When I was told we were going to go to an art gallery I expected to see several abstract picture that were painted based on what I had seen on T.V. about art galleries. I had been to museums before, but never to an art gallery. The fact that we went as a group though helped because we were together, and it made the experience more fun and interesting.
When I arrived the place was very quiet and empty and honestly i thought that the gallery was closed and I was about to turn around and walk away. But Dr. Sandra Kraskin introduced herself and explained to us what we would be doing today. When we got the tour of the gallery, I saw that the pictures where photographs that showed different social groups as Dr. Sandra Kraskin explained to us. I thought a a lot of the art we saw was very interesting especially the pictures that showed the African genocides (even though they were depressing). You could feel what the people in the picture felt by looking at their facial expressions.
I really liked the fact that Dr. Sandra Kraskin got us involved by asking us question instead of just talking the whole time. After showing us a few of the pictures she allowed us to view the pictures on our own which I liked since it gave me a chance to focus on the pictures that caught my eyes. Overall, I thought this was a new, good experience.
