I really enjoyed both of the museums that we visited. I learned a lot about how different artists and art periods influenced each other and got to see the development of art techniques over time. It was incredible to see the details and methodical tactics up close and in person. On an emotional level, it was so intriguing to learn about the different life periods that the artists were going through when they created their artworks and how that influenced the colors and methods they chose. One detail that I liked to pay attention to was the framing of the different pieces. It was interesting to see different artworks in such different frames and to compare the ones that had similar frames yet very different pieces of art. I also enjoyed being able to experience the different rooms that the museum had laid out and to be able to view different pieces from different artists in a more thought-provoking way than it would have been if the museum had just put all of an artist’s pieces together.
