art museum :)

We went to the art museum today. I was so excited for this, I have never been to an actual art museum and i've always wantekid d to. I love every type of art; paintings, sculptures, music, dance, theatre. Art is the perfect way to express you emotions. It's also one of those things that doesn't have a set answer, it truely shows that everything is not black or white.
There was one piece of art work that stuck out the most to me. It was the last one we saw. The lady giving us a tour asked students what they thought it was but I couldn't quite answer because I thought there was a lot more behind it then what met the eye. I noticed most the same things that the rest of the class noticed but somethings stuck out to me. A kid mentioned that it looked like something was sucking a person down. I thought this too but I also noticed that the colors weren't just a bunch of random colors but they were earthly tones like shades of brown and green. I connected that to of course the earth, but then I connected how we live our lives on earth. So I felt like this artist was trying to get the feeling that life sucks you in. Then the tour lady said the title was something warrior and i realized life is about fighting every day not just fights with people but every thing; fights with your self, fights with health, etc. I really connected with this painting because I have been stressed and this picture in a way pointed out that thats how life is and there is nothing you can do about it.
Thats why I love art, it makes you look deep inside your self and realize things that aren't blind sight.
