Each month the Dallas
Museum of Art hosts a homeschool
class. They are generally
interactive classes for parents and children.
This month’s class we took a look at the Mark
Bradford exhibit currently on loan in one of the museums galleries.
Today’s class was Art and Community. Bradford is
an artist who uses found items in his work, posters, wrappers, cardboard, duct
tape, etc. One technique he uses takes string glued to the surface and then he
mounts strips of paper in a decoupage fashion over the entire surface of the
piece. The last step is to pull up all
the string leaving grooves in the art work.
It is an interesting craft technique but in my opinion, it’s
not really art. It is very random and it
is not something I would hang up in my home.
But it was an interesting class and fun to see the kid’s reaction to
this style of work.
there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work,
because that is their lot.
For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
