This week i was able to go to LACMA. I had never been there before so it was definitely a great experience. The museum was a really cool place I enjoyed every part of it. There were a couple pieces that i really enjoyed which was the Buddah sculptures. I consider myself to be a Buddhist and really have an obsession to Buddah so i loved seeing the different sculptures and also all the paintings and exhibits were so unique. Overall, I loved LACMA and i will be visiting again soon.

For this weeks activity we had to post pictures on Instagram and hashtag our art110 class. As a result we could click on the tag and see all the picture we had in common or the different pictures people post. I noticed that a lot of people had posted posted food or drinks and I had also posted my coffee in the morning. Another picture a lot of people had in common was also the a selfie picture. Many people had also posted selfies just like me. I thought this activity was fun because its something I do all the time I’m on Instagram a lot so it was easy for me.

Jazmine has been doing art since she was in high school. That is six years now, her junior year of high school was the her most important year to starting her art career. For her art she she bought all the candy in bulk two and a half weeks before she started. She also got some of the stuff donated for example the french fry cartons were donated from Mc Donald’s. The total cost for the candy was around $700.00. The name of the art is called Bombom it means marshmallow. The purpose of the art was that she wanted people to be enclosed by her candy thats why her video is on a 3min loop. The video is of her being stuffed and thrown at with candy it is a little disturbing but it really does make you feel like your being affected and enclosed by the candy. Jazmine even stated that while filming the video she actually threw up. Jazmine’s inspiration to creating the Bombom art piece was her younger sister, her sister struggles with her weight so really wanted people to be affected by the candy in order to promote healthy eating habits. The hardest part of creating this piece was glueing all of the candy and being burned by the hot glue, also spending so much time trying to get it done and not sleeping
