Hey there, fellow DC art enthusiasts! Summer time is a great opportunity to check out art in all its various forms from sculptures, to architecture, to sidewalk art, found objects, and natural landforms. There is no end in sight and so many ways to not only experience it but to also get involved! Check out the artful adventures I discovered this summer. Have you had any fun summer art opportunities? If not there is still time!!!
Can you identify the different kinds of art above? Bonus if you can can guess where they're from or have seen them in person!
Land Art: uses the natural landscape to create site-specific structures, art forms, and sculptures.
Functional Art: art objects that serve a purpose such as buildings, furniture, and even books; it DOES something.
Non-Functional Art: used to describe art objects that serve no purpose, except to bring beauty into the world and to inspire creative thought.
Installation Art: used to describe large-scale, mixed-media constructions, often designed for a specific place or for a temporary period of time.
Found Art: uses objects, products, or materials that are not normal art making materials to created modified works of art.
Street Art: visual art created in public locations outside of the context of traditional art venues.
Exhibit Design: is the process of developing a exhibit from a concept through to a physical, three-dimensional exhibition to display materials.
