For our art history course we visit museums every class. We are transported to the museums via subway and our chaperone, a Pratt student. Our chaperone is named Steph, short for Stephanie. Steph is a tiny girl with a rainbow of colors in her black hair. She wears black clothes and gladiator sandals. Her major is in fashion design. She is soft spoken but very sweet. Once we get on the street she pulls out a cigarette, lights it, and says, "Smoke. I don't care". Only one boy lights up, huffing smoke into my face.
First we visited the Frick Collection and then the MoMA. The Frick was comprised of very old pieces in the Frick house. It wa
s interesting, but not my favorite thing to look at. The MoMA though was very fun. I loved their crazy contemporary floor. In one room they had an art piece that consisted of people heights marked on the wall. The cool thing was that you could have your height put on the wall. So I did! It was such a fun afternoon.
Ho w exciting to have the opportunity to visit all these fabulous museums! I always find great inspiration in looking at contemporary art... the wild colors and forms always make me want to go and paint--
ReplyDelete:-) I am hoping your stay at Pratt is as vibrant and lively as the art you have been able to see.
I love you! DAD
Dad and I must have missed that exhibit. i think it was on one of the bottom floors and by the time we got down there my Corso Comos were killing me so we went into the beautiful sculpture garden and rested. We never did make it to the Met but when you go try to get into see the fashion exhibit they have going on right now. Thanks for including a picture of you on your adventure.

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and viewing your pictures. I hope you will have an art and fashion show when you return. Our nephew Brama just got back to New York this morning. Have a good cup of coffee for me!
