Hammerday

Last week I went to the Hammer in westwood to chillax and enjoy looking at some art. The stuff there was awesome, my favorite exhibit was "Urban China". Larry Johnson was great too, I even tried to sketch on his pictures! I liked Johnson's work because it had a lot to do with typography. But it still spoke about the time he lived in, and how he felt connected to the Kennedy family.

The book store was great too, I wanted to buy a few books from there myself. Both of which were talking about Latin Culture. So being a Latina and a history buff, the books were like a dream come true. Urban China was great too, because the magazine covers just had my typography/graphic design meter going crazy! I also drew outside for a couple of hours, just the trees and some of the building. Nothing better than practice. I may go to the Getty as well this month, I would like it if someone would come with me, plus the place is a lot bigger so there might be more to draw.
Highlights from the Hammer Visit:
The magazine covers from the "Urban China" exhibit that were my favorite.
