電気通信大学 AWE II: Yayoi Kusama・草間彌生

Hello! 

How are you? Here is a post about a completely different artist, one some of you may know - Yayoi Kusama (草間彌生). This is her at work in the picture above.

I have given all of you the reading about her. This post goes with that reading, in order for you to see examples of her work. 

Activity

Take a look at these pictures of her work as you read with your classmates. When you're finished, talk about these works and what you think of them. What kind of reality does she show through these creations - if you feel there is a reality her at all. If you do not believe this reflects any kind of reality, what do you think it does reflect? 

Take a look at these: 

Ascension of Polka Dots on the Trees (2006)

From the Infinity Room series (2010)

I pray with all my love for tulips (2012)

I hope you find these interesting.

See you next time!
