Every time I have been to a museum, especially with a lot of artwork, I thought it was pretty boring and I would skim through a lot of the descriptions of the pieces. But now, ever since I had my required museum visit at the MoMA and read through everything, I realized I learned so…

This museum experience is much more of a community experience than other museum experiences I’ve had before in the past. Since I knew a lot of the people around me, it was an enjoyable experience viewing art with people as a group experience, sharing our thoughts as well.

I enjoyed the film exhibit by Marclay. At first I was confused as to what was happening but I realized it was different movies synced up and they would cut when a character entered through a door. I’m interested in majoring in film so it reminded me a lot of what we learned in class…

I believe that I would like to see more American art based on discriminatory aspects such as BLM and Asian American hatred during the COVID pandemic. I believe a tackle into more modern situations would be interesting to view in forms of art.
