Field trip number 2!! I never have the chance/time in my hectic schedule to visit museums so I love that we are taking the time out to do so. Most of the time I feel that I am so lost with what is going on in the contemporary art world. Malena keeps stressing the importance of our knowledge of surrounding artists and their work, I need to start picking up more magazines!! I had never been to the mint museum before and somehow I thought that I would be a little more impressed, I don't really know what I was expecting though. I wonder why the lady really only concentrated on the fiber pieces, and she seemed to keep wanting to cut Malena off which kind of bothered me even though she was a cute old lady. She mentioned learning to felt at the end which i think could be an interesting technique to learn.
