I really enjoyed reading your analysis of both Angelou and Ghirlandaio's works. I particularly liked how you pointed out how intimate the Old Man and his Grandson appeared to be depicted. I agree full heartedly, as I also choose to view the piece and noted the intimacy between the two. In term's of Maya Angelou, I did not know all of that about her history, and it changes my perspective on her writing of "Even the Stars Look Lonesome". I also liked how you noted the new ability to put a story behind art. I feel as though prior to this class, I personally only viewed art on a superficial level, but now am also able to analyze and put a story to it.
