Without are what would we have. Art in one of the cornerstones for all thing great. No matter what form of art you choose whether it be painting, abstract, words, music, anything and everything can be turned into art. Art is in the eye of the beholder, is something that I constantly have to reassure myself of sometimes. Especially with modern art, Viewing what I saw inside the museum brought me to challenge what I thought of as art, and got me to change my views, and that to me is a finite definition on humanities.

What did you choose?
I choose the SFMOMA, because I have never been there and I thought it would be interesting to see something out of the norm.

What do you see or hear or feel or think of in the choice you made?
I heard a lot of people conversing and trying to find meaning, I smelt canvas, and various other smells of construction materials whether they be paint, glue, or tar. I think that the choice was interesting, and I learned a lot.

What is the subject of the work?
Modern, Abstract, and an eclectic array of different forms of “Artwork”

What is your choice about?
My choice represents the different between what is considered art, and what is art. Anything can be art, but in society only some things are called art.

What led you to your choice?
Honestly, curiosity, and a general yearning to know more about modern art.

What do you think or feel about this choice?
I feel that everyone should test their limits and take the plunge into the SFMOMA, it was extremely eye opening to see all the differences in what was considered art; From a single piece of duct tape strewn on a blank canvas, to a beautiful painting that must have taken months.

Why do you feel this way?
Because I have spent quite a while examining the art, and these are the conclusions that I have drawn.

What else would you like to know about this choice?
I would like to know what inspired a lot of the artists. Drugs? Love? Boredom?

While reading blogs, I stumbled across Granville R Morris’s blog,.
( http://arsenal-clockendgooner.blogspot.com ) and read his assignment 2A all about Fort Ross, and I astonished at the stories, and all the history that is held there. I would one day LOVE to visit Fort Ross.
