Advance Art Appreciation

I started class again last night. As usual, the first lesson would be on how to score for assignments and what is required in the first assignment. I have looked through the first assignment, and it seems pretty easy. Just an analysis of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 157 and an argumentative essay on euthanasia (hot topic amongst many lecturers).


Interesting! Hopefully I can ace it! I need to ace this module in order to keep my grades up! Unfortunately, last night’s lecture was on Advanced Art Appreciation, so the entire lecture was on abstract paintings and how to “see” and “interpret” them!


Now, all I know about abstract art is a whole mass of colours and patches and lines. In other words, a big messy glob! Abstract art, Picasso style, touches on feelings and what you feel when you see the picture, but other kinds of abstract art is just patterns and more patterns.


How in the world am I supposed to analyse that? As it is, I emerged from the lecture feeling more lost than before! Oh no, this is only the first lecture, thus supposed to be the easiest! If I cannot even understand the first lecture, it will be a big problem the rest of the semester!
