I have never been to a museum before, back home in Africa. We have the  out there, but I never been interesting to go to the museum  to visit all kind of Arts. It was excited moment for me to see all kind of Arts down there, and I was inspired with a lot of things that I saw down there. what it has inspired me a lot, it was the picture of people who have sacrifice their life to bring the freedom in this country. I realized that there had some people have worked so hard to give us what we have today such as freedom and the opportunities that we have. 

In my country  music is the Art that people celebrate. Our Art is the music because music it symbolize a lot of things for us. By the music we can find peace among us, when there's no peace and by music we can bring people together to find the reconciliation in country. Our art it is also the dance. By the dance you can understand the message through the dance. We have all kind of dances, if you want to understand the art you must watch the traditional dance. It is easy to understand Art through the dance. The way they dress and the way they dance.

People express their feeling through the music in the different ways. Some people says that music bring to them happiness, often they say when they are upset of something or when they lose someone in the family and when they listen music they can't be worry and upset. The music has more impact in my country. for some people music is a motivation for them to accomplish so many things in their life.
We have all kind of diversity of music. Traditional music is describing as our Art there is modern music and etc. We have bunch of tradition music because there a lot tribe out there each tribe has his arts. People express their feelings through the visual diversity of Art by the emotion some people when they look at art they said that the Art show them the story of their tribe or where they come from. James Turrell, the Artist said "if you think all descriptions all experience he saw in road of Epiphany describing in terms of light some idea or light feel avoid and lightning all those things have to do with vocabulary of light". He said "in beginning was light and light is food that's physical part of it diet we have strong emotion relationship to the light as well it really doesn't have this amazing affect on us". He said again "we have some relationship with light when we are looking to fire. The James tunnel interested me it was amazing to be in that tunnel there had a lot of colors was changed anytime and the light was around of the tunnel I saw myself through that light, it was so amazing.








Having not seen much art in my life little did i know almost anything put in front of me could be art. On this trip I noticed this art as time consumming. I couldn't say i prefered this type of art, but some people in HUGO seemed to take some intrest in it. The most important part of this art I did pay attention to was the brig


Do we really know the importance of arts?

                                                                                      


 A famous artist says one day that " arts is a heritage receive from generation to generation and an expression of life". At first I did not understand what he meant but following our trip I think it start seem a little bit clear to me. I start looking at everything in a different perspective. It is interesting to me the way you can look at an artwork and have different thinking about it. A different look a different world, different view different understanding that's how arts it resume in my country. It just mean that the beauty of the artist artwork is define by the cultural understanding of his art. It is funny how here the artist can produce his arts not base on a cultural understanding but only with the beauty of his imagination. The artist interpret is vision of the world  
and want to show us what his eyes see and define beauty. it the reason maybe today I feel  like photography it is not only the action of taking picture but a little more than that. photography it is understanding what you see and observe. during all those different trips I understood that life has a meaning and it is beautiful. I am in admiration of these artists and how they able to resort the details of their work. it seems to me unreal to take so much time to profile all the details. At first I did not think that this class would be that much interesting but I am happy to see how this class help me to understand more arts. I travel around the globe and saw different arts but one thing I think they all have in common was show us that life is beauty and freedom. It is a total freedom of imagination and creation of what we are. they have different message unfortunately, for example in Africa artwork deliver a message of solidarity and social help. Here it seem to me that the principal message that is deliver by arts is freedom " we are all free to think"
