In July we asked, "What's your favorite art memory?"
Here are the responses:
- Drawing a portrait of myself drawing a cocky-portrait to illustrate my respond to my Kindergarten teacher'southward question, "What do you want to be when y'all grow upwards?" My answer, an artist. Thirty-eight years later I all the same have the drawing and I am still a practicing creative person.
- Equally a kid of the 80s, I had a brawl with Spirograph... Oh, and a Shrinky-Dink too. I guess I merely really liked coloring. Surprising that I haven't jumped onto the adult coloring book tendency!
In April nosotros asked, "What is "Pop" to You?"
Hither are the responses:
- Interesting questions. Every bit an active museum visitor pop art is very low on my list. Allow me say this. There are enough of art forms that I take no interest in. That's just my sense of taste and does not disclaim that any of the forms that I am not interested in are "bad." Pop has pieces that once explained are, to say the very least, interesting. They can be very thought provoking, very moving, and tin deliver monumental letters. Nonetheless, the bulk of it needs a full description of what the message is or what is going on. I was listening to a couple of Popular fans at an exhibition conveying on about a piece like it was at least the replacement for the Mona Lisa. I asked what was the significant of the piece. I received a expressionless stare. They liked it and that's OK. I would ask that the curators of the pop exhibits accept the time to have placards bachelor with an caption or at least an educated paragraph nearly what pop fans retrieve it is.
- At that place are not many shows at the PMA that I have truly hated. In fact, that has never happened earlier, and I've been to nearly every one over the past 40+ years. But I hated International Popular. It made me aroused. I'yard trying to clarify why, and I just don't know. Basically it was ugly, ugly, ugly. I like all periods and genres of art, including modern, simply this was just awful.
- The exhibition International Pop was a revelation. Totally convincing that the Popular motion was non an American phenomenon with a small British sectionalisation, but INTERNATIONAL in scope. Mind-altering and terrifically entertaining with many rare masterpieces and only the occasional one-time chestnut that was cheerfully included. Well curated testify and great fun. Well worth the drive from NYC to see this show.
- Pop Fine art is a satire on traditional fine art and how information technology becomes relatable to the viewers. It's chronicle-able, view-able, and it is not abstract. There probably has been enough "POP."
- Pop is the explosion of art generated by the freedom from social traditions taking identify in the U.S. in the tardily 1950s and onward. Images from POPular culture invaded artspaces, trash became art, sculpture went soft, and repetition reigned to provide art admission to the masses. POP appropriated images from modern civilisation, parading them as art, and begging the question one time over again, "What is art?" More importantly, Pop energized the search for the new Avant-Guard that continues to this mean solar day. That'south what POP means to me.
- In my mind, art is a many-faceted abstraction that can be interpreted very differently depending on the individual observer. What the original artist intended is irrelevant. Does a composer look the audience to dream up picturesque scenes in their minds as they listen to a operation? Sometimes yep, sometimes no. Sometimes the imagery is intentional. Often times it is not. Fine art is all things; ugly, political, social, anti-institution, propaganda, dirty, sexual, offensive, cold, warm, cute, innocent, intelligent, and many, many other facets. Beyond interpretation, art is something all cultures create and experience. Similar language, science, and math, art is something that connects all of humanity beyond borders, behavior, and cultures. Its importance cannot be overstated. Popular fine art is important. Frequently, information technology is linked to societal changes and upheavals. Looking at older Pop art can be similar looking through a window to those times, and seeing the large craze of the time, what big events were occurring, or simply looking into the civilization of the fourth dimension, and seeing what people were experiencing in the day-to-twenty-four hours. The aforementioned could be said for pop music. As we progress, breaking down limitations and barriers in society, Pop art also advances and progresses. Information technology is non agape of experimentation or being on the bleeding edge. That can enhance our perceptions, encourage abstract thinking, or simply inspire united states in new ways. In that sense, Popular fine art has a profound effect on the world.

Claudia Librett, fellow member since 2009, eloquently responded:
Illuminating truth, beauty, and honey. Oftentimes truth that we shy abroad from is embraced or at to the lowest degree received when it is expressed through fine art. Beauty in nature and in art inspires and quiets our souls. Merely when we move with our hearts in making fine art does it express and embody love.
No one can really thrive without art.
Practically from nascency, my mom introduced me to cracking art in all forms and it has informed my career choices, enriched my life and fed my soul. I know for certain that it will do all that for my daughter likewise.
