Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you.
 * Best! Stevenarntson

ART WALK

Questions:


 * What was the least “public” piece of art you saw today, and why?

The Whale Carving by Pat M. Vay 1998 It' a beautiful piece of art but the way it was presented, It is not in a pedestal to make the look special. I understand the ethos it was trying to give to public as the sand potraying a role like the water on the sea, it seemed it is been weathered and do not have a wood protectant? I saw alot of scratches on the sculpture. I am worried to think 10 yrs from now that if they do not have it in some kind of pedestal to be up the ground and treat the wood it might not last and be gone by then.


 * Did you see anything you would not define as art? Why?

I couldn't think of anything that I saw and could define as 'not art'. I think everything has it's beauty and meaning in its own way. Even the stones that is in the Garden of remembrance, and the number cut out for Pier 66, everything adds beauty and has a place of its own purpose.


 * What was something interesting you saw that was not officially on the tour?

I saw the metal sculpture of Christopher Columbus in waterfront by the ferry area that is not on the list.It's interesting how the artist expressed the sculpture. I was dissapointed that I noticed they took out the sculpture that is in Harbor steps, there use to be a huge bicycle sculpture and metal shape like a gift box, and more but I guessed those all sold out!
