Monday Muses: Art

     One thing I find inspirational is visual art. I think this inspires me because of my interest in it. One piece of artwork that I think is inspirational is the 'pipe' painting by Rene Magritte. I think it is inspirational because it really made me think when I saw it. I thought that it was different and that it wasn't just a good painting, but it had a message he was trying to portray when painting this painting.
     Another thing that was inspirational about it was that it had a deeper meaning than other pieces of artwork. I thought that the meaning of it was part of the artwork. I thought the idea he was trying to portray was that when he painted,"this is not a pipe" on his painting he meant that the painting itself is not a pipe because it is a painting. I thought this painting was interesting because it requires an explanation to really understand it.
     This painting inspired me to think outside of the box like Magritte did when he painted this. It inspired me to do this because he did this when he painted things. I am inspired to because he didn't choose to just paint an ordinary object, but to create a story to go behind it. One other thing this painting taught me was to go beyond the ordinary and to do something unexpected. This painting taught me this because he didn't just paint a ordinary object, but he did something unexpected by writing that message underneath it.
     This painting along with art is inspirational to me because art has taught me many things. Art has taught me that there are many possibilities that haven't been thought of yet. I also learned that there can be many interpretations of the same object and they can all be different than the last.
