Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DFB

FRO museum

i went to the metropolitan museum of art for Art and visited the Egyptian and Greek section. this wasn’t the first time so not much emotional impact, but was an interesting trip.  we focused on learning Egyptian temples, coffins, and stone statues.  the temples and statues were large and had overwhelming grandiose power.  The Greek section had stone statues but with more exaggerated detail.   later, we visited the western art section.  we saw art that changes styles and emphasis depending on the time period and artist. there were many forms of art ranging from podiatrist to landscape and the emphasis changed from religious and stylistic to realism.  the whole experience was fun because I was able to view different culture and form of art.  Later, if I have time, I might visit the metropolitan museum of art again to get the full experience rather than a rushed tour for class
