Norton Simon Museum Study Visit

womanteteWe went to The Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena to primarily study and experience colors thru the three Masterpieces from Musee d’Orsay temporarily on display at the museum. In addition, the museum has a wide selection of great paintings and art pieces that we were interested in seeing up close to get a better feel of how to use colors and shapes in our films. A great day with lots of fun and learning.
