Ride for Liberty-The Fugitive Slaves
by: Tetiana Vasyleva, Marissa Garzetta, Christina Dellaventura, Vincent Bradford Jost II
We learned that conversation is a powerful tool in analyzing art. Observations and opinions of others can spark more ideas and various conclusions that can only be created by a group.

Hester Street
by: Anila Thomas, Nabanita Hossain, Sabeena Ramnanan, Asheley Siewnarine
Reflecting on Hester Street by George Benjamin Luks proved to be a rewarding experience. As a group, we shared ideas and interpretations of this painting with one another. In doing so, we learned to look at art with a multifaceted perspective while still respecting its time of origin and what boundaries this time frame may pose on our interpretations. Our video exemplifies how to to understand art while still questioning its underlying meaning.

Tea Cups & Slavery
by: Emma Medalla, Sherry Oommen, Margaret Wang, Christine Yan
This experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Who gets to visit the museum when after it closes down? We were able to communicate how we felt about the artwork much easier because we were able to talk at the museum. Each person had different interpretations and ideas about the art pieces and were were able to learn more from each other.
Fallen Bierstadt
by: Jeremy Brown, Juliana Emmanuelli, David Rafalko, Sheriff Akanmu
It was a very interesting experience to be at a museum after hours – and to be the only ones allowed in. Having cross-campus interactions with other students was a unique opportunity that we otherwise would not have had. Furthermore, through viewing the arts, we were able to share our observations and perspectives with each other on the pieces in the museum.

“July” (1956) by Larry Rivers
by: William Newman, Jakob Rehmann, and Casey Bolles
It was interesting to visit Brooklyn Museum with only our Macaulay peers. We were dubious before we arrived, but enjoyed the experience of having discussions about art.

The Marriage Bed by Edwina Sandys
by: Andrew McAllister, Petya Georgiev, Christine Zhou, Stephin Jose
The experience was very interesting. While we were all intrigued by the piece, we found that it had a different meaning to each one of us. We all agreed that the piece symbolized the two different sides of marriage, the good and the bad. Through this experience, we learned how art can be interpreted is multiple different ways, yet have essentially the same universal meaning. We learned that we can look at the same piece and see both similar and different meanings.

Hudson at the Tappanz Zee
by: Alan Chen, Jian Cao, Samantha Chiu, Josephine Guo
The experience of learning art is fascinating. It was a great practice on how to describe art and work in a team. It was also great to learn how to make a video.

Prairie on Fire, 1847
by: Merlyn George; Susan Gerlovina; Elizabeth Hobenson; Tasnia Mahmud; Tatiana Malkin
A picture is worth a thousand words. The more you stare at it, the more you discover about its story. It is interesting how quickly one can analyze art without prior experience.
