Brooklyn Museum: The experience.

The trip to Brooklyn Museum turned out to be very different from what I expected it to be, which was a boring, slow paced trip where we would have to talk about art and try to find deeper meanings that I didn’t think existed. I thought that was only for stuck up pretentious people, who were ” connoisseurs” of art.

I was totally wrong. After relaxing for a bit, we finally got our groups, recorders and headed into the world of art. TO my surprise all of the pieces were quite intriguing and when we started recording for the first time on a piece in the Egyptian section, my group and I began talking up a a storm. We were making observations and analyzing the pieces like those stuck up people I mentioned earlier. It was actually a little bit of fun getting to express feeling about the pieces while also hearing your friends giving analysis and observations that weren’t anywhere in your mind. So many times I was caught off guard by some of the observations that my peers made, and them by observations I made.

Though I can’t say that this trip was magnificent or anything like that because at the end of the day, I’m just not a big fan of museums so being in there staring at art for so long did become boring. Though I won’t lie, my view of art has undergone a type of metamorphosis and I can see more details in a piece and understand the deeper meanings behind it. Overall it was a good experience but it wasn’t as awesome for me as it was for others.
