Online museum visit (blog #5)

I hope you all enjoyed the Museum of Fine Arts and seeing art in person rather than on a screen ( a very different experience). Unfortunately some of us have trouble making it across town to see the museum much less travel the world to see great art. Luckily today we have at our fingertips the ability to "see" many things online that would have otherwise required a plane ticket. Now with many museum's collections posted online you can see so much art for free anytime, and I want you to familiarize yourself with these great resources.  For this week's homework I want you all to spend a good amount of time, at least 30 minutes, exploring the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York  website  as if you were actually there looking for things that interest  you. The website allows you to search all of their collections by materials, time, etc or even look at a time line of art history . For the blog homework I want you to find at least 2 works of art that appeal to you and respond to them or respond to the website as a whole. (You could answer questions like, was the site easy to navigate? Were you able to learn enough about what you were interested in ? etc)
