Art has always been one of those things I always thought I wouldn’t really understand. As a kid‚ I always wanted to draw but I soon realized how awful my cartoons were and gave up drawing‚ I did not really think art was for me. Viewing the Unorthodox exhibit at the Jewish museum was one of the first times I actually went to just observe art rather than look

Cummer Museum I thought‚ "This is going to be boring. How can I write a paper on just art?" However‚ after my visit‚ I found there were more things to write about than I had imagined.
