Hi! My name is Mattie Hough and I am planning on studying Exercise Science at ASU. After college, I plan on attending graduate school to become a Physician’s Assistant. I have only been out of the country one time on a family trip to Mexico. I can’t wait to visit Belgium and the Netherlands because I love to experience other cultures. Also, it will be very cool to see some of the places and pieces of art that we studied in class!

In this class, I researched The Astronomer by Johannes Vermeer (see my documentary here). Vermeer was a Dutch artist and I can’t wait to see some of his rare paintings in real life! I think the artwork that I am most looking forward to seeing is The Ghent Altarpiece in St. Bavo’s Cathedral. I loved studying this piece and was so interested in it’s history and meaning. I can’t wait to embark on this awesome adventure!
