This is a drawing of the front leg of a Triceratops. At first I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about drawing the bones of dinosaurs, especially since there were small children running around everywhere. However as I started drawing, I rather enjoyed it. It was interesting to see how similar the bone structure of many of the dinosaurs are to humans. Especially since I was able to look at a bone and identify it. I could also imagine what the muscle structure of the creature would be like by examining the bone structure. Also since the Triceratops is such a massive creature, it was easier for me to notice the plane changes of the bones as compared to human bones. My favorite part of the Walker was the Joseph Bueys exhibit, whom I rather fancy as an artist. I am very familiar with the work of Bueys as an installation artist and the reasoning behind his use of fur and fat. I have never seen any of his work in person though, such as one of the felt suits that was hanging in the Walker. I of course had to take a few minutes and watch, what is probably his most famous piece "I Like America and America Likes Me". It was also interesting to view many of the materials he used in his instillation pieces, particularly noticing the age of the materials.
