A lot of the rooms show different portraits. Most of them are of upper class individuals, but there are some people of lower economic classes depicted as well. In the same way that the Brooklyn museum places importance and pays attention to people from different walks of life, it is important that for the people…

I am a math major and I saw many paintings using different shapes or abstractions which are relevant especially to geometry when looking at how each of the different shapes are used to make art. Also the abstractions demonstrate the abstract theories used in math and the dynamic processes used to solve problems.

I would relate my current major, marketing, to my experience at Night at the Museum from the advertising that goes into it. Each piece is like its own advertisement. The whole gallery is like a company. The pieces draw people’s attention to the museum, increasing the amount of guests that visit. This is just like…

I found value in all the artworks in this exhibit, but one that stood out to me was John Frederick Kensett’s “Lake George” (1870). When I first saw this landscape, it really took my breath away! Then, looking closer, I was able to admire the soft details of the bushes in the foreground, the realistic,…

When I saw A Storm in the Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rosalie by Albert Bierstadt, I felt completely pulled into the scene. The dark storm clouds rolling over the bright mountains reminded me of times when life feels uncertain but still full of beauty. It felt like standing in the middle of something powerful — like…

This experience reinforced my previous ideas about museums because you can see a bunch of different perspectives of issues and emotions. You can also get a glimpse into different cultures to see how other people ma do or view things differently. I would encourage other Macaulay students to visit museums because it allows them to…
