For our FSEM our class took a trip to an Art Gallery located in the Victoria H. Myhren Gallery. We were given a private tour of the Art Gallery. The gallery was entitled, "Changing landscapes". It was a mixture between French and American landscapes. When first hearing about this it sounded like boring exhibit that I was not looking forward to. Once we walked in, the ambiance of the room changed my mind about how the following hour would go. Everything was nicely set up, and very visually please. The tour started and I will admit at first I was terribly bored with being there. Staring at pictures of trees and cows, was boring to me. I could not wait to get out of there, and be anywhere but there. But the curator went on explaining the pictures. Their importance to the people, the importance of documenting the changed landscape, the time period, the land itself that started off with being a rural country sides to being industrialized with trains. I'm glad I was able to go to this exhibit and without having been forced to go as a class I probably wouldn't have even known it existed. After we left, I felt I knew a lot more about the importance of landscapes, how detailed they actually are and their importance.
