The High Museum of Art

For my birthday I got one of the coolest gifts ever, an annual pass to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. Now I can just come and go from it when I feel like without worrying about making the most of my day ticket. I stopped by one day after work for about an hour and had the time of my life.
The museum just opened a new exhibit, Dream Cars, highlighting 19 concept cars and the revolutionary design they inspired. As a Detroit girl, car exhibits are nothing new to me. Car exhibits in an art museum? Totally brilliant! I didn't spend as much time in here as I wanted to because it was PACKED, but I fully plan on going back to sketch angles, curves, and wheel wells.
My heart and eyes also dwelt on the contemporary art and Africa mask exhibits. The tribal motifs and bold lines drew me in. My own work is very light, airy, and often intricate. It fascinates me how I so often focus on clean, minimalistic characteristics in the work of others. Must be the Scandinavian in me...
Anyway, the day at the High was a complete success and I can't wait to go back soon!
