Spring field trip to NYU

I
About a month ago, the entire ICS class took a trip into NYC to see the Frick Museum as well as attend a class at NYU. 
The experience was overwhelming! Not only was it a gorgeous sprig day but we all learned a lot. 
The Frick is such a unique museum in the sense that it is very personal. There are rooms instead of exhibitions and the entire environment feels more individualized. The whole class loved it, and the lecture from our professor at NYU.
Attending a humanities class was very different. We were all in awe of the campus- which was bustling with artists, musicians, and students. 
One artist was drawing a beautiful chalk painting in front of us!
The class itself was about a few chapters in Dante's purgatory. Having read Inferno, it was a great class discussion to watch. 
Next year I'm going to miss these trips into the city. I feel like I have learned so much and have gathered so much knowledge that I want to go back - this time on my own.
