4) How did the workshops affect your perspective of the topic that was discussed?
Entering the Mishkin, we had a guide telling us the arts and the biography of Mercedes Matter. I like how she expressed her understanding of life through abstract paintings. Even through the instructor gave us explanations on those paintings, we didn’t fully understand what she was saying.
5) How did the workshop take you out of your comfort zone?
This workshop made me use more of my imagination to comprehend those abstract paintings.
6) Explain what the workshop was about and tell us why you specifically chose that workshop.
This workshop is sort of like a tour of the paintings of Mercedes Matter. As I have mentioned before, I like how she expressed her understanding of life through abstract paintings. The reason i chose this workshop was that I was in need of one more signature.
