I have officially failed at finding art relating to some lecture in the media this week. I tried to look at billboards, the little television that I watched, the random stuff posted in my dorm and I have not found anything. I do have to say that in all of this observation I have done this week I have found the small details of
various buildings, like Bovard, and the places I have been, like Notre Dame de Paris. Along with the lecture and these observations I have officially realized a love of mine of Gothic cathedrals. I a
m not sure exactly what it is about this architecture or historical reference, but I just feel entirely enthraled in this subject, more than any other up to this point in this course. When I went to France for two weeks this past June I think I took more photographs of cathedrals and churches than anything else, specifically I took 200 pictures of Notre Dame by itself. The bu
ilding techniques and art just amazed me and made me feel like there was so much beauty in the world and like there are things in the world so much bigger than the daily routine we live. Being non-denominational myself I can see and feel how these churches were built to be places of comfort and belief and of godly proportions and acted as a way to keep people in belief and loyal to the c
hurch. I stand in a cathedral and feel like I want to believe. I stand there and just feel pure wonder at the construction and the history and I cannot help but say "wow". Now I feel this need to pursue this amazement and wonder here in the U.S. and I plan to find at leas
t one cathedral in Los Angeles that I can go to one day and just stay all day admiring the architecture and the art. I find it so entertaining that I can find the same passion I have for chemistry and calculus and engineering and diabetes technology that I can find when I talk about Gothic cathedrals.
