*Carnegie Art Museum*


Hey It's Niecy B. here to tell you about our trip to Carnegie Arts Museum on Monday.

Carnegie Arts Museum is a place that i've visited before I enjoyed it but not as much as i would have liked to because I was younger at the time so, I didn't quite understand some of the things that guides were talking about. My recent trip to the Carnegie Museum I enjoyed more because I'm older and I know and understand more, so I can appreciate the quality of the art that is displayed there at the museum. Back then all I thought of the art was that it was a pretty picture, or it was wierd. Now I try to figure out what the artist was thinking while he was making the portrait, what made he/ she make it, and what it means.


While touring the museum I came across many beautiful paintings and sculptures, but the one that really caught my eye was a wall/relief called The Chariot Of Aurora. This particular piece of art intrigued me, because of the way it looked it had a very bright color to it which is gold, and it shone so brightly. It was a beautiful sight to see it had a few of the gods in it, but the one that stood out the most was Aurora the God of Dawn and also the daughter of the sun god. She stood out to me because of the way the artist pertrayed her in the painting. It looked to me like they were fighting with one another. Thats what drawed me to it the most, because I didn't know what was going on, but I could make my own insumptions, it kept me guessing.
