the scavenger hunt on sunday was amazing. even though we did get lost a couple times, and had trouble figuring out the clues, thats what the point of a scavenger hunt is right? also, getting lost gave us the opportunity to ask for help from the museum staff, which is a good introduction.
i observed the sheer multitude of different kinds of art during the scavenger hunt. the museum has pieces that range from japanese calligraphy to carved stone deities and even art made out of human skulls. it amazes me that this variety of incredible artwork can be easily accessed from where i live and now, where i work. it's so cool!
i used this piece for my art meditation and originally was drawn to it because of the intricate linework and details, and because i am usually more into modern art as opposed to the classics. however, after looking at it for 10 minutes, i realized that there were elements of classic art in it as well, because woodcarving is probably one of the oldest art forms out there.
i really really enjoyed getting to know you guys more. i am so grateful to be working in a place with such an amazing group of girls. i think sharing a common goal of completing the scavenger hunt really helped us connect on many levels. i look forward to having more fun and learning more about you guys tomorrow!
