Thesis: Senior year in high school I had a humanities class with Mrs. Currie, and at the end of the year her class gets to go on a field trip to art museums all over downtown Houston. Out of the many museums the best one I’ve been to is The Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The MFAH had so many great and famous paintings from Rembrandt to Picasso. In all, I had a great time there hanging out with my friends and enjoying art.
Body paragraph:
We next went into large rooms with hundreds of paintings. One painting caught my eye because it was so famous, Picasso’s Starry Night. The brush strokes made the painting look like a reflection in a pool of water. The tree in the painting looked as if it was a green fire rather than a tree. When we moved into the next room there was a painting of a picnic representing pointillism, a painting made from hundreds of paint dots. Up close it looked like a newspaper picture in that you can see every pixel, in contrast, far away the painting looked normal and just a little fuzzy. I admire the painter’s patience and skill of knowing where to put each dot of color. The following painting was of a lush jungle. I could almost feel the hot humid air and the smell of fruit in the air because the painting was so life like.
