The Arts in NYC Fall 2012

This trip was my first trip to the MoMa.  I’ve been to the Met but from what I’ve heard, the art and the museum itself is completely different.  Immediately after walking into the lobby, I knew that it was true.  There is a section of the wall where you can write on slips what you […]

When looking at my planner, a few days ago I saw that I had to post about the MoMa by Thursday. Having people coming over the weekend and having classes in the afternoon on weekdays, I’d thought I’d visit the MoMa sometime at night. It would be a nice calming stroll where I could look […]

For the past two years, I have grown to be a fan of Moma; partly because I was thinking of majoring in art of metal designing back in high school for a short time. But, I was never enthusiastic or brave enough to visit there all alone. This Saturday was my first time visiting Museum […]

I visited the Museum of Modern Art Monday afternoon on the 17th of September. When we discussed modern and abstract art in class for the past 2 weeks, I thought I understood why people made abstract art. When I walked out of the MoMA and thought about what I saw, I realized that I really […]

Last Friday I went to MoMA for the first time in my life, feeling apprehensive about the intellectual works of art that are referenced to being at MoMA. As I walked around, I noticed the various artists categorized by floors and rooms and the different styles of art that each of them had. From enormous […]

My visit to MoMA was planned, delayed, postponed, and then rushed. Safe to say, scheduling conflicts left me with less time to really let MoMA sink in. Also, going alone made the experience all the more difficult. I would have to come up with interpretations on my own. Having never been to MoMA before, at […]

The past week I have visited MoMA for the second time in my life, after a year or two long “break”. Back then, as a high school student, I was practically forced into going by my parents and their friends who were visiting NYC from Canada. I remember feeling confused while looking at the randomly […]

Museums are never really my thing. I’ve been to a few, but I never liked any of them and I don’t even recall the names. Anyways, I went to MOMA this past weekend. I met up with my friend, and he took me directly to the abstract section, which we are supposed to look at. […]

I visited the Museum of Modern Art on a disgustingly rainy Tuesday afternoon. It wasn’t empty, per se, but I’ve definitely seen it more crowded. In retrospect, I probably should have gone in there with a plan of action or something. I got there and didn’t really know where to begin, so basically I picked […]

Hello Everyone! Here is a link to one of our readings for Thursday’s class (click on the file titled ‘baruch’). Also, pictures of the same reading below. Also, a quick note that you are NOT expected to read her novel “Until You See Me”–she may discuss how she got the idea for this book in […]
