Summary: The Birmingham Museum of Art was where I chose to do my live interaction. Filled with amazing art, my family and I saw a ton of stunning pieces. One piece was Bonjour Julie by Joan Mitchell. This particular piece was created in 1971 and was an abstract composition of three canvases covered in different shades of blue, yellow, and orange. Next we saw William Wiley’s Remedial Archeology and the Like. This piece was half colorful and half black and white outlines. Also in the student art we saw Self Portrait by Jordan Acton, which was a portrait with uncommon colors such as yellow on the face and orange on the hair.
Response: Our time at the art museum was fun, but I thought it was almost unnecessary for my project seeing as they did not have any professional art that would remotely resemble Warhol’s. The Student section was where I was surprised to see the painting by Jordan Acton. His picture was classic Warhol. The abstract use of colors in a simple portrait was exactly what I was looking for. All the professional art that I was interested in was considered contemporary but not pop art. As we entered the gift shop we did find merchandise with Warhol prints on it. My sister even bought a Warhol phone book.
