Welcome to Sculpture One Coffee Club

Welcome to mikewindy's Sculpture One class blog. Each class we'll be brewing up a hot pot of coffee and all of my former students are welcome to stop by and have free coffee as long as I'm teaching here at Flagler hence the name of the blog. I'll be posting assignments, due dates, suggestions, etc on the blog.

p.s. Bring your own cup and leave it if you like.

  3. I also agree it was a bit hard to follow in the beginning, however, It is an interesting read once I started understanding what was going on. I really liked how the author talked about the myths of Picasso, Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol and how they affected modern art. I also liked when he mentioned that mythologizing is now sometimes a part of what a Modern artist does-whether it be having an "act" like Gilbert and George, or a "story" like Beuys. Perhaps I'll have my own story...hmmm...

    This Line made me think:
    "Meaning itself is only a part of art. We object to there not being any but when there is some it's often not all that interest."

    The signature plate by Jeff Koons really bothers me for some reason, but I actually find the dirty mattress, aka Au naturel to be really intriguing and beautiful, funny and just weird. And I love that Sarah Lucas name her sculpture of a packet of kippers and two melons in a string bag- Bitch. ha
