the Jacob fan club

Well time goes fast these days. Jacob and I are still on the hunt for elevators. Friday we went to King Hall. We actually passed by the elevator several times before realizing it. It's pretty inconspicuous. lol We went up to the second floor hopped down the stairs all the way to the basement then took the elevator back up to first. We then walked through the art gallery for up and coming artists. The paintings didn't seem to be much different then the one Jacob had in his bookbag that he had done and was bringing home to his parents. I asked Jacob what he thought of one of the paintings. He thaought it looked like a turtle on it's belly. On closer inspection of one particular piece of art you could see toes and if you followed the line it went down to a head. I thought maybe they hung it upside down or maybe it is an unborn baby. Isn't art something?

You should see the art displayed at Fort Hays State University whenever the city of Hays has a gallery walk. Prehistoric man produced better art than what I have seen there. If I were on the Board of Regents and saw a typical FHSU art exhibit, I would be embarrassed for the college. I like modern art, if it is done well. Why not focus on drawing basic shapes correctly before moving on to more complicated concepts? I am not a good artist, but I appreciate good art when I see it.
