Museum of Art

Our rainy day activity was to visit the Museum of Art at New Orleans City Park. We happened upon two great traveling exhibits. 

The first was Photorealism, where the artists render artwork that is as realistic as a photograph using acrylic, oil, watercolour, fibre, etc. the works were amazing; unbelievably realistic!  

The second exhibit was the exact opposite. Artists created unrealistic images using photography. Amazing effects!  (Aaron, you would love this exhibit!)

We also viewed some of the works in the permanent exhibits. Tiny Dancer by Degas and Woman in Armchair by Picasso were two of my favourites.
