All Kinds of Art

Today's post is going to be primarily visual.

It shows art from MassMoCa, a very unique museum in North Adams, Massachusetts.

This is the website of MassMoCa.  Check it out!

It's where you can find lots of information, videos, etc. telling all about the artists, history of the place and so forth.


I just reveled in taking photographs of the amazing things seen on a  visit there this past summer. 

It's a place unlike any other I've ever visited, having previously housed an industry, Sprague Electric Company.

Enjoy!

 Even the hallway to the theater, shown below, is eye-catching, don't you think?

 These dishes are unique, too:

 

WHAT KIND OF ART DO YOU ENJOY MOST? (For myself, I prefer folk art, Grandma Moses style, as well as florals, such as roses, as well as brightly colored scenes, like gardens and sunrooms!  I'm usually not abstract oriented at all but I still enjoy looking at all kinds of art.)

Indian Heads Make Unique Art for Metamorphosis Monday at the Blog, Between Naps on the Porch

Once, while traveling in Mexico, my husband and I visited the ancient Del Sol Pyramid and ruins in Teotihuacan.

There were steep concrete stairs and an altar where human lives were once sacrificed. The whole atmosphere gave me a kind of creepy feeling.

Coming away from the ruins, groups of little neighborhood boys ran up to us, trying to sell things.  When one opened his hand and displayed miniature  heads with distinct faces,  possibly representing gods, I couldn't resist.  They were small enough that they wouldn't be difficult to pack and they would be a good remembrance of the day.

Upon returning home,  I wasn't sure how to display the small souvenirs of the visit to the pyramid ruins. Luckily, some wooden framed  coasters came in handy.  With a little glue, I attached the heads to the coasters and voila!, instant art.

Today's post is an artistic metamorphosis!

DO YOU LOOK FOR SOUVENIRS WHEN YOU TRAVEL?
