Text and Image Glimpses~!

Today we did a "Text Glimpse" and "Image Glimpse" exercise. I interviewed a security guard for the text portion. Interestingly, she said children were more well behaved than the adults when it came to no touching art! I also tried to eavesdrop on groups of people as part of the assignment. I was terrible at being discrete about it but I overheard an interesting comment on the Modern Wing Building itself: "All this glass makes me nervous."

For the image portion, we used viewfinders, it was black card-stock with a square cut in the middle. It gives a close up and helps focus on details.  Some familiar paintings look unrecognizable close up. I took many pictures with a camera, but here are a couple.

Part of a tablecloth? A scarf ? A dress?
Beatrice was with me too~
