Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DTG

Museum of Modern Art

I went to the Museum of Modern Art, and I wasn’t expecting anything that I would enjoy. At first I saw a couple of paintings, that weren’t anything special. They seemed to be inspired from something that would show up in your dreams. As I walked on, a couple piece caught my eye. It seemed like they just had clothes on mannequins, nothing special. But as I viewed them closely, I saw many pieces that I can relate to. Such pieces were the sport jerseys, which included Micheal Jordan’s famous “23” Bulls Jersey, which had a big significance on why I enjoy Basketball today. Also, one piece by Richard Malone, titled “Jumpsuit” featured a very unique one piece that would certainly catch plenty of looks if worn in public. Another part included some boots and heals from designer Martin Margiela, whose work I am somewhat familiar with. Being in the Museum has open my eyes, and allowed me to realize that not all art is boring, and that some may actually be relevant to me. What I learned from this experience was, I shouldn’t be so quick to cancel something out without trying it. At Baruch, I will be open to trying new things, something I probably wouldnt have done if I had not gone the museum.
