THis past week I have really been thinking about how much I'm going to miss this place. There's something about the history in the buildings I pass by every day, that give me a mystical feeling. The history, the architecture, the beautiful creation of the ultimate Artist. As I look back, I realize I have been to museums all over Europe to experience many types of art forms. Some of the best art I've seen, however, have not been in these museums.
I have learned that art is a form of expression and I have seen people express themselves in so many ways. I have seen it through dance, poetry, sidewalk chalk, street performers, street statues. I do not like all the forms of art I've seen, but I have grown to appreciate how art is an integral part of society. I don't know if it is because I am here, but it feels like art is more recognized , more widely appreciated, and more widely known about here in Europe.
I am planing on going back to London for a day before I leave to see the National and the Tate one more time. I love being here and having the opportunity to see all of these great pieces of art and history.
