My favorite enrichment workshop was the first “Baruch Voices” performance. I feel like this was a pretty good welcoming to my first semester here. I was just impressed how organized the performers were and how well they were able to perform each of the monologues that they were assigned. I think this performance stuck with me the most because I found it interesting to get a sense of how last year’s freshman felt about school and other things. I also felt like I was able to relate to some of the monologues, this definitely made me feel more comfortable about my first semester here.

My first three months at Baruch have been pretty interesting. For me, the biggest change that I had to get used to was that I was going to be living in the city. I knew I was going to either love or hate living here, as is the disposition of most people towards NYC. So far I’ve loved it, and Baruch definitely helps. I feel like at Baruch you have the whole city at your fingertips. The school is in the perfect area if you are majoring in finance, which I am. That’s why I chose this picture, I feel like it really captivates how I feel about Baruch itself, and the city as a whole.

I don’t think this was an enrichment workshop but my favorite class was when the adviser came in to teach us how to register for class this really helped me especially because i registration day was right after that class it was very helpful to choose what classes to take and when. it also helped us understand the registration process that much more it was great and i feel that this was probably every bodies favorite session.

The trip to Mishkin Art Gallery is interesting. Because I am very interested in photography. I was really enjoyed to look the pictures. They look very meaningful. I learned a lot of skills from the instructors. And I also learned a lot of things about Jazz. Although the picture itself cannot have sound, but I learned to image their sound by watch the people’s emotion in the pictures. It’s a very good experience.

Although I was unable to attend the Rubin Museum, I was able to do some research online and learn a lot about it. It was really interesting to learn about the collection of Himalayan art that they have at the museum. It’s a really interesting place to visit and I hope I get a change to attend it in the near future.

I was a little disappointed about the environment of the gallery. I thought it will be full of amazing painting or craft arts. But there is one thing I enjoyed, which is the camera shot technique. I learned  a little bit of camera angle shots, the position of the person, and the light contrast. The photos are pretty good. There are different types of photo. For example, some of the photos are very strong in expressing some sort of emotions.

The Mishkin gallery was actually the first art gallery I ever attended. I was really interested in the way the photographers captured the way jazz was played. I learned that even thought you can’t hear the music through the picture, the photographers did a great job at portraying a similar message. I learned that a picture really is worth a thousand words, as photographers put a lot of time into the orientation of the features in the picture before the snap of the camera. After attending this art gallery, it helped me gain a more sophisticated perspective. It’s important to realize the subtle factors that must be considered before taking the picture, which will lead to capturing a more meaningful photograph.

I enjoyed the trip to Rubin Museum of Art very much. I have never knew that Himalayan’s religion is Buddhism. The museum features exhibitions of historical and contemporary photography focused on the Himalayas. There is one thing I like the most. Which is The Place of Provenance: Regional Styles in Tibetan Painting explores. I think this painting is very amazing because it is full of detailed about the place of provenance. It is also very incredible that this painting was kept so nicely!

I really enjoyed the Baruch voices performance. I thought it was really cool to see those talented actors act out a skit that was written by other people. Although they make it look easy to perform, it certainly isn’t simple. It’s tough to express the correct emotions when the skit doesn’t represent your character, but they did a great job doing so. I really enjoyed watching them, as they were able to make laugh and made the act really interesting. I believe that the upcoming freshman will enjoy this performance next year as well.
