Smithsonian American Art Museum: 1st Impressions  

1st  impressions - Art can be challenging when it doesn’t look like anything you’ve seen before; it isn’t “beautiful” (what does beautiful mean anyway?) or shreds and stacks a common material, like paper. The Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection encapsulates America’s stories from before the Constitution was signed to today’s conflicts and dreams. When the average museum-goer spends 5 seconds looking at an artwork, what do they gain from these 1st Impressions? Why spend more time with that artwork? Why do art museums and artworks even exist? What relevancy does it have to your world? Explore the answers to these questions by digging into the secrets of artworks ranging from recognizable human figures to abstractions.
