As a Catholic, I thought it was a very power powerful strong, meaningful way to interpret Maria. It involved, a strong emotion of belonging, and it helped me feel part of the museum and my world. Title: The Virgin By: Joseph Stella

An art piece that really stood out to me was Niagara, by Louis Remy Mignot, which shows the strong waves clashing down below the waterfall. This reminded me of the times I would go on trips to go hiking with my family and friends outside of New York, seeing small waterfalls, reminding me how peaceful…

The painting that I chose is called Brooklyn Abstraction:4 Artists4 Walls from JOSÉ PARLÁ, MAYA HAYUK, KENNEDY YANKO and LEON POLK SMITH.

As soon as I saw this painting, I felt an immediate connection, as it evoked the snowy winters of my childhood. One of my favorite memories is of my siblings and me playing in the snow, having fun in those cold days. This artwork brought me back to those delightful winter days. Unfortunately, due to…

This piece was very moving as it highlighted Shirley Chisholms courage and determination. She fought for her place in politics when people tried to force her out. Bisa Butler’s quilt captures her strength and impact in making a step towards equality. She uses colorful fabric which probably signifies her journey in finding her spot at…
