2nd Photo essay - Jay Rivera

Greetings everyone, this is my second photo essay including several wonderful pieces that I had the honor of viewing during my visits to the NBMAA. I really enjoyed taking this course since it encouraged me to travel and discover fresh perspectives on art. Additionally, I had the opportunity of being introduced to a wide range of mediums and artists, which I will always find astounding. Artists all have the same profession, yet I'm constantly in amazement at how inventive and unique each of us is, especially when I see the skill and subtle originality exhibited in each and every work of art. Participating in this course was enjoyable, and I plan to keep visiting museums because they are full of inspiring pieces and people. Here are some pieces I saw on my multitude of visits I enjoyed and was greatly inspired by.
