Our Perspective on Poetry and Art

Visiting an Art Gallery tomorrow will really give us a new perspective on the way we can interrupt literature. For example, sometimes poems are used as a reference to what the author is trying to convey. It's hidden within the complexities of phrases or statements that really makes the reader think what the poet wants us to know. For instance, the poem we read in class didn't make sense to me at first. I thought it was about a guy who had an infatuation with a lady. It wasn't until I read it again that I really dug deep in what was happening with the plotline. That poem presented to me a completely different picture, one that I never saw the first time. That is how it is when it comes to looking at paintings. At first we just see a jumble of colors on a canvas and we can't help but wonder why this is even showcased. It is not until we look at it a second or third time that we can see the message that the painter wants to convey to his audience. Interprutation comes a long way in both poetry and art. We can not just look at it once and expect to know what its saying. Instead we need to look at it over and over and analyze what it's telling us. When we finally do figure it out, we see it in a whole different perspective.
