Field Trip :)

I went and stayed for 40 minutes :)

A picture worth a thousand words

rests in a confusion, for those to see

someone raised to life, feelings of sympathy

unaware and too distant for concern,

upon skin-pale skin, i still gaze

Imagine the one who did this, lost

what they tried to get across

and the painting of such lovely colors:

blood red, violet, bright yellow

and fierce, nature green.

Framed like a window

to the artist's heart, you cannot see

all that is before is a painting to thee

and uncomprehending the meaning

offering what it can and must

to those who stop and stare

all around are a cries for prayer

And below him, are word printed over our world for

all eternity.

I had no idea that we had a museum of art. I was so excited I love stuff like this! It gives me such appreciation because I cannot do things like this. It intrigues me and makes me get excited like I should start some type of new hobby. I love that this class has opened my eyes to all that is around me and to become more aware when I am in a different place that there are so many things to explore and get to know. At the museum I re read all the literature and at first was quite eye opening I was looking at paintings and pictures and sculptures and reading and seeing that I can relate or pick things out a lot easier now. It was so weird, but I really enjoyed it. I loved seeing the different types of art there were. It's so weird to get into an artist head or at least to try to. To get that deep in a painting takes pure talent from God. I love the different interpretations people get when they look at paintings, and that is what my poem is sort of about. Because I may look at one type of painting and become quite sad, however someone else could really appreciate it and like the way it is done. I find this so neat, and I think that reading and art go hand in hand. They are identical and a way to keep ourselves in tuned with the world around us. I have such a huge appreciation for art, and now I am excited there is another place for me to go. I thought it was so neat, and I enjoyed being there. It was definitely a good experience to walk and see the different things the place had. I loved it all !
