AP Art Museum Visit


What I liked about the museum was how different the paintings were. Some of them portrayed old Balinese life with developed agriculture and almost no tourism. The other ones were all about their modern way of life. Those were mostly paintings of Indonesians with phones and computers, involved in such activities as surfing and shopping. The clothes were very different too: the contrast between the traditional modest clothes and modern Europeanized ones is obvious. Three things I learned were the way Indonesians saw their lives before and after the industrialization, which one they respected more, and how they went about showing that.
