Today I explored some intriguing pieces of art works at the usual spectacular museum and two casual contemporary-cool art galleries in downtown. I mean, what joy, just spending a beautiful morning having tasty bagel sandwiches on a warm Friday afternoon in a pleasant outdoor seating and listening to my Key Club siblings talk about their past freshman year experiences in college. In fact, I really enjoy exchanging past experiences and forming new mindsets from the stories that I hear about from others from time to time in general. To think about what could really help change the standing character inside myself to someone who won't often hold back by denial of what could really expand my understanding of what it really means to embrace bonds and connections for more than just a few seconds, is what really gets me listening and thinking.
At the museum, I also happened to read a lot about India's cultural heritage, political engagement, and traditional roots that grew out from it all. Ms. Davis would have loved this exhibit just because we covered a lot of this chapter when she discussed about India's independence from the British and such in Euro during my junior year. As for the Bill Owens: Ordinary Folks exhibit, I could definitely see Mr. Cava going into detail about just how right Owens is in his words. The photos basically say that "Ordinary folks do ordinary things" due to the fact that Americans have been working for many years at a nonstop pace, just to earn a bit of money out of their living since way back into time-from nurturing the farm animals to holding maintenance over natural supplies to fixing technological gadgets, etc. (Owens). Owens' photo gallery is the epitome of how America is still running today. It questions the audience whether it has dramatically changed in today's views or not since the 70's, and the answer is no; it hasn't, because we still have people getting up early for work, performing all kinds of different tasks, then coming home to rest and preparing for everything to happen all over again the following day. These kinds of lifestyles still continue to live among us daily. Americans have indeed worked hard with endless effort and contributed so much to absolutely earn respect, dignity, and pride in the long run, by handling life not only just the way it was yesterday, but how it also is today.
I did a lot of reading today at the museum because I think it's just amazing how all kinds of artists can let out all of their emotions in just one or two works of art. The pieces can often speak so loud with few words and portray such magnificent details with every stroke of color. So with my two amusing Key Club siblings, Sherry and Kevin, I was able to explore through a lot more new exhibits of contemporary and modern art with good company, find great thrift treasures, and sip on refreshing pomegranate iced tea. Thank you for reading. Goodnight.
