arti fatrti me!

ok yest i was at orchard library. suppose to study there but i spent much, if not all of my time reading TIME mag( they have all the latest issues jean!) and book on 'Renaissance history and art'.


Do you know, that the movement of renaissance period was started by franciscians under St Francis Assicis!

the cross we use for P&W, is an art piece! K maybe you guys are going 'duh....' now, sorry! i was just enlightened today!

anyway prior to knowing the history behind the painting, when i first saw the cross in our room, the first thought which came to my mind was," huh... why the picture cartoon one, he doesn't even look like he is in pain!"

So praise lord, my 'intense study' of ART gave me new insights bout the painting itself. Don't you think that Jesus looks elevated and not pinned to the cross itself-nth can prevent him from doing his works
and his buttocks were enhanced to show the humanity and humility in him, to show that he was one of us and lived like one of us! and died for all of us.

so it wasn't a bad painting, it was done on purpose, an interpretation the artist wanted us to achieve on our own curiosity, so that it will leave a vivid impression in all of us!

anyway if you wanna borrow the book, get it at Orchard Library! since majority 99.9% of Singaporeans are more engrossed in stupid chinese variety shows( ok i am stereotyping ha!) , the book should be available most of the time.

Ok happy studying everyone... gonna zip my mouth for rest of the day, very hard can!
