A Wonderful field trip to AGO
The day before yesterday our Linc school students had
a wonderful field trip to The Art of Gallery of Ontario (AGO), which was planned
and organized by our English teacher.
AGO is a famous place in Canada which located at
317 Dundas St. West of Toronto. It was founded in 1900 by a group of private
citizens as the Art Museum of Toronto, then renamed the name Art Gallery of Toronto
in 1919 and finally got its name “Art of Gallery of Ontario (AGO)” in 1966. AGO
is one of the largest art museums in North America, it holds more than 80000
works in its collection, which spans from 100 A.D. to the present.
We enjoyed many paintings in AGO and the painting named
‘The Wooden Shoes’ is the one I like most because the painter used the bright
color and fluid strokes which makes me feel peaceful and pleasant. In fact I like
nearly all of them and the only one I don’t like is the art piece made from
golf bags. Though it try to embody the meaning in a special and creative way it
couldn’t arouse me any aesthetic feeling.
