Process Journal

Making the art exhibit was fun.  I was a little overwhelmed with the gravity of the process at first, but like just about everything I've done for this class so far, after I just sat down & jumped into it, I had a lot of fun.  It was time consuming & at times hard to find all the information for a certain piece I wanted to use, but so much fun to search out new artists that I had never been exposed to prior to this project.  It also gave me the opportunity to look more into styles of art I had never had a chance to explore before.  I chose Lowbrow art/Pop-surrealism, because it's such a neat style, & includes all the odd types of art that don't really fit into any of the other "classic" genera's.  Once I got started it was great.  I did run into some problems with certain images I wanted to use, & the artists had blocked their websites from images being copied from them, due to other people profiting from their stuff, which was totally understandable, but put me in the position of having to leave pieces out of my exhibit that I really wanted to include.  But with a lot of searching & some advice on a few good artists from my ex who was an art major, I discovered new artists & had a lot of fun making this exhibit.
