Philadelphia Museum of Art

The Philadelphia Museum of Art was my first time to an art museum, and overall I think it was a good experience. When I thought of an art museum, I thought it was going to be all paintings.

When I arrived at the front of the museum I was surprised and amazed how beautiful was the front entrance. The unique design and the gigantic pillared building attracted me. The entrance had a huge statue of a lady with a bow and arrow in her hand at the top of the Museum’s Great Stair Hall known as Diana (1892 – 1893) by Augustus Saint- Gaudens.

The last time I ever visited The Philadelphia Art Museum was in the sixth grade. At the time, I did not care much for art nor appreciated it. I was ignorant to how beautiful and meaningful art actually is. Most importantly, I never recognized the talented artists within the museum. However, as I grew older I became more interested with art. I wanted to learn the different principles, techniques, and methods on how to create art.

Even though time is the great equalizer. Older European artist are still portrayed as superior artisan compared to the more contemporary artist. Museums like the Philadelphia Museum of Art showcase modern works of art but they clearly are built to showcase the older European works of art. I believe that time is leveling the playing field.

On September 11, 2001, the United states became a war zone. A chain of airline hijacking and suicide attacks, planned by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda, soon became the most fatal terrorist attack on an American territory in U.S history. Over 2,800 innocent human lives were ended by detestable acts of terror. The events occurring that day affected every American, as millions watched the events disentangle in New York City, leaving the world in a state of panic. The morning of September 11

Disappearing pink walls is always the first thing that comes to mind when I think of my childhood. Why were there holes in the wall, what happened, where did the drywall go? These were some of the many questions visiting family members would ask, but to the variety of questions, there was only one answer. It was a small chubby child with overly tight braids. You see, I had teeth of steel that were able to puncture the wall. These would come in handy when I wanted a quick light snack. That “light”
