Art Appreciation 101

Me, Jonna, and Shara

It was Shara's idea to interpret jewelry designs found on Pinterest in an attempt to break the monotony of everyday work.This exercise provides comic relief as well. From eccentric rings and comic facial expressions to house architecture, we have now moved on to interpret abstract paintings. It's interesting since Jonna attended painting classes and she was able to educate us on how to make out patterns/meanings in abstract works of art. Our interpretations have improved; we now know that we need to step back and squint, if necessary, to look at the bigger picture, instead of focusing on the nitty-gritty details which, sometimes, hinder authentic understanding. You need to step back and look at the bigger picture. True in art, true in life. Sometimes, all you need is a change of perspective.

Happy Monday everyone! :)
