Art show

I saw a lot of new, interesting things when I went to the Residual Reality Art Show. The different pictures and artwork were interesting and cool to look at, but the artist’s backgrounds that were discussed in the auditorium the next day helped me understand their perspectives better. Each Artist mentioned their struggles that came with the art that was displayed. I didn’t realize how much work was put into this art until the meeting with each artist. Each person has influences in their artwork, and in this case the major influence was Robert Heinecken. He helped the people to get through their struggles by giving them advise.

Min Kim Park spoke about her struggles specifically with her artwork and how she had second thoughts about whether or not art was her thing. After looking at her superhero themed artwork, I think that it’s good that she stuck to being an artist because her artwork was interesting to look at. She spoke about Joyce Neimanas telling her to take a risk with her artwork and it’s easy to see that she was risky but creative with her artwork.
