Our experience at the Brooklyn Museum was very eye-opening. It forced us to look at pieces of art in a new way and analyze specific aspects alone. Sometimes in a museum, one is tempted to take in the whole image and try to understand the story. However, when we analyzed components of works alone, the story we created in our heads became much more interesting. We often left with a lot of questions about the pieces, but that feeling wasn’t necessarily bad. It made us curious and even more tempted to explore the area around us. We look forward to doing this again on our own time.
