The field trip to the galleries in Boston was a really fun and educational experience. It was really interesting to see the different styles of the artists, and what type of work that the galleries were displaying.
My Favorite pieces were the paintings that were very textured from using layers of oil paints. The colors and the way the paint was used made it look like it was an over used palate. other favorite pieces were the photographs of very detailed dioramas. They had the look of abandonment, one of a laundromat and the other inside a huge building. The only aspects that gave the pieces away as being a diorama was the fact that some objects inside it were disproportionate to the proper scale, meaning it was not an actual place but made specifically for the art piece. the pieces were fascinating, with mini shopping carts, chairs, plants, washing machines and more.
I really enjoy looking at art, I like to see what other artists are doing besides myself. I especially like to see what gallery owners like, and what they place in their galleries. I think that more art classes should be taken to Boston, part of an artists education should come from viewing galleries outside their school galleries and student work.
Overall, all the galleries were impressive (and even the vintage shop, which I couldn't resist walking in first, sorry) and I am very happy that we went.
