A Night to Remember
by: Carla Billena, Lesia Dazzell, Elisah Edwards, Ling Jiang, Lauren Poon, Luis Carrasco, Madeline Wong
Art is captured motion. As we walked through the Brooklyn Museum, we didn’t know what to pick from the verity of paintings and artifacts offered . Walking through the halls one painting: “July”, by Larry Rivers, drew us all in. Some of us where confused and some wanted to know why it seemed unfinished. We felt that our minds found the answer through the interpretative community.

Shooting for the Beef
by: Nicolas Yehya, Alasdair McLean, Eric Luu, Ahmad Shamulzai
Analyzing a work of art, with new friends, in a closed museum, is truly an amazing experience. We each had something unique to say and our own unique perspectives. We bonded through discussing an early American painting of a cow awaiting its death. The frame, author’s intentions, and our curiosity allowed us to record a memorable night.

Emblems of the Civil War by Alexander Pope, 1888
by: Lora Pavlovich, Vishnu Nair, Sonia Marinovic, Mariam Sleiman
When you see this piece, it’s obvious that this picture is about war and patriotism. The painter has a dynamic use of colors, and in contrast keeps the background very dark with Phthalocyanine Green. The color of the flag hung on the antlers along with a musket is rich. The blue, red and white represent patriotism. The knife on the wall, the worn out canteen, and the crossed guns show the hardships of war. There is also a certain symmetry in this picture, as you can see the antlers, the crossed guns, the musket, and the crossed pistols are evenly aligned. Because of the amount of patriotism, it can also symbolize a sort of ceremonial piece, and can be used to honor the men who fought in the civil war.

A Resting Place of Prisoners
by: Nabila Akthar, Oscar Rodriguez, and Amir Stewart
The experience of talking thoughtfully about art was new for all of us. We saw beautiful artworks and enjoyed discussing our thoughts about them. We learned that there are multiple ways to appreciate art and that any given art piece will hold a different meaning for each individual viewer. That’s what makes discussion about art so fruitful.

The Reprimand
by: Vlad Borisov, Angel Mindanao, etc
The experience was really fun. I learned that you can really get messages from each piece of art just from observing and reflecting upon it. Some things can be implied by the artist; symbolic images and styles create meaningful worlds of endless possibilities.
I really enjoyed discussing paintings with new friends and look forward to analyzing more art that I encounter in the future. I used to walk by works of art like they weren’t anything special, but seeing how much time and effort an artist puts in to make beautiful masterpieces was a very moving experience. I am now extremely inspired as an aspiring artist and have developed a deep appreciation for visual arts.

The New One by Aaron Gilbert
by: Sam Genchikmakher Alan Shabatay Michael Gerber Angelika Pokovba Amira Fleyshmakher
Discussing this particular painting in the Brooklyn Museum had definitely changed our perspectives regarding art. Having a group conversation really enabled us to share our experiences and points of view, each of which was particularly unique and enlightening. All of our group members were able to realize that art in fact hides a much more profound meaning that sometimes could go unnoticed from a first glance. Once we spent a few minutes looking at the painting and analyzing its meaning, we were really able to understand its hidden significance and enjoy each others’ thoughts and perspectives.
