There's a lot of art in the folk art section of our museum that you wouldn't want around the house! Still, I find a lot of it whimsical and amusing in a museum setting. If you walked past it in the dark at home, it would probably send you through the roof! :) <br /><br />If you'd like to view the museum's folk art collection, here it is: <br /><br /><a href="http://collection.mam.org/search.php?type=collection&search=92" rel="nofollow">http://collection.mam.org/search.php?type=collection&search=92</a>Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-86510074411131973392013-04-30T18:05:24.583-05:002013-04-30T18:05:24.583-05:00The Greeter reminds me of a tin can robot a neighb...The Greeter reminds me of a tin can robot a neighbour made for our son when he was little. It sounds awful to say, but I hated that thing. It got recycled the second our son decided he didn't want it in his room anymore. And now it's considered art - maybe I should have kept it!!

I saw those very plants in other arrangements, and they just looked like plants in an arrangement. It goes to show how creative this one was! <br /><br />I thought you might be interested in the artist, since I read about art so often on your blog. Watching that video definitely made me stop and think. It's amazing how you can see art in one way and then in a totally different way after learning about it. Before searching for information, I thought this was a lighthearted piece! Before, he seemed like a whimsical mannequin in fun, bright clothes.<br /><br />Yeah, I loved the axe. It would be fun to learn more about it.Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-88689209263068366942013-04-29T22:14:20.333-05:002013-04-29T22:14:20.333-05:00"Flowerbot" is so well done!

The metal skeleton parts were such a unique container for the plants. Most of the displays were a lot more traditional. <br /><br />Ha! I wonder what kind of paperwork that would be? Maybe he's balancing his checkbook or something. :) I'd like to find out a little more about this specific sculpture. It appears that the artist bases a lot of his work off of classic pieces of art or historical events. I wonder if this figure was based off of anything we'd recognize?Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-48855052935575536722013-04-24T20:23:13.532-05:002013-04-24T20:23:13.532-05:00"Flowerbot" is awesome!
