The piece in the art show that really drew my attention was a found object sculpture title Bored. It is a marked-up, hacked-up large dictionary. The hard red cover and simple letters make me think the dictionary itself is from the 70s. The art screams of that decade as well. In a school today, there is no way a kid could get away with vandalizing a book like this, but 40 years ago... maybe. The cover is lifted just slightly and you can clearly see a DeadHead drawn on the title page. The rest of the doodles are more jumbled and less clear, but the Dead emblem stands out and there is no mistaking it. The skull carved out of the corner of the pages is the center piece and obviously the artist's main focus/challenge. It shows incredible precision and talent as well as patience and vision.

Now for a piece that I wasn't too fond of. I don't want to totally lambast someone's work not knowing what the exact assignment was, but the one I really found lacking was titled Terror Ride, from an illustration class. I found it to be simple and lacking detail. The lines ran together and didn't seem to take the most effort. The piece looked like a page from a coloring book really. But with the class being illustrations, maybe that was the goal.
