Night at the Museum

Hi guys. To be completely honest, I have had no previous experience with art and had no idea of what to expect at the museum. I wasn’t too thrilled to go because I thought it would be boring. However, I was blown away just by the structure of the museum. It was beautiful and looked so majestic. my favorite piece of art was the River Seine at Mantes.  This painting, created in 1856, predicted the future of the world.  One side of the painting was luscious and green and full of life.  The forest was deep green and thick and there were no people on that side of the river either.  On the other side of the river, there was a factory in the background with smoke coming out of it.  The land was green, but with no trees and looked empty.  There were also 2 people on that side of the river as well.  The fact that there were people on the side where the factory and emptiness was, showed that we are the cause of such a life like that. Also, by depicting the two sides, the painter is showing that we have a choice to make about which world we want and if are smart we can have both.  As i continued to  explore the museum, I began to look at the paintings to find a deeper meaning behind them all. I had a pleasant time at the museum and look forward to going to many more.
