Having not visited a museum in ages, I was compellingly astonished during my visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art this past week. I had expected a mundane and boring day at the museum but I was quite wrong. The sheer amount of artwork and history present at the museum baffled my mind as I began asking myself questions such as how was all this art moved into the museum and how were all these paintings and sculptures created. One profound impression this visit to the museum left on me was the power of the aesthetically pleasing paintings and artwork. The paintings, particularly the paintings of the classical era, left a lasting impression on my portrayal and understanding of art and aesthetics. The proportions and emotions of the subjects thoroughly impressed me and made me wonder how such masterpieces were created. Similar thoughts appeared in my head throughout the day as I gained a deeper understanding of art and its impact on human civilization. I hope that one day I would be able to wield such aesthetic power and impact in whatever it is that I do. I would definitely revisit this museum next time and hopefully be able to learn even more about the world of aesthetically pleasing paintings.
