Reading Response:
I read this week about the Chinese artist (i dont have my book in front of me so i cant remember his name) that studied Oil Painting but decided to go the untraditional route of art making. At first when i saw some of his art work, i was a little uneasy about it. He wanted to unify the world through something other then language, so he decided to use certain things about the human body that connect us all. In one of his pieces, he had 60 women send him used feminine hygiene products. When first saw the image, i was disturbed but as read, i realized why he did the piece and was not as disturbed by it. I have come to really like art that make you uncomfortable, at least it makes you feel something. I would rather look at art like this man's then something that doesn't pull out any emotional reaction from the viewer.
