Saturday, March 7, I went to The Armory Show. I spent four and one half hours walking and looking. It was exciting to see contemporary work as well as Modern works by Picasso, Leger, Miro, etc. As I looked, I got all sorts of ideas to use in graphic design. I paid special attention to the videos since I will have Computer Graphics Studio in the Fall.
Sunday I walked. I started at the Flatiron building on 23rd and walked to the Brooklyn Bridge. One place I liked was an animation gallery called Animazing Gallery. There were original Charles Schultz drawings as well as smaller etchings made from his work. Here is the link. There were other fun fantasy based paintings as well.
The weather was nice, so I decided to walk and take as many pictures as I could find interesting subjects. In NYC there are so many.
I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. You can see the Statue of Liberty from the bridge, although it is a little distant. After I crossed the bridge I wandered a bit in Brooklyn by the water and got an ice cream cone a the famous Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.

How interesting. I gave a quote today to my students from the architect of the Flatiron Building.

"Make no little plans: they have no magic to stir men's blood . . . make big plans, aim high in hope and work." - Daniel H. Burnham.
