I love to surround myself by beautiful things. If I had all the money in the world, I would travel. I would go see the Taj Mahal, Versailles, the Louvre, St. Peters Basilica and all the art and architecture of the world I could possible take in. Being such a visual person, this is why I want to be a designer. I want people to know that they don't have to live with white walls and yucky linoleum floors. Why not have the marble countertops and clawfoot bathtub you always wanted? It's your home, the place you come home to every night. Make it worthwhile.
In my art history class we've been learning a lot about art centered around architecture. I find this so fascinating. These buildings are still standing today and are still some of the most beautiful things on earth. Mosaics like you've never seen, gold, jewels, and the mechanics of it all are just amazing. No modern technology; so yes, it did take many years and tries in some cases, but it was worth it. It makes me wonder.......what will our children see in the future that will inspire them? I think in the state of the world today people really need to look around and see the beauty in different cultures and those cultures' creations. Art is not created in a vacuum......it goes across the board, overlapping. I'm not saying art can save the world, but I know your eyes can teach you a lot. We just need to stop opening our mouths and start opening our eyes.......stop and look.......take it all in.......
