James Turrell and Cave Art



                  On Monday I went to the Guggenheim Museum to see the way James Turrell used light to showoff his style of art and it was great. I saw how this works and I see similarities between his work and The Cave of forgotten Dreams. But with similarities there are also differences between both arts.
                The similarities are their, they both use lights to show off there work. While James use light from a source (sunlight). He used sunlight to show his work. Whenever light came through he would use that to create a room filled with light, which people just spend time looking up to. Were in The cave of forgotten dreams use the light from torches, the light from this torches make the art on the wall almost come to life. Almost like a story.
                 The difference between the both is clear. One uses drawings to showoff. While it great to be in a room were the light would change to different color's and it was a great place to just sit and stare, I rather be in the cave. (Too bad no one can enter it.) The way the art on the wall are shown is truly amazing. For them to have like that back then, just leaves me wondering on how they did that. With the drawings looking like that are moving, and all they added was a few extra body parts to show a animal walking (or give it life).
                 And this is all cause of the movement of light.

Hi my name is Anthony P.
I'm majoring Liberal Arts.

                    You know at first glance you think that this is trash. But in all honesty it show you how far we really came in this world. If you ever had play this you can see what I'm talking about. There where no HDMI graphic , no wireless controller, no playing online. The graphics were 3D with blocks as art this was standard graphics. To play with friends or family they had to come over or you had to go there house, there was no sitting in your and talking on a mic.
                    To me this means a lot of things. It means great times just sitting on the floor and playing videogames. The friends and family that came over just to play. It reminds me of the hours I spending doing homework and getting good grades just so I could play at the end of the week. Overall it just shows me how far we came in the world. To HDMI/3D graphics, to games that you can on the road, to games that you can play on your phones. We came a long way from 1996.
