Today, we embarked on a great adventure into the heart of the city. We awoke early and headed out on the metro for the first time in the study abroad. Then much walking took place as we traveled to where we would catch a ferry to take us to Niterói Contemporary Art Museum in the aforementioned city. This was a super cool museum! It resembled the architecture of a retro spaceship.
Just outside the museum we took our first group photo in front of Guamabara Bay! Inside we found a gallery arranged with stunning artwork. We explored for a bit and then headed to a much needed lunch underneath the museum. The lunch was full of main dishes with aesthetic properties. After we all had our share of food and conversation, we went straight to work for our assignment of the day. We each chose a piece of artwork that caught our eye and sketched it for about an hour. This really taught us about object and form, plus the artwork was so beautiful; it was fun!
After a very exhausting excursion we finally headed back to good ol' Atlantis Copacabana hotel. Ciao!
