Sculpture By The Sea
The author's writing style is slightly casual, yet very informative. This piece acts almost as a spunky newspaper article. It made me interesting in seeing the place for myself, and the stunning examples of some of the art that you can see there definitely helped. The quote adds a very nice touch to the piece, hinting toward the origins of the "art exhibit."
However, the article did seem a bit too biased for me at times. It was slightly too opinionated and frankly a bit rude in regard to Time Out, a very legitimate travel blog. He seems to really acknowledge or delve into the potential negative aspects of people's opinions or his own, saying things like the art could be second-rate, though he attests that it isn't, as we can see by the pictures.
However, he redeems himself by appealing to audience members like me who feel as though they cannot understand modern art (which seems more like the case for him as well).
The language is very straightfoward, nicely written and easy to read. Although I think that the length is too short and the author could have covered more art if he had maybe been more of an expert in the field (though he very well might be, and I could have just gotten the wrong impression).
The ending is nice. It is short, sweet, and tries to convince the reader that this place is worth the visit. But like I said, I think it's far too short.
Thoughts?
