w.telisma – Freshman Seminar Fall 17 LC04

Visit to the MOMA

Wilkens Telisma.

This was my first visit to the MOMA and was amazing. I anticipated the experience to be fun because I was going with friends, but the museum itself was fascinating. There was a vast amount of diversity, so many different exhibits and styles of Art. There was so much that I was unable to visit every exhibit. I went to the MOMA expecting to be wowed by stary night and Picassos and of course I was, but I was surprisingly intrigued by this picture…

I love the contrast between dark and bright colors, it just captured my attention. It seemed to me that there is a profiled portrait of a man on the canvas, it just saw happened that I was the only one who saw it that way. This is another reason why I loved this piece, it can be perceived in so many different ways every time I look I find another possibly recognizable object. Sadly it slipped my mind to take note of the title and artist, but it is an amazing piece. Although it was quite enjoyable to look at this piece the most thought-provoking piece was this sculpture…..

Pardon the caption but that was the first thought that popped into my head when I saw this. It was simply the most interesting and confusing piece of art that I’ve ever seen, and there will always be something to say about it. This visit will help me not only in my first semester at Baruch but throughout my entire future because admiring and acquiring knowledge on art is an essential part of being a properly cultured individual. It always helps to have something thought-provoking to talk about in any situation one may find themselves in. Whether it’s hanging out with friends or interviewing for an internship, and If that topic just so happens to be art it will immediately elevate your stature in the eyes of the person you’re conversating with.

LEXICON!!

The lexicon GIM was very entertaining and interesting. I was looking for a club that was both involved in school evens and was related to my major and Lexicon is exactly that. Being a part of the finance department of Lexicon would be getting the best of both worlds. Lexicon also includes Marketing and Management departments which will help me get acquainted with different aspects of the business world because it is the only student run business in the school.

The current members of lexicon seemed like very nice, relaxed, and focused people. I believe lexicon would be the perfect environment to help me grow and learn as a freshman in college. The president of the club just so happens to be my FRO teacher, so maybe he’ll teach me how to become the next president. But I have to be honest my favorite person at the meeting was the leader of the finance department he is craziest and most energetic person I’ve met so far in Baruch.

The overal mood of the meeting was very positive, they spoke of accepting all different types of personalities and having a strong community that works together to create the best yearbook ever. The leaders and the community of lexicon are going to be a great resource to help me grow as a college student and to learn about the business world. Lexicon is filled with smart and driven members that will motivate me to continue to do my best in college.

I’ve always been somewhat interested in photography but never had the chance to explore that interest. At lexicon the photography department allows amateurs to participate too, I may finally get a chance to explore my liking for photography. And finally I love the felling of accomplishing a great task, so the fact that the whole point of lexicon is to create and sell an amazing yearbook is just an added bonus.
