class on 3/10

today we got the magazines and one of the magazines i got was the "sculpture" magazine. i really like this magazine because its what i do. i love to make things physical things that people can touch and interact with. its funny because i have had a passion from drawing since i was in like 4 grade and the first time i took a 3-d class i didnt like it all. i'm not sure if i just got bored of drawing because there is only so much you could do with it, but now i would much rather do sculpture than draw. i like it because i can use new materials and make things as big or as small as i want. i can put these things anywhere i want to. these are just some reasons i like sculpture over drawing. i also like architecture. i hope to do my graduate program in architecture. i love the challenge of solving problems and still being creative and thats what architecture is about. as i was looking through the magazine i saw a sculpture by Sarah Sze called "corner plot" that just seemed to be a pyramid coming out of a sidewalk. after taking a better look, and reading the article, it turned out to be the corner of a building protruding from the sidewalk. the awesome thing is that its a sculpture that is above and below streetlevel. it is as if the building has been "swallowed" by the sidewalk. as you look inside the window, you see that someone was living there. there was light fixtures, a clock, book shelves, vitamins, and so on. the placement is what got me thinking. it is placed where Central Parks landscape and the surrounding urban grid intersect. in class we have been talking alot about time and art. this made me think of how times have changed from the landscape being that of a park, natural and open, to an urban scape of buildings. the significance to me is how the sidewalk is swallowing this building and we are going bakc to the starting point of a natural landscape.
