At first, we all thought the experience would be boring. However, we could not have been more wrong. The art styles at the Brooklyn Museum were far different from what we ever experienced in any other art museums. We saw many different paintings and sculptures and it increased our appreciation for the American arts. In general, we learned that art could be very upfront or very abstract and requires much interpretation to understand it. In addition, everyone interpreted art in different ways because we all had different opinions and perspectives on the artworks we saw. It was interesting how we looked at the painting first and thought of ideas before reading the plaque which removes distractions of what is fact and what is interpretation.
