When I think about art, I often get lost in thought. Art is weird like that. Sometimes you can look at a painting and think, "Oh, I understand." Other times, it's more difficult. I can look at some Banksy prints and I can feel so many different things depending on what I'm looking at.
In elementary school, we had art day once a month. A parent would come in and teach us about a specific artist and a famous painting that they did. My favorite was always The persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali. I'm sure most people have seen the piece before. It is a scene at dusk with a horse laying on its side and a tree branch. On these are clocks that seem to be melting away. I find this piece to be very interesting. Not only that, but beautiful. What does this painting truely represent? I'm not certain. I'd like to think that in some aspect of thinking, time blends in with reality and everything becomes mixed up and lost. But thats the joy of art. It is really open to some crazy interpretations. And Dali did some really wonderful paintings.
