Lady Gaga's song, Just Dance.

Anyway, I checked the calendar and am wondering about the Thanksgiving Recess mentioned next week. On Wednesday it says we have class - are we or are we not going to show up on Wednesday and the days after? Most likely no, right I need to get my sleep on?

All YAWs will accompany Jaime to the youth event at the Contemporary Jewish Museum. Remember that while you're there, we want you to have fun, but we also want to be looking at the exhibitions with your curator eyes. See you then!!!

Election Night Party! OBAMA!

The Freedom of Art: Election Night Party was a great event. The house was so crowded that there was a line around the corner of people trying to get in until about 9:30pm. Rosa and Khristine were great at the art scrawl table. I want to thank them for their efforts. A blogger for the SF Weekly took a picture of the art scrawl wall and captured one of the drawings that Khristine made. Once again YAAWers are making the news. Here's the link that somewhat describes the wild night of art and performance.

So we drove to Tiburon to visit Artist Michael. It was amazing! He did an art piece that day. I really liked how he mixed exercise and art to make this amazing piece of art. I never thought you could mix art with exercise. It was fun!

Field Trip!

I put this picture up cause I like visuals! It feels really boring when I post stuff without some kind of visual.

Anyways, the artist visit in Tiburon was very interesting. I really liked Michaels artwork because it was much different from anything I've seen in a long time. 

It's so interesting how he said that the idea of the wall sit and creating the circle around him came to him as a way to mix exercise with art. 

I have sort of mixed feelings if he should be in our show or not because he explained that what he does is an endurance but the goal he's trying to get to is that he's trying to test his limits.

While the artwork we've been looking at is really about how people endure what they have (like what they were born with or must deal with) to continue their life.
