Appreciating Art

It's been almost two weeks since summer break started, and I wanted to post something new here, but I couldn't think of anything to write about. No creative juices active as of the moment, but I remembered that there were times that they have been in the past year, so I thought to just share some academic papers I'm quite proud to have written (and that I know won't be too boring to share). The first one that I want to share is one of my final papers for my Humanities II class, where we studied about Art, Man and Society. This was written last October 2010 as a reaction paper to our museum visit (which I thoroughly enjoyed). I'm quite proud of this because I'm not a person who's really into art (visual arts, that is), and yet this is the first paper to which I've acquired a grade of 1.00 (that's the highest grade in our grading system). I've put a lot of effort into this, so I'm really happy that it paid off very well.

Well then, here it is.



( I've learned that art really is an important facet of our society. It is not only a means through which the artist can express his or her thoughts and ideas; it is also a window to our history and a reflection of our culture. )

At the end of the 1st sem, I was really glad to have taken up Hum II because I really learned a lot from it. Even though I'm not really interested in the visual arts, it wasn't boring at all. It was actually quite interesting that because of it, I now learned how to appreciate art :)
