Best of the Week: Art with wire, thread, sugar, chocolate

This TED presentation was definitely the highlight of my week in humanities. The pieces of art that we saw were both unique and amazing. The pieces of thread he used to make some of his portraits were incredible. It looks like someone drew the artwork but it is actually yards and yards of thread. The creativity to be able to apply thread with art is amazing. I like the TED presenters outlook on art also. He encourages using an array of methods to create artwork, telling people to ignore criticism from others. He is proof that if someone has talent, it doesn't matter what form they chose to express their creativity. I believe that his most out of the box idea is his use of planes to make drawings in the sky. I believe that the presenter embraces a lot of aspects of humanities, and he definitely challenges the status quo with his innovative ideas. He is a good model to replicate because he goes into foreign territories and succeeds in impressing and producing great works of art.
