For this academic blog post, I decided to go to the Museum of Modern Art. I like art, so I figured it would be fun to go to an art museum for an academic post. My 2 favorite artist are Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso, so I knew I wanted to find artwork from them. I went to the 5th floor of the museum and found a piece from Picasso, called “Harlequin”. Before I found out Picasso made this piece, I knew he had to be the artist behind it because it had interesting shapes combined into a picture, with no recognizable image. Another piece I found at MoMA was van Gogh’s “Starry Night”. “Starry Night” became my favorite piece of artwork when I was in the first grade learning about van Gogh, and it still remains my favorite until this day. Overall, MoMA was a nice, quite, relaxing experience, and it was nice to have a break from college stress and enjoy looking at art.
