Yesterday was a very full day! We got out to an early start, we left the hotel around 9:30 am and didn’t get home until 11:15 pm. We took a few tubes to get to Paddington train station and then we caught a train to Bath. We almost didn’t make it on the train due …

Perhaps I’m Not Modern Enough?
Yesterday, our group had the opportunity to visit the Tate Modern Museum to enjoy the different galleries of modern art. Although, I must say, I did not particularly enjoy it. This is not to say that I think all modern art is bad. I found a few pieces of art that made me feel things …
The Tate Museum of Modern Art and A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Shakespeare’s Globe- Day 5 and 7
A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Tate Modern Museum (at least the two pieces of art I’m going to be focusing on) had an underlying theme of feminism and female empowerment for me. Both of these activities reminded me that even though it can suck to be a female in the arts (because oh boy can …
the joining of intellect and relaxation
Our first Monday was a nice restful day. On May 29th, I went to the Tate Museum of Modern Art, finally had fish and chips, got a new book, and read (and napped) in the park. To describe the most exciting, London exclusive part of the day, the Tate Museum, I will be focusing on …
Tate Modern / Midsummer
Yesterday we went to the Tate Modern Art Museum! I enjoyed looking at all of the art that was being displayed and reading about the different artists that took photographs or made paintings, and sculptures that were apart of the museum. We spent an hour and a half in the museum and I think that …
M^2, Midsummer and Modern Art
I absolutely loved A Midsummers Night’s Dream at The Globe! It was the best Shakespeare production I’ve ever seen and kept me enthralled throughout the entire thing. The actors did a great job connecting to each other and the audience simultaneously. It was beautiful how they reacted to everything happening around them in time and …
Art In Many Forms
The two major topics that I want to discuss in this blog are A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the Tate Modern Art Museum, so let’s get into it. A Midsummer Night’s Dream was entertaining and colorful. I started off sitting in our assigned seats for the first act and then I moved to the “groundling” …
Matisse and Midsummer
Yesterday we embarked on one of my favorite activities, art museuming! We walked through all the pigeons and across the Millennium Bridge to get to Tate Modern Art Museum. This museum was huge with over four floors full of free art and cheap exhibits. We were set free to wander around and view all the …
St. Paul’s and a Dream
For our first Saturday in London, we had two items on the agenda: St. Paul’s Cathedral and A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream in the rebuilt Globe Theatre. St. Paul’s Cathedral is a beautiful looming building just off of the River Thames. Walking to the church from the Tube stop, we passed Paternoster Row. I was excited …
A Woman’s Rage: Art and Theatre
In the Tate Modern Museum what I found most impactful was the Guerilla Girls section. The Guerilla Girls are an anonymous group of women artists who combat sexism and racism within the art world. These women’s murals were tugging at my heart strings immensely. Most of the art pieces were text style posters that were …
