Midweek, we touched on the subject of the connection between art and literature. It was a topic I found very interesting, as someone who is deeply interested in both. We watched a TED Talk in which the woman who was speaking told us the stories that she gave to art, and how she was selective in the art that spoke to her. Friday we had actually talked about how we use art to communicate in one of my previous classes as well, and I enjoyed that the topics of my week overlapped. In AP Lit when we were given the option to do it ourselves, I enjoyed it. I think it's actually fun. Being able to look at a painting, where they're only giving you the story at surface level, it gives you an opportunity as the viewer to give any story you'd like to a painting, however it speaks to you. I loved giving the paintings stories. I learned that it's actually quite fun, and it makes you look at paintings a bit deeper than you would normally. I always actually found it hard to focus on art, as when the meaning wasn't straight forward, I was easily frustrated and bored by the painting. But this activity helped me actually enjoy art and find a way to create backstories for them, which made it a more fun experience after all. I'm glad that the activity both left me with a new idea of storytelling, as well as a new way to deeply appreciate art.
