FIELD TRIP!!! These always scream fun, or at least nice because you get out of class work.. :) We went to the McColl Center downtown which I have always been very curious about because I was confused about whether it was a church, a school, or something else to do with art. The people working there were really nice and we saw some interesting pieces. The one I remember the most was the fibers piece where the woman dealt with female issues of the past and referenced to the story "The Yellow Wallpaper". I don't know how many times I have had to read that story since about 9th grade, so I know the story all to well and was able to relate in a sense to the point that the artist was trying to get across..had i not known the story, i probably would not really have understood the piece, I just would have commented on her use of textures and techniques.
