The Rubin Museum of Art

On Saturday, September 27th, LGS Freshmen from the Art and Craft of Writing classes went on a trip to the Rubin Museum of Art.  The museum had a comprehensive collection of art from the Himalayas and its surrounding region. The collection was comprised of paintings, sculptures, and textiles. Each set of winding steps led to an entire floor dedicated to different and intriguing artworks, each with their own powerful story. It was amazing to see how much detail went into each art piece to give the impression of delicacy and boldness at the same time. Having a chance to step away from our busy schedules to interpret the aesthetic, social and historical perspectives of each piece allowed us to truly appreciate the serene atmosphere. Overall, the museum was a wonderful place to go to and gave us great insight into another culture.
