The Art Mobile of Montana is a traveling art gallery with a variety of artworks by Montana artists. Some of the artists are very well known - you may have seen some of their artworks before, or heard their names.
The art exhibit has about 20 works of art including paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures, and a photograph.
These types of art are called "Visual Art"--the kind that we see, view, & appreciate looking at.
Question. What are the other types of major arts?
Answer. [music, drama, dance, poetry]
As you come to view the artworks, please look carefully at each work of art. Montana Director for the Art Mobile, Salley Williamson, will be there to tell you about the artists and their works.
Notice the different styles of visual art each artist has a different "style."
Prints are usually labeled underneath in pencil by the artist, showing the edition or number of prints that exist. You may touch all of the sculptures, which are defined as three-dimensional works of art.
Some things to be thinking about before you visit the Art Mobile exhibit:
Why is art important to have?
Do you like to make art? Why?
Think of art as being a way of speaking with pictures, a non-verbal method of communication, and a way of visual thinking.
When people are making art, they are being creative. What are other ways of being creative?
Being creative:
Balances us out as human beings
Involves our intuitive nature
Involves our feelings, our spirit
May happen when we have ideas that just seem to pop into our awareness
What are some ways that you are creative?
Do you have ideas that you express through making pictures, dancing, making music, singing, writing poetry, or acting them out? These are all creative ways that people have expressed themselves through the ages.
