Collections

In today's society, people go through life in such a hurridly way that no one stops to, to be cliche, "smell the roses". There are prominent colors all around us everyday, but people, including myself, don't take the time to notice. In art class right now, we are modeling artist Portia Munson, building a class collection of blue items, as seen here:

Our class collection says quite a bit of who we are, collectively, as people in this world. We, as teenagers, are a mixture of personalities, with the collection modeling this. It has multiple random items, perfume, gum boxes, nail polish, paint, a football, even a globe. It shows how many of us grabbed the first blue things in sight (such as myself), but it also shows how many seemingly very different things can be arranged in a way that looks beautiful. This collection also shows the times we live in. The very random things are all relics from our homes, from cartoon characters to hats, to pillows and some beads. We are a generation that likes to collect random things such as these.

Here is some of Portia Munson's work, Looking much like ours :D
