on wednesday, april 13th, i took my very first trip to an art museum. vaughn and michael miller took their classes to the fort worth modern museum of art. we ate at the cafe modern and toured the museum afterwards. the modern had a lot of nice pieces. the ladder above was my favorite piece of all. the ladder had me wanting to to climb it so bad. even though i could see where the top of the ladder ended, i still wondered what was up there and where it was going. another favorite of mine was "The Ark" by Melissa Miller. her color choices for the painting were beautiful, i especially liked the deep teals and golden yellows. the visible brush strokes gave a nice texture to the animals fur and made the painting even more pleasurable to look at. sadly, this piece was located no the second floor,where no photography is allowed, so i was unable to get a picture of the painting itself.
the Ed Ruscha exhibition was nice and i'm glad i had the opportunity to see it, but i must admit i wasn't blown away by his work. i think i feel this way because his work is not something that particularly interests me.
i really enjoyed the day of art and look forward to my next trip :)
