Why Do I Like What I Like?
Untitled, 2004-2007 Concrete, bronze, and steel with porcelain enamel Roy McMakin American, born 1956 5x5x3 ft. bench, with other elements demensions varialble

Gift of the artist and Michael Jacobs, in honorof the 75th Anniversary of the Seattle Art Museum, 2006.32

I didtn't consider that art. It just looked like a concrete bench to me. Nothing special about it. I researched McMakin; his main interest was finiture art. He would do things like make a dresser all white, with one brown door. Or a table and chairs alll black, then trough in two white chairs. His work is kinda odd, but interesting. It made me like the artist a little more. I still think that it is still just a cement bench. I will have to go look at it again. Then maybe I will have a different perspective on it.

Self-Assessment
My project was repainting my Chevey truck, because the paint was pealing off the hood and sides. I din't paint the whole truck. I painted the hood and sides, and blended it into the paint that was already there. I also put some silver stipes on the hood. I thought that it plenned in good and even looks better then just the blue by itself. I screwed up a little on the clear coat. I think that I just didn't wait longenough before I started to wet sand. So, it has a couple of spots that look like it is sun faded. Since I didn't paint the whole truck, I think that worked out for the better. It was a learning experience it I try to pain another vihicle of mine again. I am always buying and trading vehicles, so I am sure that I will repaint anotherone again sometime soon.
