Through our Arts in NYC Macaulay course at Baruch College, our IDC class has been given a chance to explore the diversity and beauty of New York City. We explore NYC while trying to understand how a variety of public art and the interactions of people add to the beauty of the city. We studied various street photographers such as Henri Cartier Bresson and Valerie Jardin which allowed us to understand and grasp the intricacies and motives behind the need to capture life as it blossoms around us in its purest form. By taking part in the Street Photography project, each individual of our class has been given the opportunity to express their unique vision through the various photographs they have captured. We have discovered the hidden creativity that lies in all of us. Before this project, many of our classmates claimed they did not have an artistic side. However, through simply clicking a button and taking the time to thoroughly look at our own photographs, many of us have been able to pinpoint exactly what excites us as people while also showing us all that NYC has to offer which continues to intrigue us.
Please enjoy our insights into the city of New York through our photographs!
