Polk Art Museum Adventure

I found the trip to the Polk Art Museum very interesting and quite entertaining; it was also slightly educational. I must admit that I felt a little odd reading my poems in the museum, but I followed the assignment. I loved the art showcased in the museum; I honestly expected there to be a little more exhibits but I enjoyed what they had. This was not my first art museum to visit; a couple of years ago I went to one in Atlanta GA which was huge, which might be the reason why I expected more art at the Polk Art Museum. Though I expected more I thoroughly enjoyed the artwork; I was able to truly observe the time, thought and passion the artists put into their work.

I loved most of the artwork I think my favorite out of it all was the 3d stuff. I thought all of the artwork was excellent; I mean who can truly judge art work as bad art? Who are we to judge? An artist has no boundary or guideline he or she can put his passion and thoughts into art, which can be a positive element to society. In the museum I heard a young couple say, "This picture the worst one here." Hearing that frustrated me; someone poured their time, thoughts and passion into that painting but an ignorant couple refused to see the beauty.

As I was observing the art; I tried asking myself, "what was this artist thinking?"....honestly most of the time I had no idea, but personally I believe that is a positive aspect of art.. sometimes there is no need for a reason... it is just art.
