Field Trip to SF


In the field trip that we went it was really interesting due to all the buildings that we went to. We first went to the St.Mary’s Church which was interesting from the outside from the fact that of its interesting shape. The shape it had from the outside was like a triangle because all its angles were coming together in the top making it look like a triangle. From the inside it was really beautiful because of all the shapes and material it contained.  The church had a lot of marble that looked like it was taken really well off because of how shiny and clean it is taken care of. It also had wood in the walls, tile in the floor, glass in the chandelier, and it was either stone or cement what the rest was made of.
I also think that the organ was really interesting because it was very complicated in the sense of all the “poles” that it had where the sound comes out. I thought that it was very pretty as well because I have only seen organs that big in movies like “Beauty and the Beast”. Seeing in in person impressed me not necessarily the music that it was playing but the size of it and how complicated it looked to be constructed.
The SF church was beautiful. Its silence was magnificent. The paintings and the sculptures the church had were very interesting. I loved it completely.
Queen Anne’s houses in the contrary thought that they were ugly. I didn’t like them because they were old and the colors I felt didn’t match them. Some designs that the houses had were interesting but aside from that I didn’t like the houses at all.
Overall, I really liked that we just looked at the buildings and did sketches, not like last time in which we had to present each building. Although the artifacts of the building was interesting because we got to know about the building I think that sketching the building is much better, which left me thinking that this fieldtrip was much better than the last.
