The MoMA!

Last Friday night we decided to go to the MoMa aka the Museum of Modern Art. It's free on Fridays so we went for free. Let me just say that I love art! It brought back so many memories of AP Art History in high school which I loved. Here are a few pics of my fav's and also some of the art that you look at and think, "yeah I can do that." If you come to New York be sure to go to the Art museums. They are truly amazing!

One of my favorites: "White on White" I hope to recreate this one someday:) I just think it's so funny that Malevich painted this and it became famous. It's white paint on a white canvas.

Scott standing next to the skinniest little painting I have ever seen. The red strip is the whole piece of art. Everything else in the picture is the wall.
Picasso!
Andy Warhol of course!
We still want to go back to try to see the Tim Burton exhibit. It was sold out when we went.

This Weekend

This weekend was really fun and I wanted to give a bit of a recap:
On Friday we decided to go to The Met (The Metroplitan Museum). I really like art so I was really excited. It was a rainy gloomy day so a museum sounded like a great idea! Inside the museum was a little overwhelming because it is so big. We decided on a few things that we wanted to see because there is so much to see! We'll have to go back a million times to see everything. I took some pictures of some of my favorites.


I love Van Gogh so I was so excited to be able to see some of his paintings! Here are a few that I loved:

Irises, of course!
Some Jackson Pollock---I think his work is much cooler in person! I wasn't too impressed until I saw it in person.
We also saw some European paintings, Egyptian Art, other Modern Art, Arms and Armor. Scott wanted to see all the different types of armor and weapons and that was really cool to see. I was surprised, but it was cool to see the evolution throughout the years of armor and weapons.


It was a really fun night!


On Saturday we got together with some friends and watched the BYU game. It wasn't a very exciting game but it was funny seeing how far ahead we were getting. Yay BYU! Great job!

Also, on Sunday Scott and I were sustained in our new calling as being on the Activities Committee. I may be asking all of you for some activity ideas :)
