During my visit to the art museum I saw a lot of styles of art that I hadn’t experienced before. From glass and paintings to sculptures and photography there was quite a bit to take in. I enjoyed my trip to the Vero Beach Museum of Art much more so then I expected.

I think this course and even more so the time I spent at the museum really helped open my eyes and mind to all the art in the world and reading into the message behind the artwork and learning about the feelings of the artists. I’m happy that I took this course and I’m especially happy that this outside activity was an important part of the course because it certainly had a very strong impact on my experience in the course and my overall experience with art thus far in my
