Theo Jansen and the purpose of art
The painter and kinetic sculpture, Theo Jansen, had a very interesting speech. His form of art was of an experiment and this "animal" he created from tubes. This was very interesting to hear about but as for the reason in creating this, I am not sure. However, I believe the purpose of art is to educate. Art has a way of appealing ideas, views, and new concepts to it's viewers. Jansen creates this sculpture to convey his ideas of an artificial lifeform being able to adapt to life on beaches and to "survive" on it's own.

I enjoyed this post. It was short, sweet, and to the point.
Good job with your post. You said what needed to be said in a brief little paragraph. Way to get the ideas across along with your own opinions as well.
I agree with you. I found the sculptures amazing. Your post was well written and organized. It was also very clear. Good job :)
