Los Angeles County Museum of Art

            Yesterday, we ventured into Los Angeles to go visit LACMA. We wandered through an American Art Exhibit, which included modern American art, a European art exhibit, which had a Picasso section, and a few sculpture exhibits. We were really looking forward to the "Tim Burton" exhibit. I really am unsure where Tim Burton's mind is, this said, I still find his work interesting and I'm jealous of his ability to think up such out of the ordinary characters and stories. In my opinion, the most interesting part of the exhibit was reading all the notes he had jotted down on his art. It shows the observer exactly what he was thinking as he was creating the story/artwork. It's amazing how much of a story just one sketch tells. I feel like this stories are so twisted that is anyone but Tim Burton thought of them, they would socially unacceptable. Much of the artwork was very raw, from and personal collection, and left untitled. This was very easy to appreciate,and it helped you make a personal connection with Tim Burton. Not only is LACMA a great attraction, you also get the LA experience with the yummy food trucks that line Wilshire Blvd (The street on which LACMA is located).
