Week 4

Last Thursday our class visited the MFA. I thought it was going to be a drag of a time but it was quite entertaining. I enjoyed everything, from the sculptures, to the paintings, to the story behind the works of art. My favorite part of the whole place was probably the Renaissance paintings.

Since I took a fingerprinting class when I was around 7 I understood how hard it is to paint things. The way those guys painted such detail was just amazing to me. My favorite painting was the last one we saw, in the basement, with the girls from the 17/1800's. They looked real it was like a gigantic Kodak picture. I still don't understand how that painter made it look so realistic. Kudos to him.

So far I've enjoyed both field trips we went to, I'd have to say I liked the MFA a tad bit more than the last art/technology museum we visited a couple weeks previous. I wonder where else we'll visit this semester.

NOTE: As a continuation of my last post, I came across another humorous Frankenstein picture. That is all.
