Good Afternoon class!
I couldn't wait to share the beautiful pieces I saw at the Yale Art Gallery with you! I honestly forgot to upload the pictures from my visits so prepare for the blog to fill up with beautiful art pieces. This experience was very moving. Most of the pieces I included have some kind of African American attached to it.
