We went on our weekly date to the DAM, where Mr Increditble and I loved the African art by El Anatsui a ghanain it was truly inspiring! He created art in so many mediums, aluminum, wood, clay, acylics etc. My favorite was the everchanging pieces of bottle caps and other pieces that looked liked African textiles in the way they flowed. Watching the documentary of him, he said art freed him, and allowed him to express his history through his pieces, for example the Peak milk cap sculptures that are showing daily life in Ghana and consumption. What an amazing man, I'm so glad we went to it.Then we enjoyed the deliable foods at palettes along with the art in there. We talked of art styles that we love and how we are inspired to use our environment to make art...all the cardboard boxes we got in the garage, instead of making the cardboard forts this time we are going to make an art piece. It's going to be fabulous!
