Today I went to the Museum of Modern Art in NYC! I normally would not go to a museum for fun, however, when I got my schedule and saw I had to take art history, I had to see what all this fuss was about. Coming from the Bronx, the only kind of art I really knew about was music, especially form artists like A Boogie and Cardi B. When I first stepped in to the museum, the piece of art that really caught my eye was “Starry Night” painted by Vincent Van Gogh. This was a very interesting piece for me to see because I always heard about it in previous art classes from high school, and to actually see it is a cool thing to do. I am not a huge fan of art, but when my friends told me they were going, I figured I had nothing to lose, and maybe I would even enjoy it, and look into art a little more. That never ended up happening, but it did help me appreciate art, and made me a little bit more interested in my art history. There was this one exhibit where they had a movie about space and air crafts, and that was interesting because I never expected a museum to have those kind of visuals, and it was something different from just looking at paintings on a wall. The museum was also very empty, and there was lots of space left between each work of art, and that really helped emphasize the art works, and it wasn’t overcrowded with people which really allowed me enjoy everything for the little time I had. I would really suggest checking out any museums you can if you are ever in the city because there really are cool things that you may discover!
