week 4 trip (23rd oct friday)

Today we went on a class trip to the ysp centre. when we first got off the bus I looked around and all I saw was a building and a field, when we were told to walk around at first I was puzzled cause I saw next to nothing to walk to other than they one building, after I when in and looked around I found myself near a small staircase leading to a few pieces of art work out side. the more I walk the more I found that there was about a mile or two of ground that had art work randomly placed everywhere I could see. I did not feel that much of the sculptures were very interesting to me personally,

My whole thought about art sculptures is that it does not matter what it is; if someone says that it means something then its good, if someone did the same thing but just did it because they were messing around or what not; it does not even get a second glance. In other wards art sculptures are what you say they are; not what it looks like or feels like or are any good looking to people that don't know why it's there!

I did see a lot of very nice textures that I got lots of pictures of and I found so interesting quotes there too.
"In this century it was not the sculptors who revitalised sculpture - it was the painters. They were outsiders who understood the subject; nevertheless they were not trapped within its imagined regulations."
Anthony caro, 1991 

"To see the world in a grain of sand "

"you cannot simply put something new into a place. you have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see."
Tadao ando

I saw a tree on the ground when I was walking in the forest that had lots of coins in it that were all bended sidewards, I did not understand why and I could not find any writing anywhere near it, maybe it was an art work or maybe it was something else; all I know is that it was different than anything that I have ever seen before.

Overall I did enjoy the trip, I got a few good pictures and I do enjoy a good walk to relax.
