I really enjoy seeing the paintings first hand rather than in books because then you actually get to "see" it. You get to see how big the painting really is and the different brush strokes and textures that it is. In books or on-line it still looks good but I feel that it doesn't give the painting or sculpture enough justice for how beautiful it looks in person.
I had really liked this painting because of the artists use of bold colours. I feel that the colours really grabbed my attention and made me want to look at it some more. This painting was a very smooth textured painting. Also I feel like the different lines of colours just kept me in the painting. My focus was just in it because the lines would just keep leading into one another. It really kept me inside of the painting which was one thing that I had really liked about it.
The other thing I had really enjoyed about the AGO was the two showcases of bottles. These showcases were huge and were just filled with different types of bottles! They seemed to be bottles from many different places and every bottle had unique features. i thought it was so cool to think that every bottle was different and every bottle had a different meaning to them. Every single bottle had different textures and shapes and that just kept me looking at them trying to take in every single one. These bottles were so interesting and had me really intrigued!
Overall I had really enjoyed going to the AGO and would love to go again to spend more time looking at different paintings. I encourage everyone to go to the AGO! :)
