For this blog assignment I chose to attend the Personal Adornment Day show. Over all I usually enjoy this event a lot. This year was my 3rd year attending. I enjoy seeing all the different things people can turn into art, and not just art but wearable art. I also enjoy the varying styles of music people find to put with their art. I think it adds a nice element and ties the show together to make it enjoyable all the way around. I think without sound it would be a little less exciting.
One thing that was different this year was the use of performance pieces. The show started out with 2 performance pieces. The second one even included the audience as a part of the piece, because they had to throw tomatoes at the artist. I feel like as an art major, performance pieces are often talked about but not seen quite as often. It was a nice way to change up the runway show from previous years, and also allow us to see a new type of art.
I also really enjoy the different ways people use wearable art. Some take it literally and make hand dyed fabric dresses. These are usually elegant and show a nice display of fiber art. There are also the pieces that use political messages to fuel their idea for a wearable piece. Just the range of objects used in the show to create pieces is interesting. I also find it interesting that every year their seems to be repeats of previous years pieces. For example someone always uses cards for a dress, or bottle caps and beer cans.
