Regents Week in New York is a week for high school students to take a break from stressing over school work to stressing over standardized tests. Thank goodness for New York City's many museums, most of which offer free admission to students. The museum is the perfect place to unwind from the stress of subjective testing and allows for the objective, creative sides of students to show.

I met up with fellow students, designers, bloggers
Jeff Huang and
Michael Huff to go to the Museum of Modern Art, also known as the MoMA. At the MoMA we found our friends
Raku Shigematsu and
Sofia Martinez with Derek, Arianna, and Gabby. (It was almost a 9C reunion, with the exception of Michael and Gabby.) And
Jodi Quan met up with us at the museum later that day.

My favorite piece is Pablo Picasso's The Three Musicians. I studied this piece extensively in the sixth grade. This oil painting on canvas hung on a wall in the center of the floor acting as divider to the other pieces of art. Because of its extensive size, this painting occupied the entire wall. Pablo Picasso completed this along with another painting with the same title (see below) in 1921. The three figures in this image are, from left to right, Pierrot, a character from French plays, a harlequin, similar to a jester, and a monk.

I enjoy Picasso's piece here as well because of it's jagged and colorful points. It makes the piece stand out and is very noticeable.
ReplyDeleteHi deer, I really like the artworks that you posted. It is always nice seeing works by Picasso.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you went with other students. It's always fun to go with other people and see what they notice. I think one of the reasons this painting is so successful is that you can really get lost in the painting. You can start anywhere on the piece and follow it endlessly into different shapes and colors and lines.
