Comment on Brendan's Post

Hello Brendan! I decided to comment on your blog because it was different from what I wrote and had many ideas that I didn't really think of. It was also a well written blog too! As I read your blog, I found it interesting when you discussed the characters in the picture being Rivera's vision on Mexican unity. I really never thought of the painting like that, and I just found that to be something I can see once I look back at it. Another interesting ideal was your comparison to "The Last Supper" which was also something I didn't think of. One could even question if Diego Rivera was influenced by "The Last Supper" when creating the mural. Anyways, this blog post was really interesting and I enjoyed reading new incites I didn't think of!

Comment on Brianne's Post

Brianne, I really enjoyed your post this week. I totally agree with your idea that there is languages within the different ruins and historical places seen and visited. I enjoyed the poem by Gioconda Belli as well. Comparing it to Pablo Neruda's this last class made me realize how important these ruins are to people and how they mean and say so much. I too have felt a sense of memories through unspoken things, and it as powerful as, maybe even more powerful, things that we have heard and remember through spoken occurrences. Also, its often an unknown language to people who weren't there when the historical places were cities instead of ruins, but not knowing helps us question and try to understand the past which makes it that much more beautiful! Nice relation with Pablo Neruda! Nice post too! Good luck with the rest of the semester!

Nice post and video AJ! I too enjoyed the trip to Chicago. I was also really fascinated with how many connections we were able to make with the artwork at the museums. Although, I am not one that usually is able to understand art, being able to relate things that we learned in this class with the artwork made it a whole lot easier to understand it. Understanding the history and story behind the artwork also made it much more beautiful! I also favored the Mexican art museum too! However, I liked a few artworks, so I cannot say I had a favorite. Some of my favorite art pieces were from the Cuban art museum too. I enjoyed reading your post this week and watching your video!
