Metropolitan Museum

Today I went to the Metropolitan Museum. I went to every exhibit, but my favorites have to be the Greek and Art exhibits. The Greek exhibit was very interesting because they had art from Ancient Greece and its advancement throughout time. They also had Greek armor, which I found very interesting because they were sculpted to look like a person's body. One of the guards told me that Greeks were the only ones to ever create armor that looked that way. The Greek statues were also very impressive. The one downside to the statues though was that most of them were broken. Most of the statues were either missing half a face or had another area broken off. My favorite statue though was of Heracles with his Lion skin draped over his head; what really captured me about the statue was the hand, and its incredible detail. It was as if I was looking at a real human hand.
The painting exhibit was my next favorite and totally blew me away. To see all these brilliant paintings was truly astonishing. The different techniques, the colors, the subjects really differentiated each painter from one another. There were pictures that were so abstract that interpretation was left up to the viewer, and there were other pictures that were so well done, they appeared to be real people. My favorite painting was one that was made up of a bunch of little dots to form a picture. This was my favorite painting because it made me wonder, how was this done? To paint a picture by making so many dots to form a picture can only be described as incredible.
