My son and I went to the Art Gallery of Ontario with Joseph and my classmates recently. The Art Gallery of Ontario is near Chinatown downtown. The acronym of Art Gallery of Ontario is AGO. The AGO has collected a lot of art works. Special for now, AGO is exhibiting the masterpieces of Picasso, so I was very excited on this trip.
It was a gorgeous day. We took the subway to Sheppard Yonge station to meet Joseph and my classmates. We left for AGO together at 9:15 a.m. We arrived the St. Patrick station. We turned left on University Ave. and up to Dundas St., after five minutes, we saw a large modern building on our left. Joseph is a nice teacher. He led us on a walk around the building to introduce to us this building. We took some wonderful pictures before finishing the short trip around the AGO building. We came into AGO from the main entrance where there is a hall in which we stood in the line to get the tickets. after that we went to level 2 to visit the Picasso exhibition. There, people were appreciating Picasso's works that were created by from 1900 to 1972. I also enjoyed looking at them. I had a great time. The time passed quickly. I had to go with my classmates for a look around other works. At noon, we had a short tour Chinatown trip. After lunch, my son and I went back into AGO to continue our fun travel. We saw an excellent ship model show in the lower level which my son liked very much. And then we viewed the contemporary arts on levels 4 and 5, When we saw the original works of arts, we were moved by them. In the end, we appreciated many pieces of Canadian and European Art.
When my son and I returned home from the AGO, it was six clock. The wonderful trip to AGO had helped me realize my dream of seeing of famous Picasso originals. In the other hand, it also helped me to understand Canadian culture. I hope to visit the AGO again.
