The experience was enjoyable because I got to meet new people and become friends with them. Also we employed teamwork both at the museum and today in uploading this video. I also enjoyed viewing some new and interesting art pieces at the museum.

The Peaceable Kingdom

by: Michael Franco, Odette Kasavi, Gloria Safdieh, Renee Saff


Our experience at the Brooklyn Museum made us realize that all art has a multitude of dimensions that people often don’t pick up on by merely glancing at a painting. We used to hastily walk through museums with a goal of getting to see every possible artwork. By doing this, we now know that we weren’t getting a full experience. What makes art beautiful is that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Billions of people can look at the same painting, but everyone sees something else.

The End of the Working Day: a Conversation

by: Jennifer Ulloa, Charles Bachmann, Lucas Alejandro, Katherine Sanominsky


The experience of going to the museum after regular hours was definitely interesting. I feel like it would have been better to have a little bit more practice talking about visual art before recording our impressions. When I listened to it through the second time, I thought that it sounded better than I was expecting, but there were definitely still parts that made me cringe. I think being forced, in a way, to look at the art and really think about it was a cool exercise, and it definitely made me analyze the artwork more carefully than I normally would have.

Young Woman Overtaken by a Storm

by: Corrin Chow, Adriana Cushnie, Brook Dahl, Tiffany Christian


Our video is about a conversation focusing on Chevalier Féréol de Bonnemaison’s painting Young Woman Overtaken by a Storm. The piece was painted in 1799 during the wake of the French Revolution. Its stormy background attests to the sociopolitical turmoil overtaking the country as a result of the movement to break away from monarchy. As a way to exercise our artistic conversationalist skills, our group attempts to decipher de Bonnemaison’s artistic intent.

A Resting Place of Prisoners

by: Palwasha Syar, Nisma Zakria


This experience was very enriching. In the beginning we didn’t have a lot to say about most of the paintings, however, we soon learned to assess each painting with a critical eye. My team and I were able to analyze and appreciate the paintings when looking at the meaning behind it. We held educating conversations with the other students and we learned a lot of new information about the paintings through out the Brooklyn museum.
