100th Monkey Studio
http://www.the100thmonkeystudio.com/3352/3301.html
This studio has an open studio which is: "An open studio is a studio or work room that is open to all, where artistic or creative work can be viewed and created collaboratively" It says they have materials there you can use for free, but i could not find what the admission cost is.
This place would be nice to go to because it sounds like you can just show up, and paint or draw or do whatever you want for free.
Seattle Art Museum

The seattle art museum is doing an exhibition on Pablo Picasso which would be very interesting to go to. I don't know why anyone would not want to go to this.
We can get a group price of $14 a person
Portland Art Museum
http://portlandartmuseum.org/
from oct. 2-jan. 9 they are showing an exhibition on Lee Kelly. Lee does all kinds of art it sounds like, paintings, drawings, and sculptures.
Admission is free for 17 and under, but if we go to the exhibit we have to buy tickets but..on the fourth friday of every month, the portland art museum has a free day. So we could probably see the exhibit for free.

Art21
Bruce Nauman is kind of a confusing artist. One of his projects was building a big uneven staircase, where the meaning of it was not be be used, but to figure out what they could be used for. He also filmed mice in his very messy art studio.
Kerry James Marshall discovered that he wanted to be an artists in the first grade. He was inspired by a scrapbook of greeting cards, magazine clippings, and random photos that his teacher had created. Since then he has been creating art like greeting cards and paintings. He liked making greetings cards for his family, and in his paintings there was usually always a black figure.
Maya Lin is an artist, and an architect. In the movie they showed a project she was working on where she was redoing a park for a town. One thing in the park was an ice rink. She made this ice rink special though by putting lights underneath it to represent a starry night sky.
Louise Bourgeis is an old lady who enjoyed dealing with hands in her artwork. She made sculptures of her hands by putting them in plaster, and then transferring the plater molds into a nice black stone sculpture of her hands. I thought this was an odd type of artwork for an old lady to do.
I think that not all people view my personality or identity the same. Everyone has different perspectives or thoughts about who I am, but in the end, i'm just one single person with one identity and personality. I don't know how i would incorporate that into my next self portrait, but i would probably not just draw it, but add some other materials on it so it was kind of a collage-ish type of thing.

Marla Movie Questions
What makes something art?
I think that Marla's paintings are art, regardless of whether her dad helped her painting or not. Art critiques and professionals could pick out so many insights and ground-breaking things in Marla's paintings and say she's a genius, but i think that when Marla was painting she wasn't trying to please the world or art critiques. She was just painting because it pleased her, and made her happy. So thats why I think Marla's paintings were art.
I don't think that there's any right answer, or wrong answer to this question. But I think that it really depends on who's looking at the art to categorize it as art or not. Like I might be looking at a sculpture and say its not art, but some other art fanatic could look at it and say its a masterpiece. So I think that whether somethings is defined as art or not, is really in the eyes of who's looking at it.
Do you think Marla's paintings are Art? Why or why not?
