Contemporary Sculpture Assignment Brady Lawlor

The first video I watched was about Brian Jungen in which he was making two-sided prints of newspaper clippings that offensively depicted native Americans and promoted western society. I found this video interesting because of how simple but genius his idea is and how it has such a profound message behind such an everyday item. The second video I watched was about Do Ho Suh and how he covered his entire apartment in paper and rubbed colored pencils over it all. I liked his work a lot because of how unreal his bodies of work are and I like the concept behind the color and rubbing of the pencil showing love for his space. Another video I watched was about David Brooks and how his perspective on ancient art has changed the way he lives his life. I really enjoyed how he tied his skateboarding into his interest in art and how it led him to make art of his own. His piece Preserved Forest is a group of trees he planted inside and covered in concrete. The way that the trees continue to grow through the concrete was really amazing to me and I really liked the way he viewed his pieces.
