Whitney Museum of American Art

Today I went to my very first experience in a NYC Art Museum. It was rather interesting.
I was a chaperon for my son's art class, and I got to be with the 7 most obnoxious boys according to the teacher. We had a great time. The boys were fabulous, they were interested and intrigued.
4 of the 40 students had never even been to NYC before ever. We took a coach bus, which had a mic for talking about things, and being my experience as a tour guide in Nashville TN at one crazy point in my life I picked right up on it. The art teachers that were in charge were 1st year teachers.
It was fun. I dont know too much about what to say about all the artwork, but boy, I feel like I should be in there somewhere. But the ego always gets me in trouble so Ill stay shy of that.
However, Alexander Calder's' wire work was impressive. The installations were pretty unique, but what do you say about it all? Only makes me want to create more of my own work. So, off I go into the wonder world of free and celebrated virginity of the unknowing; the "I wont pretend to know" and the very novice in all aspects of this mysterious universe once I step into my studio! Art.
I love it. All of it. Even the bad art I love. Because it took someone to create it, express it. It took somebody to be just alittle bit closer to the realness of absolute nothingness and the unknowingly expression from their own experienced process. I am learning the less I know the better.
The less I pretend to understand the closer I am to my own inner truth, and I will never claim to know any truth. I want to be able to wonder, to imagine, and to keep an innocence about me
that can become a very reality through what I create as my artwork. Anything goes for me.
I dont care what the teachers say about anything to do with art. (of course I did not say that to these teachers today.) They only teach how to do things anyhow. Not much about meaning.
So, off I go now.
bye bye, Oh I did draw some pictures on the way.
One was my inturpretation of a New York Maypole!!
