Notes
I just finished annotating a realist image and analysing a painting of a historical event and I have to say that annotating became more fun with every image I annotated so far as I start knowing more about the background of things and for me art becomes more interesting when it transfers from Romanticism to Realism and I am about to start reading about Impressionism which is one of my favourite art periods and it is very interesting to not only get a glimpse of things and bits and pieces of art history but to actually understand the context and how one art period transferred to another one and how it was influenced by different things and how every art period also wants to express something else. It is a lot of fun doing this! I still have a hard time with reading about architecture and photography as I don’t know much about it and I mostly went to museum to see actual paintings from different art periods rather than looking at architecture and photography from back then.
