I went to the Whitney Museum. It was a very enjoyable experience. I got to explore the careers of many different artists and painter. I saw the way they expressed themselves through their paintings. It was for an English project but I got to explore the interior and the beauty the museum holds. Even the elevator and staircases showcased some kind of artwork. The building was shaped in a way that allows viewers to get a whole new experience.
This opened my eyes to different career paths. I necessarily won’t be pursuing a career in art but I got to see this through the lives of people who already done that. The different painters whose work was exhibited in the museum all have different back stories that accompany their work. Some wanted to politically express their views, and painted nationalistic artwork. Others wanted to outline a problem with their society and get the message across through visual aid. Some just wanted to take their ideas and put them on a canvas. All these had a similar enough effect to make them the paintings they are today.
The Whitney Museum is famous for this. Although I didn’t gain any physical career help through examining art, I picked up the way these careers were made. These artists had a vision that they would see their dreams come true and were able to pursue it successfully. This is what I gained from my trip to the museum.
