I find it extremely ironic that SLeeper brought this up so significantly in class. My Drawing I teacher at my previous college actually brought Kentridge up to me and strongly suggested that I look him up, as see his animations. A few weeks after learning about Kentridge from my art teacher, he actually ended up showing the class a piece of the same video we watched Monday in SLeeper's (I'm calling him that now in my blogs :P) class. So you can imagine my suprise whenever he talked about him and played that video!
Although I have to admit that the particular videa he played wasn't my favorite of Kentridge's, who, by the way, has a great gallery at the Philadelphia Art Museum. This Kentridge video is my absolute favorite:
When I first watched this video, my jaw was practically on the floor. How does he do that?! I can't even fathom it as I watch it how he takes these lines and turns one object/word into something completely different. It completely blows my mind. In all honesty, none of his other works are that interesting to me compared to this video. William Kentridge is indeed phenominal in what he does.
I'm sorry my blog's so short, this was all I reall had to say XD
