Art
I am taking an art history class this year and while I'm not too keen on actually drawing and learning about things like perspective and the color wheel, the pictures of art in the book is absolutely beautiful. I love to flip through and look at the exquisite paintings and flawless sculptures. Here are two of my favorites.
I absolutely adore this painting. The look on her face, the room, the draping sheets, the light. I could not imagine it more perfect.
The David statue. I love it. If you are mature enough to look past his obvious nakedness, you notice the amazing details. His muscles, his hair, his eyes, his hands and feet. It's all so realistic. It's amazing how a human body can come out of a chunk of rock. It's beautiful.

Oh wow, both of those are so beautiful. I also have little talent as an artist, but I love looking at it. The little details are what impress me the most...like the curl in the rug in the top picture and the definition of David's ribs, as if there were actually real ribs right under the statue. It blows my mind how artist can capture light and shadows so perfectly. I'm glad we share a love for art. :)
