Change of Mind: Maya Lin Documentary

When we watched the Maya Lind Documentary in class it really made me think about some things differently. Before we watched it I figured that it was really easy to design memorials. I thought that the Government just picked someone to do it and they did it. I figured it was a really simple process that didn't take that long. I was very closed-minded on the subject.

After watching the movie I realize how much work actually goes into the memorials. I really appreciate the Vietnam Veterans memorial a lot more now. It's not that I didn't appreciate it before, but now that I have a deeper understanding of it, it really hits me on a deeper level. Now that I know how much work actually went in to creating the memorial it means a lot more to me. Now that I've seen how much work it actually took to create this I think I will appreciate a lot more things now. I think that I will look at things now and think about how much work went into creating them. I will have a more open-minded view of art and memorials.
