BiegieGo, 9/25

So I know this is super later but I thought I should post on it anyways. Our class took a little field trip to the museum this past week and was introduce to what are museum has to display to us. The main exhibit that our class went to see was called “On Reading.” The show before this one was about printing and print making. I could kind of relate to the printing show because I took a art class here at rolling and we worked with making different kinds of prints and we were shown how to layer prints. One would think that printing can possible be that hard but it is very difficult because you have to line everything up and mix the right paints properly or else you will not get the color you wanted. I had never seen printing like that before I took the art class and I am glad I was able to experience it.
The show “On Reading” was about this one man, I forgot his name, which went around taking pictures of people reading. I thought it was an awesome idea to make a show on this topic because a lot of people like to read but you never really focus on what the people look like when they are in the act of reading. I felt the artist did a great job of getting the emotions of the people while they are reading. The tour guide as the class “if on reading was not on the wall, would you look at the pictures differently?” I believe I would have look more closely. I think that the title “On Reading” made me look for the person doing the act and made me move more quickly though the exhibit. I saw the person reading and I just move right along to the next picture not really taking in the surroundings of what was around the picture.
