Last week KT and I visited the Musea d'Art de la Ville de Paris for another fun design assignment. We had to chose a sculpture from the Jimmie Durham exhibition, sketch it (no pictures allowed), and then paint an enlarged version with the title of the piece in a complementary font. I chose a sculpture of a very dark and sinister vulture because of the interesting title, "Thinking of You." We spent about two hours in the museum sketching different pieces and enjoying the fact that we were no longer grouchy museum-going tourists but the local art school students (VIP access included) that one always sees at museums trying to sketch in inopportune places. We also enjoyed how, even though neither of us really knew what we were doing, the pieces that we were sketching at the time always got way more attention from onlookers as if our sketchbooks gave us instant credibility.
