I think I would encourage other Macaulay students to visits museums. Specifically I think museums hold art both dated and modern that pertains to our current generation. Despite the saying of art like those from Southeastern Alaska they allow us to envision the past and reflect on the ideals that held true to them. In the case of this Pueblo jar, and wool and cotton there was a diverse range of images, techniques, etc needed to sculpt it. Through this, we are able to see the preservation and need for cultural heritage especially as it pertained to natives. Comparatively, more modern art reflects the attempt at humans trying to become more grounded in reality. With the depictions of things like a Tulip armchair modern art reflects the attempts of moving away from obsession with the internet and becoming more grounded in reality. In short these messages remain prevalent despite the advancement of time. For students especially, we should try to reconnect with the lineages that have cohered our existence.
