Day 4 by Kat Moore

-
On Day 4 we took a trip to the Barnes Foundation on the Philadelphia Parkway. The current exhibition features the work of Jean Renoir. I watched a couple of his short films featured in the exhibit and looked at his paintings. Jean Renoir's films caught my attention the most. I enjoyed the black and white cinema, and its arbitrariness. His films were very "avant-garde" like, at moments I could understand and follow the characters but at times the structure of the film would change. I also had the chance of looking at the permanent collection at the Barnes.
It wasn't my first time at the Barnes Foundation so the permanent collection was something I've seen before. Throughout my visit to the museum, I had opportunities to snap photos for reference for my future pieces.

Megan and I are a good alum-student match because of our shared interest in illustration, and quieter introverted nature. Although Megan’s and my art is very different, we share an understanding for visual meaning and narrative.  The weeks at ART are fairly reliable work-load wise, but on Wednesdays we get to do something a little different. Megan teaches art classes for young students directly after work on Wednesday, so she takes me with her to where her classes are. Of course, I can’t roam around aimlessly while she works, so I take her car to Dunkin Donuts and sit outside, sipping a black coffee and reading The Sandman, volume 5. I enjoy these little quiet moments where I final

Yo!!!!!! My name is Malik Murray, I am a rising junior photography major. I am more than excited to be working under Uarts Alumni Lou Caltabniano and John Pushnick.

Hope everyone has a great summer and enjoy their time gaining experience in a variety of art forms!!
