Art Museum (and flowers!)

Hey team!  BKGN Danny took the younger Black Belt Testers to the Art Museum.  I haven't been there in a really long time, and it was fun looking at all different kinds of art there. The one piece of art that stood out to me (besides the really bright one in the middle of the hall upstairs), was this thing made out of bark shaped like a bird. If you looked close enough, you could see the feathers in it's "wings". The way I interpreted that piece of art was that something extraordinary can be made out of something you see everyday. (Which means that we can be turned into something amazing if we really tried) There was also this weird structure by the entrance, and everyone thought it was a chair so some of them sat on it. Apparently, it was a sculpture, and we were all laughing when we found out. Lesson here, don't judge a book by it's cover, or just don't judge anyone at all. We were also surprised to see some simple paintings. We even saw one that was just a blue background and 3 strokes of a brush in different colors. What I learned from that one is that good basics are important. Some of the stuff we saw looked kind of creepy, like portraits with red eyes, and paintings that seem to watch you no matter where you walk. There were even some of those accordion-type curtains that can fold and unfold themselves. They even had some cool stories written on them too. (To me, that meant everybody has a story, and that makes everyone unique) My other favorites were the Cherokee masks. Some were bears, or sad faces, or a face inside a bear mask called "Transformation" or something like that. The art museum was pretty awesome (at least to me it was), and I'm sure there's going to be a lot more stuff when I come back.

P.S. We got to smell some flowers!!!
