Having a "what degree should I be doing" dilemma.
Sitting in the library, all cozed up.. reading my Art History stuff.. and just looking at these fantastic paintings. And all I can think of is: WHY DO I HAVE TO DO SD!?? Art histroy makes me care, it makes me study and most importantly it makes me feel something towards the subject. SD gives me non of that.. I don't like it, which means I don't care, which means I don't put any effort in... evidentially: I feel nothing towards SD more then complete and utter indifference.
Oh well.. I hate that I will be forced to make a decision this winter to which one I should stay in. Because honours are coming up, and I will have to make a decision of what degree I want to do.
I basically just wish life was easier.
But LOOK at this!! My favourite painting right now with out a single doubt. Is illustrates Saturn eating one of his sons, after learning that the only way he will die is if he is killed by one of his own sons. ANd this painting, like many of Goya's darker paintings that he draw at the end of his life when he was suffereing from mental illness, shows the dark ways and horrors of superstition. So much anxiety in one painting. (And like a lot of people.. things that makes us feel awkward fasinates us)
yea.. I love it basically.
Goya - Saturn Devouring His Childen (1820)
