Some times art is too complex for me....


I must confess that I do not have much knowledge about art, so some times it is hard for me to analyze some paintings, sculptures or other types of art masterpieces. When I was an eight grader, there was a school course related with art. In Art Education classes I had the change to learn about Art History and the most important artists. However, I think those classes did not make a huge different in my artistic vision.

However, there are many pieces of art that I like. Among the painters I like the impressionists, and Claude Monet is my favorite. I put a picture of “Les Coquelicots a Argenteuil” (Poppy at Argenteuil) because it is my favorite Monet’s paintings. Truly, I do not know about either shape and trace or feelings expressed through the painting, but I like this canvas because it reminds me my father’s farm.

Additionally, I love the techniques of the impressionist painters because their canvases look like a picture; as if the painting keeps all the sensations that the image has.

Maybe in the future I might be able to learn more about painting technique, maybe I will see new varieties of art, but I always go to love the impressionist style.
