Enrichment Workshop
My trip to the Rubin Museum is not one I will particularly remember in years to come. All my life I have pictured art as being amazing portraits of people or landscapes, I do not really appreciate or have the level of understanding to find a photograph as being art. Seeing pictures on the wall knowing that all it took was a click of a button and basically some lighting adjustments do not stand out to me as being raw talent. I did however find what was happening within the photographs interesting. Seeing photographs of the olden times in New York mainly stood out to me, I enjoyed analyzing the dress sense of the era. Furthermore, it is fair to say that I am not profound admirer of modern art. I would much rather see a remarkable sketch of the New York City skyline than simply a photograph of it with a spokesperson trying to convince me that what I am looking at is art. If somebody has to tell me what to specifically look for within a piece, it is not very effective. That being said, there are people out there who appreciate and enjoy analyzing this type of work and if I were to go again, I would try my best to understand what the photographer/artist was trying to portray.
