My 4th Visit to the Yale Art Gallary.

 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.
