THE MET

Friday, February 17, 2017 my web design class and I went on a trip to the metropolitan museum of art. We saw a lot of historic art and learned a lot about each piece of art the museum had. For example, some of the historic art that we saw at the museum was, a blue wall which was a Islamic wall, facing towards Mecca, which is the direction they pray to Allah. Another historic art we saw on the trip was, 3 panels connected to each other, and each panel had 6 sides, Each panel had a different flow of a waterfall. One panel had a lot of water, and some panels had very little water. We learned  little bit about each art we saw, and we learned some of the messages behind each piece of art. For example, the waterfall panel's message was about, things being in a different form/way, they're still the same. Because for the waterfall, even though each waterfall had a different flow, it still ended up as the end of the waterfall. These different pieces of art that we saw, applied to web design because, even though students do projects and website in a different way than other students would do it, it stills ends up being a website. I enjoyed the experience of going to the museum because it was a good way to see what art was back then, and how it's similar to modern art. My favorite part was being able to see pieces of historic art from around the world. My least favorite part of the trip was, that you weren't able to take photographs of certain pieces of art because it would damage it. If I had the chance, I would want to go again with a friend.
