Art Museam Gallery 1

1. styles of art over history changes but the themes stay the same - sadness, frustration, anger, rage, patriotism, happiness, tension
2. The focus point of each art piece is different. I think its interesting to see what the artist decided to use as their focal point because it can completely change the entire image and the way that the view interrupts the image
3. The greeks started this whole body image thing. The museum included many greek sculptures and it really proved that body image has been a concept that humans have struggled with and obsessed over since the whenevers (i dont know dates)
4.The renaissance pieces are really dramatic - like i know that the renaissance is remembered because of again the themes but these pieces aren't trying to hid anything - if someone wanted to look sad then there would be 50 people crying in one piece. it made me wonder why today our handling of emotions has changed - the social norms of emotions have changed not the emotions.
