Freshman Seminar Fall 17 LC16

FRO Blog Post #2

On Sunday, I went to the Museum of Modern Art for my academic workshop. Even though museums are not really my thing, I still get to learn a thing or two about their different kinds of exhibits and galleries. Museums actually have a lot of interesting things in them and you just have to give them the chance to prove themselves. At the MoMA, they presented lots of galleries and objects that were made in history by famous people. Every floor had galleries, but they were each represented by a different time period in history. Also, there were many different types of painting shown on each floor. There were abstract paintings, oil paintings, watercolor paintings, surrealism, and many more. The exhibit on the 6th floor was the one that caught my eye out of all the floors because it was about fashion and I prefer to look at clothing more than paintings and objects. It showed how clothing was designed back then and comparing it to how it’s made today with different styles and materials. A particular gallery that stood out from the rest for me was Pablo Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. This stood out to me because you don’t really understand the purpose of the painting and that’s what makes it more intriguing. Overall, I had a nice time looking at different galleries and exhibits from this museum and I would definitely come back someday.
