Arts Related Field Trips


1.) Provide a brief detail-oriented technical description or summary of the event you attended. This section should remain journalistic and should not be reflective of your opinion.
We were led around the museum by a woman who encouraged us to speak a lot. She asked us many questions, for example, when we got to a painting of the inside of a huge building she asked us to describe the largest space we had ever been in. Meanwhile, I took notes on almost all of the works we viewed.

2.) Use the section below to write a well-structured paragraph focusing on your personal critical insight / response to the event. How did you interpret or react to what was presented to you?
We moved from renaissance art all the way to modern art, and I must say that I enjoyed the renaissance art more than the modern art. In fact, my favorite work, Madonna and Child [one of many] by Lorenzo Monaco was from the 14th century. The modern art just did not come across as much as art to me as the renaissance paintings did. We looked at one work that was just two squares of different colors and while some may call that art, and I am fine with that, I am just not sure if it should be considered some masterpiece and displayed.
3.) What information, ideas, images, etc. most impressed you and why?
The Renaissance style art impressed me the most because we have had so many advancements since then, yet art still seems to have been better quality back then.
4.) Overall, how would you rate this event (10 being the most worthwhile)? (10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 )
I would rate it a 6.
5.) Justify your rating in the question above:
I enjoyed seeing the works, but we saw so many that eventually I just got a bit restless.
