On Thursday, May 20th, we went to the Peggy Guggenheim museum. I learned lots of things there. For example, I learned that the avant-grand movements and periods represented included: Cubism, Futurism, European abstraction, Surrealism and early works of American Expressionism. The Peggy Guggenheim museum was very interesting, and my favorite painting was a painting painted by René Magritte called “Empire of Light”. It was oil on canvas. That painting was my favorite one.
There were lots of paintings in the museum by artists including Picasso, René Magritte, Jackson Pollock, and Peggine Guggenheim, the daughter of Peggy Guggenheim. Her mother inspired her to paint so in the museum there is one room dedicated only to her, filled with several of her paintings. Her paintings are really colorful! Her paintings make people think of happiness because all the colors are very happy and very bright!
After we went all around the museum we went to the gift shop and all of sixth grade students bought a postcard to remind us of the Peggy Guggenheim museum. This museum is probably the nicest museum in the
whole of Venice, and we all really enjoyed it!
