Artist Toots Zynsky and Betty Woodman are first favorite artists in this chapter. Their combination artwork by art, craft, and design seems fantastic and very creative. Artist Toot made has artworks as ‘Night Street Chaos’ after long experiment with the traditional blowing and modeling techniques such as glass threads and long filaments when Artist Betty was practicing with clay, cylindrical pots, and vessels.
Their artworks have some similarities. Both artworks ‘Night Street Chaos’ and ‘Aztec Vase Number 5’ are very colorful and used more than one material to create it. In addition, the shapes from these two artworks are unfamiliar and weird. Their artworks also have diverse views by the position and place that audiences are standing.
Artist Toot’s artwork ‘Night Street Chaos’ is a good balance on the ground even though upper part is multiple bigger than the bottom part. Its shape looks like the flower; the bottom part of it was small and round as a bud, and upper part of it curved in zigzag form. It has strong and natural colors such as green, yellow, and blue; therefore, its gives wildness, vividness, and activeness in atmosphere. I just can feel happy and fresh while I view his artwork.
Unlike Artist Toot, Artist Betty’s artwork ‘Aztec Vase Number 5’ has similar volume and size to the top and the bottom. It also has diversity shapes on an artwork: knife, cup, cylinder, and etc. She did neither use strong paints nor not completed paintings (I can see some blanks). Furthermore, her artwork has more than one texture such as dots, curved line, and vertical lines with some boundaries. These characteristics are very impressing me.
I can learn my lessons while I see their great artworks and read this section of chapter 11. I did not know that craft can more creative and look smoother than the one through the canvas. I should try it.
