Visiting the Brooklyn Museum was very memorable for all of us. The exclusivity combined with the aura of the art made our first Macaulay common event worthwhile. On our exhibition, we were exposed to art in different eras and learned many new things. We realized that art is everywhere from the jars people used on their dining room tables in the 1800s to the oversized circular corn calendar from the Aztec era. Collectively, we learned a new appreciation of art. As we analyzed and discussed the art in front of us, we were exposed to different viewpoints and interpretations of both the description of the artists and other classmates. This experience matured the way we perceive art and made going to museums much more enjoyable.
