Portrait of A Family on a Terrace
by: Stephanie Yakoubovitch, Kelin Walsh, Volmir Zavodovsky, Caitlin Larsen
We learned how to work as a team, and each of our views added valuable creative input into the appreciation of the piece by the other group members.
Everlasting Waterfall
by: Allen Kim, Gautam Ramasubramanian, Thomas Saw Aung
We had a unique and fun experience, creating a video together. It was our first time using GarageBand and iMovie; however, we had a great and comical time doing this team-building activity. We learned how to appreciate art through this technological medium, and met new people along the way.
Stick – The Legacy
by: Stephen Giglia, Anthony Hess, Jessica Kweon, Lisa Maldonado, Malavika Attur, Courtney Edwards
It was an interesting experience, and it allowed us all to make new friends and learn the basics of art and iMovie.

My Children
by: Hyeok Jung Kim, Samantha Chiu, Michelle Coleman, Jonathan William Parecki
The experience was a really great chance to bond with fellow Macaulay students as well as look at art in ways that we have not looked at before. Looking at the art and stopping to actually talk about the art gave us a chance to explore what we have learned about art in relation to history and allowed us to view art more in depth than before. We learned that art has some form of a motive and a meaning behind it, and although it may be hidden or obscure at first. It is the task of the viewer to interpret these meanings through the different aspects of the paintings.

Discussion about “July”
by: Aissatou Diallo, Lisa Huang, Victoria Lee-Ngai, Grace Han
Night at the Brooklyn Museum showed us that we could each connect to works of art that we initially thought had no relevance to our lives. Having never had the opportunity before to discuss art so openly, our group often surprised ourselves with what we could analyze about the various paintings, sculptures, and installations. Whether our discussion stemmed from our personal connections to the artists’ subject matter or from something interesting another member had said, we found a great appreciation for the pieces in the livelier and more vocal viewing environment. One piece in particular, July by Larry Rivers, caught our group’s attention and stimulated a discussion about our childhoods; we found that we could all relate to this particular painting because it reminded us of our own memories of Julys.

Blossom
by: Rose Yao, Daniel Vargas, Olivia Nadler, K McCallum
“I didn’t talk much. But it was fun.” – Daniel
“There are most likely not many ghosts in that museum.” – Rose
“I decided to ditch the Media Arts Workshop, so Kay got to put words in my mouth.” – Olivia
“Rose and I went ghost hunting. Daniel shook his head and sighed. Olivia was just following us around with a lovely smile on her face. It was a pretty hilarious experience, from which I learned absolutely nothing and enjoyed every moment of it.” – Kay

Ivan Mestrovic by Malvina Hoffman
by: Eric Lau, Yasmin Jones, Norine Chan, Sreshta Paranji
Our visit to the Brooklyn Museum was quite an eye-opening experience. For the majority of our group, who had never been to this museum, and even for those who had been there before, having to analyze and discuss the artwork allowed us to explore the diversity of art and its nuances. We realized how much we could learn about a time period from observing its art and also how telling a work of art is about its artist. Our group also was surprised and pleased with how well the group dynamic played out and our ability to play off of one another’s opinions and ideas. Overall, we are thankful we had this experience and we will look forward to viewing art in the future with an enlightened and engaged perspective.

Boy with a Floral Garland in His Hair
by: Lisa Li, Nabil Ahmed Khatri, Aiman Chughtai, Gurprit Kaur
This was an extremely interesting and eye-opening experience. It showed us to think about art in ways we’ve never really considered before. We learned to take art beyond face value. Although we couldn’t use our own commentary, using another group’s audio gave us some unique insight about how other groups went about their analysis. We followed a similar process: brainstorming questions and then trying to come up with answers to those questions. Although we found that many of our questions went unanswered, it was still a challenging thought exercise.
Shout out once again to Helen, Emily and Christina!

Violet Fishing by John Singer Sargent
by: Man Wei (Joanna) Huang, Alex Lam, Lisa Puran
This was the first time any of us analyzed a painting as closely as we did. We learned about the little details that can change our overall perspective about a painter and his/her work.
Art can be a simple object to look at or can be intellectually stimulating. We learned that each of us have different views and tastes for art but we can all have a conversation where we examine each other’s views and build upon them.
