Event 1: The Getty

For my first event I choose to go to The Getty Museum in order to experience Abelardo Morell's The Universe Next Door, which was a very interesting gallery.  This was the first time that I had ever been to The Getty, so I am glad that I got the chance to go for this class.  Not only were the galleries intriguing, but the view from The Getty is one of the best in Los Angeles. Unfortunately inside the gallery they would not let us take pictures due to copyright purposes, but I was still glad that I got the experience of seeing the photography. 











Many of the pictures in this gallery were beds or bedrooms with different backgrounds such as a bed with the background of the Brooklyn Bridge, or the New York Skyline, and I though this was very interesting and took a lot of talent to produce.  This photography pertains to our class because it shows us that art can be found everywhere.  In our class we have found the there is art in science, technology, and medicine, and along those line we may find art with anything if we are creative and inspired.

 This visual experience improved not only my view of the course, but it improved my appreciation for art as a whole.  I would also recommend this event for my classmates, because if you have not been to the Getty you have to go while you are in school at UCLA.  The creativity that Abelardo Morell uses in his camera obscura allows his audience to become awestruck wondering how this was possible.  He is a great photographer and his photos are considered art because of the creativity and entertainment that they possess.
