Auvers Town Hall on 14

In Chinese culture weren’t dragons some form of spiritual deities. Well in Van Gogh's painting of Auvers Town Hall on 14 we see an building in the middle which according to the title of the painting I assume is the town hall. However, what captured most my attention was the fact there is a walkway made by walking between these two trees. At first they same like simple trees but when you look at them a little closer you see that the trees foliage is actually the body of a young dragon. This backs up that idea that Van Gogh had changed his view on religion, he no longer just looked in the heavens but also in everyday nature like shown with the dragons. This painting gives me a mood of festivity and alive. Although the painting itself doesn't have a lot going on, I like Its simplicity of decorations.

Cultural Diet

As humans we are attracted to other humans that share some of what makes us, us. Everyone has a different “cultural diet” as you can say; however, we find similarities in others. What makes each one unique is what we consume in the aspects of arts and music. For example, I consider myself to be a lover of music and poetry. I listen to all genres of music but, my favorite at the moment are Indie and  Hispanic music. Whenever I am feel happy or upset I listen to music and it gives me a sense of relaxation. I'm not very musical but I'm interested in learning to play many instruments. I have played the violin for 7 years and enjoy classical music quite a bit. I get the chill listening to how the cello or violin all have their own sound and are able to make such moving music together. Reading books isn't really an interest in mine however I do love poetry. The fact that they can put feeling and emotions into words that someone they don't know can relate is a gift. I would like to learn how to express myself in such a way instead of keeping my dwelling bottled up. I enjoy watching movies, action preferably, and tv shows such as comic books, police investigations, and medical shows. Who I am as a person I think can be reflected on what I like to do,listen,or see. I'm open to new ideas and meeting new people who share or don't share the same interests I do and that's what makes me, me.
