Grant lecture and a trip to the new re-built Auckland Gallery

On Thursday 8th September we had Grant for today lecture and he came to talk about form and function. He said 'dose form follows function' or 'function follows form'. "In my point of view, I believe that form follows function because without function the form will be useless and wont exist." (Here is an formula that Grant showed me.) It represents form follows function.

Grant showed us many examples like, water falls, Jugs, buildings, chairs etc. The reason why he showed us these examples is to make us understand that form is nothing with out function. He also told us about a man called Bauhaus and Louis Sullivan, Louis was the one who figure out to prove that form follows function, he said 'high buildings lacked unity. They were built up in layers' and with the layers he used to build a skyscraper in 1890.

My first time visiting the Auckland Art Gallery, and my impression for the gallery BLEW my head away because all I could do is say WOW! its freak-en AMAZING! all I did is look left, right, up, and down, felt like my world was spinning too fast. All I can say in my head that everything was here, the building was good, the style of the building was excellent and the Artwork was outstanding. In my head I said, this is the Gallery I love the most! While I was walking around the building something hit me that I couldn't stand in one spot and all I could do is keep moving and moving because looking at the building and art work kept me going. It felt like I wanted to start over again from where I started.
