For the artist lecture assignment I was not able
to attend any of the suggested art exhibits because I had night class every
Thursday. In order complete this assignment I took a trip the Art and Institute
of Chicago. I found this temporary art exhibit in the modern art section of this
museum. This exhibit used graphics and text to tell about the history of music.
The exhibit focused mostly on records and news about
the past of music. I was able to see a progression of the style of records and
packaging labels from the past as I compared it to modern packaging. The design
of the records repressed the time period that it came from in a creative way.
The colors in the photographs had a lot of contrast and gave the art an old
school feeling. The artwork was colorful and eye catching. It had a playful and
lively feel to it. The pictures worked well with the words to tell a story.
Overall I as impressed with this exhibit and I learned
a lot. I enjoyed viewing the stylized way of the records where packaged. The
text was straightforward and gave a clear message. The text communicated the
point worked well with the images.
