Lesson in Art History

The works of Gaudi are absolutely stunning. I recommend seeing La Pedrera or Casa Mila, Casa Batllo, Parc Guell, and of course Sagrada Familia. You will be blown away by the amazing architecture. Pictures do not really do these building justice. 

I did not realize how intrigued I was by art and architecture until coming to barcelona. Getting to see the architectures, painting, and sculptures by some of the most famous artists in the world is something that I will appreciate and remember for the rest of my life. From Miro, to Dali, to Picasso, and Gaudi all of them have helped me to view art from a different perspective. 

I am very excited to see the works of Michaelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, Botticelli, Rembrandt, and Van Gough when I go to London, Italy, and Paris.

I feel like I am really getting to know the history and culture of Spain now. As my teacher was discussing different building in Barcelona, I was able to recall what I knew from visiting these places and follow along as an active participant.
