Este é um espaço de partilha de trabalhos e ideias sobre artes.
Para a postagem 100 deixo-vos um lado da escultura de Rodin (um escultor que vai ser muito falado no 12º ano) que está no MNAA e um "pequeno" texto para refletir. (eu sei que está em inglês...mas é para se começarem a habituar)
"We have all heard stories of people going to museums in the days following September 11, just to be there, quietly, safe in the company of things that are beautiful and impossibly fragile, yet that have lasted for centuries through war and tumult to lay claim still on our imaginations. (…) As German fire bombs and rockets rained down upon the city, the people of London called for Old Master pictures to be put back on view (they had been kept in safe storage deep in Wales ever since the start of the war). And they were: one painting at a time, a different painting each month. It was if the gallery’s visitors were saying that as long as their artistic legacy was on view for them to enjoy (even if only one painting at a time) they could be assured that life would go on as before and that they still had the right to see – indeed still had the capacity for, however dark the days and long the nights were – beauty in the world, their world, a just and purposeful world. "
