METROPOLOTIAN MUSUEM OF ART Fatima Lundy I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my mom and my sister. I didn’t quite enjoy it at first‚ but as I explored the museum more‚ I began to feel enlighten at the sight of the different forms of art.

Though these two art works are similar in subject matter‚ they clearly reflect the different styles and time periods of their artists; the abstract

The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings‚ sculptures‚ architecture‚ and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East.

Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea

The piece that was most interesting to me was a Roman floor mosaic that depicts The Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs. A mosaic is a picture or pattern created by fixing together
