Most Memorable art experience- Anna O.
One very memorable art experience I had was the first time I'd been to the Tate Modern art museum. They have an exhibit there, a room painted deep red; the walls are covered with about nine gigantic floor-to-ceiling Mark Rothko paintings. To me, the paintings exude a sort of sad, latent rage- the dark walls of the room really highlight this. I remember sitting in the room for at least 45 minutes, unable to leave because of the strange power these paintings had over me. I don't know why I was drawn to something so dark and disturbing, but I couldn't shake the sad feeling all day. Art really moves me if I can feel something radiating from it, be it dark and depressing or whimsical and joyous.
