Whitney Museum

The Whitney museum was a great experience for us all. We went as an English class and learned more about modern art and its importance in society.As you enter the exhibits, there are many things to notice. The lighting was perfect. For most of the places, the light wasn’t too bright or too dim. I noticed that for the exhibits where they had T.V.’s the lights were off so it can draw attention to the program rather than anything else. This helps the guests really look at the main point then just ignoring it. They also grabbed the guests attention by raising the volume outloud for people to catch on. Other exhibits such as the design with the barbed wire, they did the complete opposite. The had the light much brighter than usual because it isn’t something that calls attention by itself. It’s merely just barbed wire. It didn’t have bright lights from the T.V. or an sound to grab attention to it so the lighting really helped in that case. The people at the museum were very put together. There was a man with a scarf wrapped around his neck with one side hanging on each end. He had these rectangular glasses and boot cut khakis. He also threw on a light sweater and had on some shiny black loafers. He was sitting beside a lady that was well put together with cowboy ankle boots, skinny jeans and a fitted top. Everyone was pretty much dressed the same. They had the same trends of fashion. Overall I loved the museum. They put everything together well and it’s wonderful to explore.
