Emily Carr

we visited an art museum last Friday and it was really fun. we learned about a famous canadian painter Emily Carr. From her work i can see that she loves native culture theme and environment theme.

Lots of her work express her idea about all kinds of culture events and her life goals. Some pictures make people feel happy, but most of her works show out her sadness and depression.

Sometimes she worried about the Canada's environment and sometimes she cared about native people's lives, and she use her pictures to record and express her own idea.

I like some of her pics but some of them are hard to understand, they are hard to tell meanings. i like this kind of activity cuz it was fun and we learned a lot from it, and it is worth to spend 10 bucks to learn something meaningful. But i really dont like the lights in the musuem because they made me sleepy.............................zzzz......eventhough i wanted to see more pics but i left early because i was almost fall into sleep~~......................

I liked the not too somber pictures of nature, but not the really dark ones. In some muesums they have comfortable couches, but you would have probably fallen asleep on one of those!
