When trying to think of what to write on our first blog, I drew a blank. At first I was frustrated and upset at the fact that we were being forced to write this, but then as I thought about it, it started to intrigue me. I started to think about what we had been talking about in class. We spent a lot of time talking about art and the different interpretations each person had on a single piece. I thought it was very interesting how one thing could have so many different meanings to different people. For example the art piece we looked at that had the man and pregnant women in a bedroom. In my class alone their were at least four different ideas about the meaning of the piece and why the author made the faces of the people look sad. However, when I heard the real meaning behind it it changed my whole view on the picture. I feel that sometimes when we know how something is supposed to be viewed or interpreted we view it that way. We don't get the chance to use our own imaginations and create our own ideas. That is why I really liked doing that activity because we each had a chance to create our own ideas and then we we told what the true meaning was. In the end we got the best of both worlds.
