Art Appreciation Day: A Day at the National Art Gallery
In celebration of the National Heritage Month, the National Museum opened its doors to the public for free. As word of free admission traveled fast, people began flocking the National Museum, including us. It's not like we haven't been to the National Museum before. It's actually our second time and my room mates and I have been meaning to visit a museum, particularly Museo Pambata, as childish at it sounds. Also, the last time we visited, we weren't able to enjoy the National Art Gallery, partly because we weren't allowed to see the sculptures due to the number of people in our field trip (they're afraid we might break something) and partly because it was undergoing renovation.
I'm not exactly an art enthusiast so I don't really know how to appreciate abstract paintings and the like. I'm not an art expert so I only took pictures of artworks that has captivated me, a mere layman in the field of art. I won't be including pictures of paintings I have seen during our first visit, so feel free to enjoy the next sights as much as I did.

| I don't know what these paintings mean but I loved how the artist played with the colors. |

| How could something so detailed and incredible be born out of a thousand strokes of a pen? |
 |
| Coz i'm trying to blend in. |
 |
| I'm not a fan of yellow but I definitely like this one. |

| If you watched Heneral Luna, you'll know what this is.;) |
 |
| Coz the Museum held too many artworks that the structure and design of the building was rarely noticed. |
It was a worthwhile day. First, because I was finally able to see the works of the national artist I have only read in books. Second, because my room mates and I got to do something out of ordinary. By out of ordinary I mean something that doesn't involve sleeping all day long or watching movies or only getting out of the house to buy food.
