Update from Cheryl

I am currently uploading more pictures and adding the finishing touches to my blog. I was not able to make it the last museum on my tentative schedule, the Guggenheim in New York, but I did visit all of the others for a total of five museums and in one case, I went to the same museum twice. I have really enjoyed this experience. I was most impressed with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I have invited a few friends and my entire immediate family to a trip to New York this summer just to visit this fantastic museum. I hope all of you enjoyed this class as much as I did. Don't forget to take a look at my blog when you get a chance and good luck to all.

Museum 6: The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

Well class...here's my final post, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. I have been pleasantly suprised with the last couple of art museums I've visited. Jerry, I got off to a late start, but this class was a great experience! I don't that I would have gone to Ridgefield had it not been for this class! Thanks, and enjoy your holiday.

Museum 5: New Britain Museum of American Art

I have uploaded my paper for the New Britain Museum of American Art. I absolutely LOVED this museum. It was totally worth the drive! I was not excited about this museum as I thought I didn't like American art. To my surprise, this was my favorite museum to date, and I was disappointed when I had finished going touring the museum. I will certainly be going back!

Final Week!

Hello everyone...

Time has flown by and we now find ourselves in the final week of class... The registrar's office will be looking for grades from me by Friday at the latest....  As a reminder, I'll be looking for 4 papers and 2 photo essays with captions.... The papers should be illustrated with th work you are discussing as well as some general shots of the museum, etc.

Hope you enjoyed having the freedom this class offers and have developed a great habit to keep doing long after the class has ended....

Let me know if you need anything... and have a great Holiday season!

The Met - Final Blog

My pictures for The Met are posted. I had an awesome time - what a great, standard-setting museum in our back yard!!

Museum 4: British Art Museum

Check out my photos at the British Art Museum. I've posted a photo tour.

Update from Cheryl

To date, I have visited every museum on my tentative schedule. Please check out my blog (Cheryl's Blog) to view photos and to see my written reports. I must say that if you have never been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, you're missing a treat. I was totally blown away. Although admission is posted as $20, there is no admission charge but donations are asked. I paid $5 and got in. The museum is massive. It spans 4 city blocks long and 2 blocks wide. I took as many pictures as I could before my battery expired. I will definitely be making another trip there during the summer.

CHERYL VEREEN

Hello Everybody! I'm back!

Hi everyone! I'm back. After suffering from tennis elbow in both arms since October 15th which has prevented me from typing and still limits every aspect of my daily living, I'm well enough to type for a few minutes at a time now. The nerve damage causes severe pain and spasms but I'm thankful that it is a little better thanks to the shots and pain meds I've been receiving. Then I caught swine flu and was away from work, school, and the outside world from October 31st through November 9th. So you can see I'm a little behind and I do apologize. I have been to the first two museums on my tentative schedule and I must say the Whitney museum was impressive. It featured one of my favorite abstract artists-Georgia O'Keefe. I will be posting pictures, comments, and my first paper this week. I'm really excited about writing my first paper. I hope you enjoy my postings.

Episode Four: Yale Art Gallery

I posted my piece for trip #4 on my blog - have fun :)

Museum #3: Wadsworth Antheneum

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I visited the Wadsworth Antheneum on 11/21/09 with my daughter and fiance. I had never been to the museum before and was pleasantly surprised with the exhibits. I've posted only pictures for this visit. Check them out on my blog. Enjoy!

Trip #3

I posted pictures this week in loo of an essay. Enjoy :-)

Museum 2: Yale Art Gallery

I've just posted my next visit to the Yale Art Gallery. I was absolutely amazed at the piece that I chose to highlight on my blog. The sculpture is entitled "Drug Addict". The hyperrealism in this piece just blew me away. Visit my blog and you'll find more pictures of this fabulous piece.

Trip 2 - Wadsworth Atheneum

Hi Y'all - My piece on the Wadsworth Atheneum is now up on my blog. The museum was wonderful, but I realized that I belong on the shoreline. :)

Hi everyone!

I have posted the pictures of my first piece from my visit to the Yale Center for British Art. It's a painting by Martin called "The Deluge" and it is very intense. Just warning you!
