Based on these three art works, i feel they all tie into each other. The flow of the exhibits relate to each other. "Blossom". A bodhi tree growing up and through a piano, is beautiful. In my opinion it symbolizes how nature and music are one. It reminds me of something play like and whimsical.Another work of art that flows wonderfully is "concrete" the shining light on the martin luther king head gives of the shadow of Obama. I like everything this signifies. as in the past light comes the present and what Dr. King was dreaming of is shining through. In the exhibit “Timothy Greenfield Sanders: The Latino List”, there were a bunch of photographs of successful and well known Latinos and Latinas.The way the photographs are placed by the artist lets you know that, the artist wanted to place empashasis solely on the sucesssful persons.

Man's Best Friend in Art
I have been to the Metropolitian Museum of art many times. So when I was asked to be a curator for a gallery, I could only think of something that majority of people love. Man's Best friend, it is one of the most unselfsish friend a human can have. The Exhibit shows the many ways the animal can be depicted trough art form. The dog is such a loved animal throughout the whole world.The exhibit will showcase paintings, sculptures, jewelry, photography, even a dog shaped utensil.I hope you enjoy Man's best friend in Art.

"My dog the truftieft of his kind"
Chelsea Galleries
Assuming the role of a collector I visited the Chelsea Galleries in search of art work in which I would like to invest my monies in, I visited the Marlborough Gallery
in which the Artist on Display was Rashaad Newsome. His piece displayed was very distasteful to me, it does not represent the hip -hop culture. It simply shows the lifestyle that many rappers portray to the viewing population. I as a collector would not invest my funds into displaying a piece, because it doesnt represent art. Its simply a collage of what people think the rap and hip-hop world is about.
I also visited Yossi Milo Gallery. The artist artwork captured my heart. The art was Untitled # 168 by Simen Johan. It is a rhino sitting in the middle of what looks like a desert. The piece look very vivid to me and the piece looks very clear. The rhino was still and the colors blended in as if it were all one piece. The other artwork I will get is Untitled # 155. It is a huge bird that is in a forest, standing on a tree branch with a frog in its mouth.Although I did not really care for the bird, I really found more interesting the background of the trees and how large they were. They remind me of my mothers habitation back home.

Sculpture Center Reaction"Field Trip 3"
Sanford Biggers: Cosmic Voodoo Circus
The Sculpture Center was a nice getaway in Long Island City. I wasn't expecting to see what I did, when the professor explained what the center would look like I was expecting more of metal artwork. Instead there was this Voodoo like video playing with drums and chanting in the large space it made it seem the speakers were really close to you.The A Joia Orixa was very interesting and seem to match the title of the exhibition and space very well. The statue stood tall and wide, the color was grasping, the music from the video match what the statues look. This piece makes the space seem like it belongs as well as the billboard (Chesire). The Lower level space was my favorite of the exhibtions on show, the smell o it was funny at first but then looking around at the different pieces that were up along with the stories that went with it reminded me of the subway station. The pieces by Rona Yefman: Time Kills, fit in perfectly with the space, it kind of seems like people are jumping out at you talking to you in the subway station like the random homeless people that do come up to you. The artworks from this exhibit all tie into each other perfectly considering the space they are within. I really enjoyed this field trip and if I were ever in the area I would stop by the Sculpture Center again.

Design in our lives reaction, field trip #2
Whats defines art to be high function or low function? Well on my trip to the MoMa at the "Talk to me" exhibit, I was able to see some arts that I would define as high or low function. When I first walked in I really liked the piece that was interactive, alot of people were standing next to it and playing with it. But I didn't choose this as one of my works.
"Cross fire from the series Natural Occurence" really caught my eye for a piece that can be defined low function. Because silverware does nothing on its on and can be lived without. In the Stone Ages people ate with their hands. I consider this piece low function because one its not really needed, we can live without it and we have to provide mobility to it.
Another piece I considered low functioning is the "Menstruation Machine" it is not practical. Women have been dealing with menstruation for years I have seen many different sanitary napkins and cups to contain the blood flow, but never something of this sort. I couldn't imagine this being comfortable or sanitary. Also, men do not menstruate so what would be the purpose of them using this?
Now to the good stuff! The "JetBlue Interface" and "Metrocard Vending Machine" both of these I would consider high functioning. I consider them high function because they are practical and can be used for everyday use. They are both self service which allow for faster service to the consumer. One is used in the airport and the other is used in subway terminal.
