The Road of the War Prisoners
by: Keith Ilagan, Shirley Qian, Deepika Roa, Xiao Liang
The experience was quite interesting since we were the only people in the museums. While talking about these pieces we surprisingly found a lot of fascinating details. The works that we analyzed became clearer as we gained momentum in our conversations. We learned that art has many interpretations as each of us brought up different points that we kept building upon.
Her Hips Don’t Lie
by: Jessica Pinto, Nick Arniotes, Jenny Hynes, Kwan Holloway, Matt Rosenthal
(Read in a snobby British accent) This experience was utterly life-changing. We learned that art is present in more things than tea and crumpets, but not more than scones. I learned that my classmates are bloody ‘ilarious yet indubitably intelligent. ‘Twas a pleasure to partake in these glorious festivities. In the words of my nizzle, fo shizzle, Snoop Doggy Dogg, “Drop it like it’s hot.”

The Adventures of Viola Pushkarova
by: Erica Kwong, Corey Tam, Frank Yeh
This experience was eye-opening. We finally understand how to understand art. It was a difficult, trying task; however, it was very special. Nowadays, we can talk about art more freely and more naturally.

Web of Life
by: Carina Gomez, Martin John, Neelima Dosakayala, Anna Fyalkowski
We learned that we can appreciate art a lot more if we truly examine art with an observant and analytical eye. Everyone was a huge help for each had a unique comment that added to the discussion and introduced things others have neither seen nor thought of. Art is good, very good indeed. =)

The Shattuck Family, with Grandmother, Mother and Baby William
by: Yoo Na Cho, Bernadette McCrann, Josephine O’Malley
Generally, it was a fulfilling experience for all three of us. Knowing the time period of the painting helped us understand the motives behind the subject matter because we understood the history surrounding the setting of the piece. Some of us knew more of the history behind the piece, since it was created around the Civil War, while the rest of us were more artistically orientated and knew more about the technique and style of the painting. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and were able to gain different perspectives on the painting.

Macaulay Honors College Night at the Museum
by: Annalise Armenta, Ryan Livote, And Victoria Manna
The experience was very enriching and helped us to be able to talk about and interpret art in a group setting. We learned that there are multiple ways to evaluate and interpret different genres of art.

The Lost Pleiad
by: Shirley Yau, Ariel Yuan, Aishwarya Bhatia, Bhavana Lalwani, Xiaoji Zou
We had an amazing experience at the Brooklyn Museum. We were able to interact with people from different CUNY campuses. It was interesting because we questioned and examined the works of art that were made centuries ago. We learned how to decipher art by talking about it. In addition, having various inputs helped better understand the piece of art.
The Boy With a Floral Garland in His Hair
by: Helen Yue, Emily Yeung, Christina Zhu
The experience was surprisingly pleasant. We learned about adding onto each other’s thoughts and observations. We also learned that art does not have to be definite. We can all have our own free interpretations and opinions about a piece of art.

The Sisters
by: Patrick Loi, Linette Prasad, Anastasia Spiridonova
This was very challenging. If we had more time, we could do more with this piece. We learned how to see different emotions in a simple painting.
Two Ivans and Oksana
by: David Sasson, Aaron Agarunov, Pauline Margulis
At the Night at the Museum, we decided to analyze Viola Pushkarova’s “Two Ivans and Oksana.” We discussed how the artist depicted the challenges that were faced in a typical family during the Communist regime. Working together, we were each able to bring our own thoughts and discussions to the table and familiarize ourselves with the artist’s style. We also grasped the basics of using the software to create a movie clip about our painting.
