Lecture

Today in lecture we did 5 different presentation. Although i missed a few of them, i do remember some. I remember the presentation on monet. The presenter talked about monet's love of painting where the land meets the ocean. It was a period of transition to where the paintings became less realistic and impressionistic. Personally, i like monet's style more than the artists that painting super realistic. Monet's paintings remind me of van Gogh's paintings but a little more realistic. I also remember a presentation with the video in it. I really didn't know what was going on in the video but there were clay people in an art museum and one kid was listening to music. Next thing i know, the art was coming to life and everyone started dancing together. I thought it was funny but at the same time it was pretty awesome. Another thing i remember from the presentation is the sky raining people. Well i couldn't exactly say that they were raining but it was full of people standing in the sky. The presenter also showed that the art was used in advertisement like for the korean phone. There was also a picture of a giant rose in the middle of the room. i can't exactly remember what the title was but there were at least 3 different answers as to what the painting meant. Very different answers yet they were all really good answers that made sense. I always found it amazing that ever since glen pointed out that artists just ask the questions, i began to notice it more. This painting was a perfect example. It just posed a question and we got 3 different answers. These presentations really reminded me of one of the reasons that i love art.
