The lecture today was again done by two people, the first whose name was Phillip. He started out by denouncing some theories Mark Shetabi had the week before about there being no progress in painting (I agree with Phillip on this). He also talked about the various different ways of teaching art, and how the Bauhaus exhibition in New York influenced numerous artistic creations and movements. My favorite piece he showed us was a basic chess set which included blocks for the pieces. On top of the blocks were diagonals and shapes which give a clue to how that piece could move. I thought it was very clever and clearly demonstrates the idea that form follows function. The next speaker, Jess, was actually my sculpture teacher at one of Tyler's Pre-College Summer Workshops! She has always had a great enthusiasm for art and she showed that zeal today too. Jess showed us images of art projects that incorporate both the old and new campus of Tyler, such as the cylindrical bulletin board with a microphone on top and a giant megaphone at the wall of the old campus. I enjoyed the image of the marching band at the ribbon cutting ceremony, which included only Tyler students.
