Art Show Observations

My recent art show has come and gone.  The paintings still hang on the walls of the Arts Center, but for all intents and purposes the show is over.  Months of planning and painting come down to one night of people milling around drinking and eating.  A show is considered a success if you have lots of people, a bar, and food.

It is interesting to watch people at an art show.  They of course get a drink first and then walk around kind of looking at art.  Kind of looking at the art.  It is almost like they don't want anyone to know they are looking at the art.  It is like they don't want to be caught looking at it. 

Go to an art show sometime and see what I mean.  Of course, get a drink first.

  2. Exactly! I agree. Human behavior is fascinating. An art show is the perfect place to go observe people. Should I look at the art? Should I let them know I am looking at the art? What if someone sees me looking?

    Another great place to observe people and their behavior is a mall. I love just sitting on a bench and watching people. You never know what you will see people do.
