Here is some of the awesome artsy stuff I saw during my week-long stay in San Diego:
By Leonardo DaVinci. We went to the DaVinci exhibit at the Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park. They had a bunch of models of his inventions set up for the main exhibit, but I was more attracted to the series of sketchbook drawings put up in one of the corners.
Awesome. Seen at Spanish Village Art Center in Balboa Park. I forgot the artist's name. It was something Russian-sounding. I'm so bad about writing things down... Sorry artist, your work is excellent!
This is a not-so-excellent photo of the small hot shop area that was set up at Spanish Village Art Center. No one was using it because the lady who ran it was ill the day we visited (go figure), but it's used to give introductory glassblowing lessons.
And here are a few corners of one of the galleries in Spanish Village. (Spanish Village Art Center is pretty sizeable. There are tons of little galleries to check out, and multiple artists per gallery.)
This piece was one of the ones that particularly struck me. I used to work mostly in 2 dimensional mediums, and this was a nice example of drawing in something that is normally a 3-d medium. I just appreciated it. Yeah, glass powder!
And here is a glass that I gave my brother for Christmas one year that I drank out of while I was there. That was nice. I love that I can give people functional things like bowls and glasses that I made myself
and can actually be used on a daily basis, or at least frequently.
