Going to the art gallery Blowout was my first time going to an art gallery in a very long time. I have never really been around art. The only art I have been exposed to has been through art class in middle school and high school. I found art class fun but art has never really stuck with me, I was never really good at it and that frustrated me. When I was assigned to go to the art gallery I was excited to see the art and be and try to become more familiar with art, with that excitement also came nerves. I did not know what to expect when going to the gallery and looking at all of the pieces of work. I was worried that my mind would think and question the art work. When I walked in I was not expecting to see a huge piece of art hanging from the wall and expanding down to the floor. One could walk right over it if they were not careful. When I think of art I think of drawing, paintings, and sculptures of people. I saw some of want I normally think of art at the gallery, but for the most part I saw different ways of producing art.
