Interest in Art....24 July 2008

Today’s class was amazing! Dr.Edwin taught us to read picture. It was the picture of the Fall of Icarus. In the last class he asked us to find picture of the Fall of Icarus, unfortunately I got the wrong picture. Well, I thought of the fall as in literal meaning. I actually got the exact picture of Icarus falling, which was quite funny though, it was actually the landscape of the Icarus falling and not the exact picture of him falling. At first, I was thinking what was in that picture!, there’s no Icarus, and no falling!!I only could see his one leg in the lake. Then Dr. Edwin explain the significant of the picture. It actually shows that no one cares about Icarus and that he has fell in the lake. His falling was only significant to his father who felt the lost of his son. Never in my mind did I think of that! It was really great to be able to read picture. It makes me appreciate art.
