Maybe its from all of the reading that I've been doing but during this outside visit I felt bad for liking the ornament pieces more than the minimalist industrialized works. I find the craftsmanship in the ornament pieces fascinating and the other pieces just looked like factory work, which most of them were. I understand why art shifted into a minimalist design, Im just a sucker for fancy work I suppose. When I look at art I think to myself "Could I make that?" If the answer is a whopping YES then normally I don't appreciate the artwork as much but if it looks like something that would be nearly impossible for me to do I love it all the more. That is what kept running to my mind during my time walking through Design in the Modern Age.
I know that the part of the outside visit was Visionary Metropolis and that it is something for us to keep in mind for the future and I hope it gets addressed soon because it was a very small section but I have a lot of questions! I think I was expecting more of a Disney feel when they show you all of their visionary ideas of the future in Epcot. So I'm excited to learn more about it. The entire time I was looking at the pieces I just wondered if they were prints, drawing, or anything in between! It was less about the idea and more about the physical work for me.
