Oftentimes, when I think of a museum I think about dinosaur fossils, and looking at ancient artifacts that the Mayans and Aztecs would use as that is what I have become conformed to. Nonetheless, seeing artifacts that I had just seen online finally come to reality left me in a state of awe. Older technology…

When I see the painting that are on large canvases like “A storm in the Rocky Mountains”, stepping back you see the grand image but when you look closer you can see the individual brush strokes and detail that goes into everything. The tiny bits of white that add highlights to the rocks and trees,…

I like seeing the ocean and the waves and the way that the light reflected off the waves and it collided with the sunset in the sky. It painted a picture of freedom, the ability to look out into the abyss and just dream.

One art that stood out to me was A Morning Snow-Hudson River by George Bellows. I was incredibly awed by the shading and dimension in the painting, even though majority of the painting is in one color. I was even more in awe because I could see the physical strokes of paint on the canvas.

this experience reinforced my belief that museums are a great place to go to to learn more about culture and art and also experience a great variety of art. i would recommend this to other macaulay students because this is a great place to expand your horizons

The title of the artwork is Sunset at Sea by Thomas Moran. This work invoked strong feelings in me and was comforting. The light coming through the clouds above the murky and rocky sea creates this idea of optimism when things get hard and dark. Not only is it a beautiful painting but it is…
