You Speak Truth

I'm really enjoying seeing the connection with art, history, and literature. It is so interesting to me to really engage in the art here because I am surrounded by it. My apprecition for art has already increased in the short time I have been here. For the first time I am beginning to think about art from an intelectual standpoint. Just in the few minutes of being in the AShmolean, I feel like I connected with the artists on a deep level. The most moving pieces to me are those that examine specific moments in time. I love the reactions on peoples' faces. At this point I have not decided which kind of art is my favorite but I'm eager to form my own opinions. I have never really been challenged to have a mind of my own when it comes to art. I have always been told who is good, but I have never had a lot of time to delve into the art myself and see who and what I like and why I appreciate it.
