Input from the Taipei Fine Arts Museum

On Thursday, our teachers are taking us to an art gallery to see art. The two works of art that make me feel the most are a painting called “A Scenery in the Rank Badge” and “The Promised Land”.

These two drawings give me a feeling that I think is very cool. The first time I saw this drawing, I saw the crane first. And then I feel like is talking about an adventure story. I think maybe the artist wants us to feel more like holy feeling. I think when the artist makes this artwork, he might think about shrines, deep mountains, martial arts, or something like that.

I think the story behind this artwork is talking about pirates who are on an expedition or treasure hunt and encounter cranes on the way. However, the crane represents auspiciousness and good luck. Because he met the crane, so his adventure was successful and he found the treasure. I think this artwork will make me this kind of feeling because the artist makes two pictures put together, and a lot of things are put together into a painting.

I think other people will think differently from me. I think they may feel like a crane walking on a mountain, something like that. I think they will think differently from me because my ideas are rather special and different from others.

I think this artwork gives me a very different view of the world. Before I didn’t think about pirates can meet a crane, and because of the crane, he finds the things that he wants to find. I think for first encountered the work, I think the works are very cool and interesting. After I looked at the work more, I feel like every artist has a different story and different feelings that they wanna tell us. After I left the artwork, I feel like the artist is very cool and their idea is special, the things that they make have their own style.
