When I finally got to the museum, I drug my feet a bit at the thought of having to take another art history class and about having to write another art history paper. I flashed my yellow pass and got my clearance to enter. I clamped the DAM purple badge to my oversized jacket and was on my way to the elevator. I don't even like Chinese art work. I staggered around like a zombie whining the whole time.
There were a few pieces that I admired, nothing that I loved though. The large and intricately painted vases really stood out from everything else. I don't like things that are too complicated to even remember when you can't see them. I thought about writing about the little porcelain cups, but thought that tea drinking really couldn't be all that important to teach me about art. I circled the exhibit at least twelve times before an hour had passed and I had to get going soon. I sat down by this rather sloppy scroll of a landscape and found it much more real than anything else there. I selected Along the Wu River. It was done by a man named Shen Zhou who was born in China in 1947 and died in 1509. I liked some of the pieces that were showcased on the floor, but this is the one that I found to be a little mysterious.
