When some people come across this painting they feel melancholy and loneliness, it was

also painted for the birth of his nephew. How someone can feel sad and lonely when looking at

this painting is beyond me, but I suppose we all interpret art different.

I thing going to a museum is a meaningful experience. It is something that one should

feel different emotions, it is something that one should enjoy. Whether it is from new artists or

older artists, it should give them some sense of different feeling. There is so much emotion

waiting to be captured waiting to be felt. And like I said every person interprets art differently, so

one person could feel sad looking at Iris at Sea by Jamie Wyeth, a painter from Maine or one

person could feel joy from Sad Clownby Barry Leighton-Jones. We learn things differently just

like we feel things differently. That is why I feel it is a meaningful experience.

I feel as though both are beneficial. In person because you can feel more of an authentic

experience, but also online because its generally free, and youre not being corrupt as to how

you feel about that work of art. I believe that one individuals interpretation is important, it is

something they can call their own. Just like I knowAlmond Blossom has the meaning of sadness

behind it, but I feel joy and warmth. Its not meaningful if someone tells you what you are going

to feel.

My on-line experience was pretty neat. I got to see paintings from other countries that I

wouldnt have been able to see, it was calm and quite, it was something that I would do again

due to the fact that it is free and I can do it in my own time any time of day.
