Alysha, Alex, a friend who is not in an art class, and I all attended the 200 pieces of Lincoln Art exhibit. We thought it would be a cool experience to see our pieces of artwork hanging in an exhibit and also to see the ideas others have come up with to represent Lincoln.
Although I was bummed that my piece of art was not hanging up here, I did see some other peices that I enjoyed.
My favorite Lincoln Piece was a lamp that i found in the back corner of the exhibit. I was very interesting because it was not hung on the wall but instead could be displayed as a piece of art and a piece of furniture for a room. I liked their use of different pictures to not only see Lincoln in one way but instead in many ways.
My least favorite Lincoln Piece was a poster of a collage of naked men with lincoln's head simply cut out and pasted over them. I thought it was tasteless and would love to talk to the creator and ask them why they did this. The craft of this piece wasn't even good it was childlike, and childish and I really did not like the way they portrayed this American icon.
