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.

It is good to know how to analyze a piece of art Ambrosio, however, I have the same problem and I can't analyze any piece of art. When Melanie took us to the Art Museum, I couldn't notice any difference between the sculptures.

Maybe you can ask for Xavi's help in analyzing arts!!

It is nice to know that this paint reminded you of your father's farm though.

Thank you for sharing Ambrosio!!

I'm also not good at art, but we can feel paitings or music. When I see the paintings, I am used to naming them as I pease ^^. Sometimes I am suprised that the name that I called is the same to the real name. hahaha
