When I first enrolled in this class I would've never imagined how fun it would be. Most college students don't look forward to their next class, but that is the opposite of what I felt. I'd wake up groggy and in a bad rump but it would eventually go away knowing my class was going to be fun. I wasn't going to the same old college classes, no it was much more than a class. This class taught me to appreciate all diffrent kinds of art not just traditional paintings, murals, and statues. Art also comes in forms of grafiti, paintings not found on canvas but walls, ceilings and even doors! The artists creativity truly is awe inspiring and quite a sight to behold. The folk trip we took to see the decorated houses was one of my favorites. Inside of the houses at the folk trip we took were much more diffrent than I expected. Before we arrived the thoughts going through my mind were funky indoor decor for some reason, not really anywhere near what they actually were. When we arrived to the houses I was quite anxious to finally see them. Fom the side view that I saw them they looked like plain white houses at first. As we neared them the art was just plain to see, I felt a bit dumb, blind and childish for a bit. I felt childish, the reason for that was because the art made me feel like a kid in the candy store.
 The bright and vibrant colors just attracted your eyes to them. It was like looking at something so beautiful that is was difficult to look away from. My favorite trip we took this semester was definetly the museum of fine arts. When I was younger in fourth grade we took a trip to this museum, I was young and i didn't much know anything about anything. We walked around the museum and I looked at sculptures and paintings and thought they were neat because of the pretty colors. I never once thought the amount of time, creativity and soul the artist put into it, all I thought back then was about candy, milk and playing video games. But on my second visit to the museum I definetly recall what I saw that day back in fourth grade, the one sculpture that hasn't left my mind. This time I visited I made sure I saw every detail that was put into the pieces of art being displayed. They were simply outstanding! I loved and embraced every second that I spent in the museum. There was an abundance of Roman, Greek, those two types being some of my favorites.
