On Tuesday, October 22nd, I went to the Brooklyn Museum with the rest of the Macaulay class. We went to the museum on a coach bus and it was really nice. The seats were really comfortable, and we played scribbl.io to pass the time. When we got there, we sat in a very nice theater and listened to the dean speak about what the night was going to bring.
After all the announcements, we were off to look at the art. We were the only ones in the museum, and we were only able to look at the art on the fifth floor. I thought we were going to be able to explore and look at more, but there was a lot on that one floor. Each room had its own theme, and they were filled with incredible art. I really like looking at the paintings in the first room and the landscape art in the third room. I thought it was really cool to see a piece of artwork from Robert on display. It was two of his flower photographs on ceramic plates.
We were also able to go into a storage room where they hold lots of pieces of art, from sculptures and paintings in, to random objects from everyday life, like a toaster and a hairbrush from 2007, that one day will probably be on display to show what we would use in everyday life, the same way we look at objects from the past to see how they would’ve lived.
Besides looking at the art, I really enjoyed being able to spend time with my friends and meeting other Macaulay students from other campuses.
