Bring out your dead!

In regards to the "Art word of the week", let's think about the word abstract.

What exactly makes something "abstract"? It's very hard to wrap my head around. Basically, I got the indication that you create something abstract when it poses no "stereotypic" images. Okay. What's stereotypic? Well, when I look that up in Google - it said this: stereotyped: lacking spontaneity or originality or individuality. 
Ooohh. That makes sense to me! Not really. Well, kinda. Yeah! I think I got it! ... Nope, I lost it again. Oh wait... Aren't those the reactions that most abstract pieces give out? I think I'm getting it now! ... No I'm not. 
There's only one thing left to do...

Results:

 (These pieces are not of my creation - they were spontaneously selected by me from Google Images).

Well, looking at these randomly selected Google images, I can see that the formation of these pieces are... also random! But you know, with each piece, I am certainly getting a different feel. 


The first one makes me think of the tropics at first glance. It makes me feel kinda warm, even if it is the coldest day of the year for Toronto! Also, it makes me think of kite-flying.


The second image somehow reminds me that I need to do some readings in my History of Science and Tech II course. I don't really know why. I think it's because it looks a little industrial, a little technological, A little astronomical... Huh! Never thought art would make me think of homework. Ick! Not sure if I'm likin' this abstract stuff!


The third picture reminds me of nature, but in a corrupt sort of way. I mean, the top left part reminds me of a butterfly, the rest reminds me of piled up trash. And just look at that colour! It's rusty! It needs something to get that shiny silver look, like the homework sculpture! 


Ooohh.. But none of those pieces don't look like they tried to make me think those things. I get it! These pieces are nothing more than various swoops and spikes and colours placed in any-which-way! Hey! Anyone can do that! Let me try!

... 

Well! I'm back! What a MISSION. It's not that easy creating something from; well, nothing! Don't get me wrong, I found lots of stuff to use for my work... But let me tell ya, half of the time I was putting things upside down, sideways, any way I could that would look random, different, unusual, but also, you know, able to withstand gravity? It wasn't easy! But, this is what I came up with:

This disaster site consists of a jewelery stand, some various necklaces, charms, perfume bottles, and a jewelery box.
