I attended the Leap Before You Look walk through exhibit on May 1st. The exhibit was pretty cool overall, it was my first time actually visiting a museum. After viewing most of the exhibit , two of the things we seen really caught my eye.

A picture of an art by Martin Kersels.                  The explanation of the art to the left.

I thought this was one of the weirder things iv'e ever seen. I just don't completely understand why this was made bu ti think that's what intrigues me the most. Mr. Kersel was born in Los Angeles and actually received his B.A at UCLA. But a cool fact about this sculpture is that the stereo actually emits disco raves. The three strings on the sides and the front  go in and out of the green ball very slowly and there is actually weird music being played from the speaker. This sculpture overall is extremely weird but i think that's what makes it so cool.

               King David painting                                     A description of the artwork.

This King David painting really caught my eye as well. This painting was made by Gustave Moreau in 1878. This was really the only other art that looked cool to be. The rest of the art was just to abstract for me. In this picture, King David is looking dark and sad and he's looking down at a little girl with wings and it seems as if he's looking for help. I actually did a research project on King David in middle school so its pretty cool seeing a painting of him at the exhibit.
