Met Trip

     Our trip to the Met was one of my favorite trips I have gone on in High School.  It was incredibly interesting seeing all the different styles and variations of art.  But as strange as it sounds, my favorite section of the Museum had to have been the Modern and Contemporary section.  I believe modern art does not nearly get enough attention as it should.  It could just be a personal thing, but I find really strange and obscure art the best kind there is.  Especially when that strange kind of art as some kind of meaning to it.  Most modern art is the extremely creative minded peoples' response to real world issues or practices that they believe is wrong or right.  Often times, the very strange and odd nature of the art seem to turn people off, which leads to them walking away from it and not studying it.  Although in some pieces the meaning may be impossible to ever find, most convey points in topics that are often lewd and controversial.  And after all, modern art is the art of our time, and we should at least try to appreciate it.  Some of these pieces may end up in these museums and valued priceless, just like the works of Van Gogh.  If we ever go back to the Met, please try and pay more attention to the Modern art, because as stated if the the time is taken to examine these strange pieces, we may actually learn a lot  about peoples' beliefs and opinions on the world that we never knew were even thought about.  Some pieces may actually educate us about issues and force us to think about points that we never would have thought about otherwise, which is never a bad thing.
