Folk Art

For our sixth trip in our HOGS class, we went and viewed what is called, "Folk Art". We first went to the Orange Show, where we learned about a guy named, "Jeff McKissack". He is the founder of the amazing, "Orange Show". He built the The Orange Show in honor of his favorite fruit, which is clearly oranges. He also believed that the longevity of humans depended on hard work and good nutrition. Here we saw many diverse things that caught everyone's eye. It seemed that some parts were used as a part where a performance took place and the audience in front. Most of the things that were built here were orange; the color of his favorite fruit. After that, we went to Art Car Museum. It was very interesting to see pictures in newspapers put against the wall that contained pictures of small kids as if they were suffering. Some of them looked very sad, most of them did, and it made you kind of be sorry for those kids, It was a really amazing place to go and see. The Cars in the museum were very "decorative" for they had many metal things attached on them; from badges to pennys. It might have so many metal things attached that the cars could maybe be pulled by a big strong magnet.
