Reflection
Niagara by Louis Rémy Mignot jumped out of the canvas. The painting felt so real to me that it appealed to all my senses. I felt like I was standing at the edge of the huge Niagara Falls with the wind and salt water rushing across my face. I could hear the sounds of the…

Today’s night at the museum greatly reinforced my ideas about museums. Prior to tonight I had already thought that museums were a great place to expose yourself to other cultures, history, and just things that you would never typically see. Today helped reinforce this by adding another layer to museums, which is a social aspect.…

I liked the art piece titled “Web of Life”. I’ve been thinking a lot about the circle of life and the way the universe controls things beyond our reach.

The piece of artwork stood out to me the most because of the way the artist drew each person. The artist were all sitting in different position each doing their own thing, yet their all sharing a…

Immediately when I got out of the elevator and walked into the first room, the first thing that caught my eye was the Niagara fall. This is called “Niagara”, an oil on canvas by Louis Remy Mignot. The vibrant colors and details of the waterfall grasp my eyes to look at it and walk closer…

I can relate my current (intended) major to my experience at Night at the Museum in a few ways. I am planning to major in Television and Radio, and being in a media-related major requires a lot of analysis skills when it comes to art. Film is largely about using all elements of art to…
