In the moment....


Today for my Art & Technology class we went to the MFA, to view art work from many different time periods, some of which included:Renaissance, Egyptian and Pre-Christina Era. I felt as if I was running (literally running) through different time periods. In each room I felt a different atmosphere, some felt very soothing while others felt as if I was in castle and didn't want to make the wrong move. When I walked into the room with the Impressionist paintings I was in awe. My favorite artist in this room was Claude Monet; I really enjoyed how he worked with light. When looking at his paintings I felt at ease and comfort. Within all of his paintings I felt happiness in the atmosphere I experienced when viewing.


Then I came across this painting by Monet on the Internet which I don’t think the MFA had but I think this painting is absolutely gorgeous and wish I got to see in person. I love all of the bright colors, also gives me a feeling of happiness. I really enjoy going over the MFA to see the paintings that we discuss in class, I am able to get the full understanding of the piece of art work really seeing it in person, we are very lucky to have a teacher who is so motivated to allow us to experience this. I look forward to more field trips :)
