i think aunt joan would be proud because i finally went to my first art gallery this week. i know it only took me thee months but i finally got to one. my art history class had out tutorial for the day in an art gallery. so i used the public transportation is get around sydney and to the art gallery. it was very cool, but quite small. definitely nothing like the met or moma or something. but yes it was quite nice. it was cool to see the actual paintings we had been talking about. they also had an AWESOME modern section. we didn't spend too much time there because we haven't gone over it, but it was seriously really cool. i'm definitely really into modern and pop art type stuff. speaking of, in the next class we talked of cristo, the guy who wrapped those islands in colorful sheets and did the gates. the whole class was saying that it wasn't really art and blah blah blah because he wasn't the one to actually make his art but i explained to the class that once you've actually seen it, you'll probably have a very different feel. i definitely remember visiting the gates, they were magnificent. and i definitely credit the artist because he was the one behind the plan. that was an awesome day, and a great way to spend a birthday.
