2023 DC Trip with Friends :DD

I went to the DC trip with Parth and Nate. On the way to DC, Parth and I played Breath of the Wild.

The first museum we went to was The National Art Museum. We found many fonts used there. Most of the fonts we saw had serifs, like the one below. The artworks with importance or meaning usually had these fancy things added to the letters.

Some fonts were more informal and were sans-serifs instead. I think the ones without serifs conveyed less emotion and meaning.

In the National Art Museum's Gift Shop, there was a lot of cool items that had all sorts of different typography. We mostly took pictures of the books that had type. My favorite item based on its typography was probably the African Artists one; I think the font they created fits their culture.

In the second building of the National Art Museum, there was another Gift Shop we went to, of course after getting some ice cream and taking more random pictures. Here's Parth who took way too long to pose with the waterfall haha.

My favorite actual artwork from the National Art Museum would have to be Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse catching some fish. It also uses text in its art and emphasizes some of its words by making it bold.

After we finished with the National Art Museum, we went to the Hirshhorn. Every word in that museum was huge!

Everything was right in front of our eyes (literally).

There was a room painted full of words and phrases. It was filled with questions that made you think and question your life. Some were just out there and really stood out from the others, like the one above, which is more bold and ragged compared to the rest. In the Hirshhorn, the words and phrases used in its artworks and wall paintings are less formal than the National one. It is more simple, but it's still very aesthetically pleasing.

A lot of poetry surprisingly.

There was a lot of art forms in these museums overall.

This one was pretty interesting looking too. It kind of uses serifs, but takes some creative liberties with it and makes it its own thing.

Finally, here is the map we used, and struggled with for the National Art Museum. The Hirshhorn was pretty simple to get through, so there wasn't a map.

Anyway, thank you for reading!

Noticeable mention that wasn't an assignment or an artwork:

The three of us went into this random room that was kind of off the path. The room was very dark and eerie, until this screen played a women that was both singing like opera, while also seeming to be screaming and crying for help? It seemed really creepy and we felt like we were brainwashed for a bit. Anyway just something interesting I wanted to say.
