Kolby Lopp \u201817<\/em> – The group went to the Museum of Modern Art in New York and it was a great experience. Being in New York and experiencing real life pieces of art can be more than inspiring. I thought that going through the museum and gazing at famous pieces of art was phenomenal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Persistence of Memory\u201d is a famous piece by Salvador Dali, which I see in books or online all the time, but being able to see it up in person is priceless. Being able to go through these museums and see all the work in person doesn\u2019t compare to what you see on paper. For example, going back to the Salvador Dali piece \u201cThe Persistence of Memory\u201d you would imagine that his piece would have been bigger than an 18\u201d X 24\u201d canvas but in reality it really is only about 12\u201d X 15\u201d. Chances like this could not have been possible if it were not to Wabash allowing us to come here and view this work with our own eyes.<\/p>\n

Seeing the work expanded my horizons and gave me the opportunity to try and incorporate things I saw into my own work. Looking at my work that I am doing now for my next project deals with abstraction and exploration of space. A piece that I saw today in the gallery that provided inspiration for my next piece of art. The piece incorporated paint in the background that was abstracted with mixed paints of watercolor and then layered with multiple colors over another. Then on the painting there was a 3 dimensional piece added on top with painted cave drawings on it that made it look like there is a whole in the painting. This inspires my next work because I was to incorporate multiple layers of colors mixing and dripping over the ground of the painting and then add layers over the top that can give the illusion of the absence of space and dimension.<\/p>\n

After leaving the museum Professor Mortong gave us the opportunity to go to ground zero and see how the people who have lost their lives have been honored. The trip to New York was a wonderful experience for us to be put in a position for our skills to flourish and expand our horizons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
