carnegie museum

I havent been to the Carnegie Museum in a long time but I really liked it and wished we could have stayed longer. The tour was so fast I dont even remember all the stuff I looked at. There were alot of paintings that I liked but the ones that I didnt really like stuck in my mind more. As an artist myself I am always trying to look at art with an open mind and respect but there are some things there that I wonder why it would even be considered as art.

The first part of the museum is always boring to me but I can still respect it cause the paintings are so good. I am so amazed by how real they look. Its like looking at a photo. I know how much talent, patience, and time they took to paint that which makes me feel like artist like that dont even exist anymore. The other part of the museum I dont get are the random chairs everywhere. None of them look like art to me they just make me tired and want to sit in one.

The one I disliked the most was one near the end of our tour. It was the black and silver tiles on the floor. I think that takes no thought and talent to make that. It wasnt even a little creative to me.

Its hard for me to label one as my favorite but if I had to pick one out it was Julie Mehretu of the stadium. I have studied her in one of my art classes and was really excited to see one in person. I thought it was creative and interesting. I dont know what medium she used but it looked like it was made out of stickers which surprised me but thought was pretty cool.
