Thanks for an excellent quarter, Nora. I hope that you have learned as much about experiencing art as much as I have. #ConArtInSitu #lit

1. All in all, this was a very meaningful class in terms of developing my own thoughts and ability to write about the aesthetic experience. I think that this framework will be essential in thinking about art from here on out.

1. I thought about my cat at home and how she is not aware of aesthetic experiences, the right ways to talk about contemporary art, how to meaningfully journal her experiences, etc. In a way, she is spared from the frustration of understading.

1. I wonder about where I will be in either 1 year, or even 20 years. I think about the fact that I might forget my experience with these artworks. Will it really have been meaningful if I might forget?

1. I will try to convince my friends about the wonders of the aesthetic experience. It is indeterminate, but it takes you down a rabbit hole that is worthwhile.

1. will come back in a year to these posts and think about the journey of aesthetic experience that I had. But: at what point does someone forget about meaningful experiences as such and the lessons learned?

1. I like that the week I visited Pia Fries, I felt fear in looking at the painting. I thought that was so funny and outrageous that that even happened. That whole sect of the museum became a meme to me; my interpretation sprouted into something else.

1. Stocking Nude, Jawjay, and others in the contemporary section almost felt like teammates at this point. They frustrated me, I had to deal with them, but at the end of the day they helped me to understand a bigger picture about art

1. I wondered when the next time that I would return to the museum would be. I didn’t really feel motivated to come back, and wondered if it was because of my experience here

1. I decided to play some music in headphones. I played ambient electronic music and was able to sit through the entire album without wanting to skip any tracks. It felt synchronous with the painting.

1. This drawing had become a meme to me. What would I do when I did not have to return to this museum and hate myself for a couple hours? The relationship with this drawing was deep at this point and would not want it any other way.

1. I came to the museum by myself that day obviously, and also noticed that there was a smaller group of people in the museum in general. I kept thinking about that instead of the aesthetic experience after a while.

1. By finding something grounding and common between the artist and I, it enriched the experience of looking at the art.

1. I was able to put aside my frustration towards the contemporary section and thought about the artists, how they have experienced what I have often before. Realizing that was comforting.

1. To me, Nude Stocking was not some sort of profound drawing anymore, it was just a lump of matter that I dedicated to spend hours sitting in front of. That’s how meaningful this experience was

1. Mental obstacles in the form of trying to understand the aesthetic experience are among the hardest things to overcome. At this point, I felt comfortable in admitting that I did not really care any more.

1. I thought back to how enriching the past weeks have been. Through mental frustration in staring at paintings for long periods of time, I felt at peace staring at the root of that frustration.

1. The artworks that I have seen these past weeks are major parts in shaping my development of ideas in my other classes that deal with aesthetics. I think that that demonstrates a success in my ability to write about contemporary art.

1. I enjoyed this week at the museum. It was a strong change from what I was used to, and would take this back to my home institution if I had the ability to. It was that meaningful.
