This past Saturday my mom and I went to see Posters of Paris at the Dallas Museum of Art. No photographs were allowed at the exhibit so I don't have any pictures of the posters, but I have pictures of the posters that my mom and I created at the art activity the museum was having. So, here is my mom's poster:
And mine:
It was really fun to do these and I am so glad that we took the time to make them. The exhibit was very good - I loved seeing all the different posters (over 100) and learning about the history of the poster art form. I highly recommend this exhibit if you are in the area.
I got 2 postcards that are posters from the exhibit:
I also took some photos of pieces in the modern art area:
 |
| Franz Kline |
 |
| Jackson Pollock |
 |
| A Rug with a Rorschach image - had to get this b/c it combined art & psychology |
And I made an art journal page about our trip:
You can see from this page that we went to get gourmet ice cream from the food truck Coolhaus after the museum. Here we are in the 48 degree weather, standing outside, eating ice cream:
It was a great day. I had a lot of fun.
One last thing - I have decided to start a new blog! This blog began as a cooking blog, thus the name Ravenous Rae. It has evolved over the years and is no longer just about cooking. I think it is more appropriate to where I am now and where I am going in life to start a new blog. The blog name is "Rachel Mims, Artist, Art Therapist in Training" and can be located at http://rachelmims.blogspot.com/ Please join me tomorrow, January 1st, 2013 at this new blog address.
I hope you enjoyed the recap! Thanks for stopping by and I hope to "see" you tomorrow at my new blog!!
