Discussion on Still Life by Schenleck

by: Keo Chau, Wallace Law, Michael Shin, Philip To


We think this experience was eye-opening. We learned how to appreciate art better and ask questions. Growing up in New York City, we are exposed to many different museums. However, it is not uncommon to see a crowded and packed museum. Being able to be at the Brooklyn Museum at night allowed us to experience certain pieces of work more in depth. Furthermore, spending valuable time with peers allowed me to incorporate their ideas into my own, broadening my knowledge.

George Washington, 1796

This was a very enriching experience. We learned about art in an interactive way and got to learn more about our classmates at the same time. We were able to combine art and technology to experience art in another level.

It was a really good experience. Not only did we only did we learn how to make a movie, but we also learned how to have intellectual conversations about art.

Night at the Museum

by: Michael Mamiye, Mosie Schrem, Marc Saadia


The experience was much greater than we expected. We never had the chance to experience and enjoy the art the way we did that night. We are happy we had the chance to learn together. We can all agree that we are able to have an intellectual conversation about art together that we never though possible.

All work no talk

by: Sara Shafer, Isaac Pulatov, Dory Mintz.


The biggest thing I learned is that the facts behind art really don’t matter. Art is supposed provoke emotions, and as long as I feel those emotions, art has done its job. If I don’t know certain facts, than the artist wanted me to view the painting without that knowledge, to enhance the emotions I’m supposed to experience.

A young man blowing his torch to light a candle

by: Raymond Huang


You can never know the true intention of what the artist meant by their artwork unless you ask them. The true meaning of many paintings of the past are lost. All we have left are titles of paintings and interpretations from others.

Ghana Coffin from Brooklyn Museum

by: Rachel Furhang


I learned that not everyone has the same taste in art, and that even you do not personally like a piece, there are still many interesting things that you can learn from the piece and say about it. When you just judge an art piece by your first impressions, you may miss out on many valuable lessons.

Apple Gathering

by: Andrew Chen, Stephen Ng, Nicholas Lee


The experience was entertaining in general. For my friends and me, it was fun to talk about art as if we had an educational background in art. But i guess it is the intentions that count. If this was an assignment to get to know my classmates better than it was a great use of time. In terms of learning about art, we made our own discoveries about art but we di not learn any really formal terms in art. All in all it was just a great night but not too educational. It was more social than educational.

Untitled 1958

by: Winnie Yu and Jessamyn Sutton


The Night at the Museum gave us an experience to view works of art without the pressures of society. Being at a museum at night allowed us to reflect on different pieces in manners which we otherwise may never have tried, like laying down in the center of an exhibit to stare at hieroglyphics on the ceiling. The emptiness of the museum made each viewing much more personal.

Working with a new person that we had never met before gave us the opportunity to reflect and express our thoughts without being judged. It allowed us to look into someone else’s perception of art from a completely different background.
