When I walked into the building, I saw a long line of people waiting to get into the gallery. I was discouraged to go on the line but there were not much Arts workshops but eventually I did. I did not like how everybody who walked in were skipping the line. After 20 minutes or so, I finally got into the gallery. The collection of art is limited but it was still intriguing. While everybody was signing in, I took a walk around the gallery. I recognized a few photographs from the collection. The photographs were unique and mysterious. Everything was abstract. You can interpret in many ways. The instructor gave us a tour around the gallery, introducing some of the artistes and photographs to us. After like six photogarphs, the tour was over.
I thought this workshop was simple. It was all about seeing. Since I am taking Art History, I look at the art in a different perspective. I did like some of the photographs since I myself, like to take pictures of landscapes and nature. I thought that the workshop could have been more efficient. They should not make us wait outside on lines and everything especially since people like to skip. I would recommend this workshop if people like to look at art and appreciate it. I thought the workshop could have been more elaborated and thorough. I would have like to hear more about some of the photographs. I did learn something from this workshop. The thing about art is that there are so many ways to interpret it. It could be nature or it could be people. It is how the individual sees it.
