I attended the Mercedes Matter: A Retrospective Exhibition on Nov. 17th in the Mishkin gallery in the 22 second street building at 1 pm. The gallery was very overcroweded and had a long waiting line because only twenty five people were allowed into the exhibition room at one time. When the wait was finally over, i was finally able to see the beautiful still life portraits that Mercedes had created. I really enjoyed her artwork, because she used a lot of colors and shapes and it required some thinking to figure out what she was trying to say in her paintings. I would recommend this workshop to others because one would learn alot about modern paintings and about Mercedes’ art.

The art gallery was too crowded. It was difficult to see the artworks because of the crowd. Although I couldn’t see much, the few things that I did see, I did not like. Mercedes, a car, was also the artist whose work was on display. I’ve never been a huge fan of art because it’s so much easier to take a photograph. And in my opinion, if you want to express how you see things, through a weird discombobulated lens, then you should probably get your eyes checked rather than paint. However, I would recommend this workshop for anyone looking to catch swine flu. Because large amounts of people confined into a tiny room is good for you?

On Thursday, November 17th, I went to the Art Gallery Workshop at Baruch. The gallery included different works by the same person, many of which were still life portraits. They were all beautiful and elaborate. I enjoyed learning about the different types of art she employed.

We attended the Mercedes Matter: A Retrospective Exhibition on Nov. 17th. The exhibition took place in the Mishkin Gallery from 1 to 2 pm. In the exhibition we saw the types of paintings that Mercedes did and why and how it changed throughout the years. We also learned a little bit about her life. Overall, I thought that this workshop was pretty interesting and I would recommend it to others.
