This past weekend I visited the Housatonic Museum of Art. It is very interesting that the museum itself resides inside the Housatonic Community College in downtown Bridgeport. Artwork was displayed in almost all areas of the college, on the walls and in the atrium. It gives the college a unique feel.

I was drawn to a piece called Ironing Board Battered Women Series by Nicholas Africano. He was a English major, and discovered much more of his creativity through painting and sculpturing. This piece was done as he was starting his sculpturing phase and the arms and legs of the subject are three dimensional. You have to look very closely, it is there.

I am heading to the Met this weekend for my final venture for this class. I am very excited to explore such an amazing place!!
