Artifacts

Artifact 1

My first artifact is a water color painting I purchased while  studying abroad in Costa Rica during my senior year of high school. The artifact is important  to me because it not only reminds me of the wonderful experiences and adventures I got to share with my classmates, but also because it reminds me of my interest in travel, and the value of embracing new, exciting, and diverse experiences. Also, I enjoy paintings, and its a fitting addition to my current collection.

 

Artifact 2

My second artifact is a post card of “Dance (1)” by Henri Matisse that I purchased from the New York MoMA over fall break. Like the Costa Rican watercolor, I appreciate this artifact because it reminds me of the fun adventures I have had, and it reminds me to continue to be adventurous. Also, I really enjoy the painting, and I feel that it adds a nice sense of atmosphere to the decorations of my room.
