The experience was a really great chance to bond with fellow Macaulay students as well as look at art in ways that we have not looked at before. Looking at the art and stopping to actually talk about the art gave us a chance to explore what we have learned about art in relation to history and allowed us to view art more in depth than before. We learned that art has some form of a motive and a meaning behind it, and although it may be hidden or obscure at first. It is the task of the viewer to interpret these meanings through the different aspects of the paintings.
