Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
When I took my trip to the sculpture park, I instantly noticed a certain sculpture that stood out on how awful I thought it was. This was Bunyon's Chess by Mark di Suvero. I kept an open mind though, while walking through the park, just in case I found something more terrible. But, as I expected, this sculpture was the worst of the worst. Even after reading his explanation on why he would suspend large logs, it still made no sense. I saw it from every angle, and even went back when it was sunnier outside, and yet, no matter how I view it, it was the eye sore sitting on top of the park. I researched more about him and his work. All this did for me, was to realize that he was a sculpture who clearly saw his work differently than I. His work just looks like a bunch of metal all welded together. BUT, the other piece he does have in the sculpture park was a lot better than Bunyon's Chess, but still strange. While looking at his other work, I noticed that this one piece looked so much different than all of his other pieces. He also seemed to enjoy "manly" tools. I can respect him for trying to be different and also for being able to get his work into the sculpture park though.

Self-Assessment
I'm really glad that this class was on the curriculum. It really taught me how to plan things out, and that shooting for your goals is extremely important. I think what really made the class even better, was of course Steve. His way of teaching, and his way of thinking was really great. He gave us freedom to think and be creative, which is what I think the Art Institute should always allow us to a full extent. The final project made me feel really good, and gave me a strong feeling of accomplishment. I feel more prepared for my studies now because this class has reminded me again to think outside the box all the time, and critically. I liked how this class was really based on group thoughts, and getting everyone's opinion on whatever the topic of discussion was. Overall, I really enjoyed this class!
