class

This week we covered so much in class that I can’t remember everything! I actually left both days with head hurting and wondering how I was going to get through this midterm alive. It was very interesting as we talked about art and how it has evolved over time. I cannot believe how well the colors are preserved in frescos and some of the other paintings that have been done. I have decided that I really like Picasso. I like the idea of painting a three dimensional object with a two dimensional view. His art makes a lot more sense when you know that fact. Most people think he was just some crazy guy who painted very weird things but this is an instance when knowing the background information on what he was painting and trying to portray helps a lot with your review of his art. I also liked going through sculpture this week too. That is something that I have always been interested in because my sister is really good at it and I suck at it. A lot of these artists were excellent with more than one medium as well. They could sculpt or paint and it was amazing either way. Even though these classes are completely full of information I still manage to learn something each time. I can’t wait till we get to music.
