Folk Art

On this trip we visited two places, one called, "The Orange Show", and the other one called "The Car Show". Both of these places were very unique and interesting in their own way. At "The Orange Show" we were able to walk around and observe and touch the place. The founder of the place was named Jeff McKissack, whose favorite fruit was oranges and his favorite color also. For that reason most of the things that we saw that were in there were colored orange, and also named it "The Orange Show". At the "Car Show", we also got to see some paintings that hung on the walls. Most of them depicted as something having to do with children and sadness. This pictures had small kids who's face looked sad and the background of the picture showed depression type of mood. It could have relations to child abuse or maybe hunger or poverty, who knows?

The Orange Show is a place where Jeff McKissack would have different things that he would see. It was unique because everything that he had there was different and I wouldn't have expected to be there. The seats that it had where made out of metal and they aren't all the same size or color. Even though nothing matched they looked cute and adorable, they even had like a little theater where they would have or could've shows. It has 2 floors, it had entries everywhere but some of them would take you to a died end so you had to go back and look for another one.



I liked it because it had really bright and beautiful color, that it was hard to get focus in one thing. All the different things that in had form a theater, to a little museum, to a wishing well of a house.

This was the cuties thing that I had ever seen!
Even though it didn't have anything besides some coin
 
 and rocks/dirt it was adorable.

Showing the love for The Wishing Well!

Beautiful colors and unique decorations that Jeff McKissack

 

"The Car Show" it had different and unique things, like that car that had all the objects on it. It had painting at the front of the museum, of little kids with sad faces that looked like they where abandon. This pictures made me get sad because the kids looked little around the ages of 4-6. They probably didn't have parents and they were just leaving a kids life. The Car Art Show was unique I had my questions about some things but it was interesting to. I liked the part where the car was decorated with lots of weird objects. Like metal, palates, silverware, etc...They also had some sculptures that had this exclusive look to it.
