- Performing maintenance art was a great experience because it made me appreciate the art sculpture that is by the USU. Thousands of people walk past the sculpture everyday but don’t take the time to appreciate the work of art. This was someone’s creation, and it’s important that we respect their creativity and take care of it.
- In my opinion, I think Mierle Laderman Ukeles cleaning the steps of an art museum and and Richard Serra flinging molten lead agains walls is art but in certain ways. Ukeles is cleaning a museum that displays art, and it shows that she appreciates the museum as a whole. Serra flinging molten lead can look like art but at the same time, it can also look like it doesn’t represent art because it can look like he is trying to destroy something.
- If someone takes the time to make, create, or show appreciation for something, I consider that art. It doesn’t matter where you, whether it’s at an art museum, or being a janitor and cleaning at a school. What makes something art is when someone has the passion to work on something, whether it’s a project or cleaning. With that being said, I do think Mierle Laderman Ukeles’ maintenance art is considered art.
- From a vague perspective, I think a lot of things can be considered art. However, when it comes to art, most people will automatically think of drawings or paintings. If someone created a painting and put it on a canvas, I think it would be considered art, whether it’s displayed or not. A house painting or a painting in a museum is still a painting matter what. So overall, it doesn’t matter where a canvas with a painting on is it located. What matters is that someone still took the time and energy to create their own art.
- Mierle Laderman Ukeles’ and Jennifer Lopez’ work both made me realize that yes, women’s work is considered art. Women’s work is something that people take for granted. For example, some women are stay at home moms. Their goal is to have a family, and take care of their children. They put effort, passion, and love into doing women’s work, and for that reason, I think women’s work is an art.
- If I had to clean a star, it would be Tim McGraw’s. I love his music and he is the reason why I started listening to country music.
