Day 8 - SAM

Today, we visited another museum called SAM or A.K.A Singapore Museum of Art. The purpose of visiting the place was to 'try' and understand the artwork as we would have to learn how to get our messages or products across to people if we had something abstract.

This was an inspirational paragraph that was seen at teh entrance of SAM.

Definitely that museum was very different to the other ones we had visited but there were some really interesting stuff there to look at. At the lobby or entrance of the museum, there was a glass box that was sealed off completely and there was grass growing inside but because of being trapped, you could see mold growing on the grass and being damp, there was dead grass just breaking down to become food for the healthier grass to feed off. The first few sections we walked through, or to say, I walked through the museum, they weren't 'attractive' to me as they were just plain weird, like...there was a plastic model of some guy with underwear ...eeew

These are just some artifacts that started make the walkabout in the museum a bit more interesting.

The tones of pink in frames caught my eye first followed by the rainbow scrolls with medium of patel/paint or some texture build up medium.

Though, as I got in further, there were some fascinating stuff  such as this supernatural info board or even this giant hand drawn map of Singapore and people could leave notes as landmarks or reminders of where they had been.

Another section, as I entered the doorway, was a large show case of these seed pods which supposedly came from a plant that covers or is now rare to Singapore. There were so many and there was even an interactive game board where you just had to match an image of the seed pod to the one displayed on a wall and place the image on the board matching the location of the same image on the wall....if that makes sense.
The seed pods were really thick and around the size of a large walnut.

Another section that interested me was a wall with miniaturized traps.
The idea was to show how humanity had/has been cruel and the mechanisms used to commit such acts...I think... but I wondered why there was a hibiscus amongst the traps? apparently, it is a fake one made to trap humming birds for the study of the tiny birds.

Close to the time we had to meet back in the lobby, I found another section to explore and I found something to write about for our worksheets. The section had very nifty artwork, for a place with little to look at, but some of those works included a giant portrait made with shampoo caps or some figure of a women that looked like it came out of minecraft loool.

After lunch, we headed to the studio. I went alone though as I had lunch near SAM and then made my own way back to the studio. I did get lost though....so much
 for someone saying just go straight. did anyone say to turn at a certain traffic light???

Anyways, we continued working on our project. We had ideas of changing the logo, which was annoying, but we also got started on designing our product and the supposed design of a store to sell our product.
