Noguchi Postcards

Well, I thought this was interesting. To many people it was a tooth but he/she took it to a new level and got me to really take another look at the picture. I thought that it was another take on to something that everyone would commonly say. I really liked it.

Sneak Peak #3

"I don't really know about art. But I know but I know art can represent something as what we feel or who we are. Our memories of something can always make some unable understanding pictures of our own art."


This is the postcard that I chose. The postcard touched me because it showed that I have similar feelings to a stranger. It gives me comfort knowing there are people in the world that think like me.

Sneak peek #2

The postcard reads: "The picture shows us that ... art contains many information. It seems to tell us its past, and have a curious feeling into my heart." - Anonymous, Newcomers High School

We received a huge variety of responses to our project--some were just plain silly, while others were sentimental or poetic, almost. I chose this one in particular because it's short and sweet, without sacrificing depth of meaning.

I loved watching my fellow TAB members pick out their favorites, look forward to seeing them posted here soon!

Very First Sneak Peek

This is the first of many sneak peeks of the Insight publication (TBA) It is my favortive of the responses we have read so far.



This response reads "It reveals how something so simple can be so complicated, while there are complicated masterpieces that are so simple. Also, it reminds me of my lonliness. How much I long to have someone simple, yet mature."
-Victor Diaz
-Sophmore at St. John's Preparatory School

I loved reading different ways people responded to the postcard. There was a great variety in the answers, and that's what makes it so interesting.

INsight

The Teen Advisory Board (TAB)at the Noguchi Museum presents it's second annual INsight. INsight is a forum so that teens that are interested in the arts can take a look at a great artist also known as Mr. Noguchi. This year, a postcard with a sculpture and quote from Isamu Noguchi will be presented in the front while your thoughts on said quote and sculpture will be written on the back and then mailed to TAB so that a few lucky individuals would have their thoughts published. It'll be interesting to see the results so be on the lookout for these postcards.

Nature and Noguchi

In many of the past meetings, we have been discussing how Noguchi and his museum are very inspired by nature. All of the members of TAB have fleshed out many different ideas relating to nature. After the meeting on March 3rd, I decided to write the following poem about Noguchi's use of nature. Enjoy!

Natural Surroundings
Toriane Agostino

Walking amidst
The jungle
Of metal and stone
The walls seem
To move in and out
With the breaths of life

There may only be
Inanimate objects around
But if you listen
Life flows throughout

The rock
From the Earth
The light
From the sun
The water
From the springs
The sound
From the people

It might only be
A museum full
Of astonishing art
But there is life
Within the work
Of Isamu Noguchi
