I would say that before this experience my observation skills were ok, not the best as I would
say I was one of the people who would just glimpse over a photo or something I was shown or
when being outside was more focused on my phone per say then I was the actual world around
me.

Which form(s) of observation in #3 above do you think was/were your initial way to observe
pictures, etc. before your museum experience this afternoon? Give a rationale for your response.

I would say either illustrative or expressive just because those were the two I feel that I connected with the most.
More than likely I would say I observed in a more expressive view just because it was easier to tell the emotion and
true meaning of the paintings.
