My girlfriend for a long time is finishing up her degree at Pratt institute in Brooklyn. To be honest I've never cared for art that much and still consider myself far from artistically savvy. But recent my girlfriend had her senior thesis show which is an art show that each student has to do in order to graduate. the show is the culmination of all four years of work and the student are judged. there is no way to fail its mostly for critique. I took my friend from Montclair State (a fellow comm major) and immediatly realized we were out of place.
The converstations at this college were very different than the parties or event held at Montclair. As I started looking at the art work (knowing all the hard work that went into it) I begn to appreciate the photograph for more than their subject matter. In fact I began to notice intentional influences from the photographer like composition and scale.
After this experience I think I will look forward to going to more art shows with my girl.
