Coronado's English teacher, Mr. Sifes, said that as a University of Texas alumn, he wanted his students to have the same experience he had when he visited the gallery for the first time as a freshman at this university. For many others, visiting the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art is also a crucial part in the process of gaining knowledge. A vivid example of this is University of Texas freshman Christopher Palmer. He majors in Art History at the university and said that he not only visits the gallery because is part of his study, but also because he really enjoys spending time there. It can be relaxing for anybody.
People can come during the day in between classes to sit or to even take a nap.
Palmer said his favorite part of the gallery was the Surrealist Collection. I'm a firm believer that art should be a pretty thing, or just something new. He said he also enjoys the fact that the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art offers a variety of exhibitions. As an Art History student, Palmer said he wants other people to enjoy art as much as he does. Art is a necessity.
