We went to the Portland Art Museum for On Democracy class. It was a new experience for me because I've never been to an Art museum before. There were a bunch of really interesting paintings and sculptures that I stared at for a while. We got to see a glimpse of other cultures and what life was like many, many years ago. We were able to cover quite a lot of artwork while there.
My favorite part of the museum that we saw was probably the room with all of the Christian paintings. Since I'm writing my research paper about religion, specifically Christianity, these paintings really fascinated me. There were many paintings of women with babies in their arms. Also, there were many paintings of the Jesus' crucification on the cross. Those paintings really helped me imagine and relate to what I was writing in my paper. This also helped me with ideas for my visual aspect to go along with my research paper.
