waking up bright and early we headed off to grab breakfast at the nearby cafes and pastry shops.
most people there don;t know french
so it is difficult to actually ask for what you want.
so after much hand gesturing and a help or 2 from friendly locals we get to taste really yummy food!
after a nice breakfast we head off for musee d'orsay!
i must say i could actually like this museum more than louvre! oh my.
maybe because i saw more familiar art...
upon reaching d'orsay we saw this insanely long queue outside of the museum
we bought museum pass( meaning we could cut queues and enter all the museums with just that pass)( well i didn't need one, under 18 admit free:D yea man)
we were hopeing that wasn't the museum pass queue( since if everyone wants to cut, it means.. everyone has to queue up to cut right?) thankfully upon more "sign language" we figured we could enter through the side door behind a queue at least 1/10 of the length!
haha the poor people in the queue standing in the rain!
so the first thing when u walk into the museum, you see alot of sculptures!
i didn't quite figure out which period the sculptures were from, but i really liked them!
i like the poses, because they weren't very realistic, yet refreshingly new.
example above!
next we walk down the other aisle where we looked at more paintings. i think this is realism! tell me i am right! yes, there are actually more better paintings but... i wanted to show off i could name it as realism...
somehow i skipped many pictures in other rooms... sooo yes
i saw this view above the viewing gallery
tell me it is amazing! in between each pillar is like a gallery by respective artists..
but the perspective.. makes an amazing photo. one of the best "tunnel" photo i got throughout the whole trip i must say!
oh yes another note i would like to make is i was trying for alot of artistic photos this time round instead of the typical holiday snapshots. so yes i will try uploading most of them?
look at that LOOK LOOK LOOK POST IMPRESSIONISM
does it look familiar?
yes yes its by paul gauguin! the one we studied before
*clears voice* so here you see a typical painting done by gauguin, influenced by the tahiti people, the painting consists of many bright colours and patterns......mysterious.....
and its the one we compared to... erm hendra gunawan:" peeling flat beans" yea!
and where is van gogh you ask? well he is here, i just wasnt able to upload that darn video clip.. i shall try again? he is here don't worry! i simply went balistic with all the artist i knew!
post impressionism? mm
paul cezanne's landscape!
do u see the sphere cone and cylinder?
and if im not wrong i think a few of us repainted a part of this painting?
eeps i think paul cezanne is quite amazing, he inspired cubism afterall! ans i think cubism is cool, some of them, just look where it got picasso!
yay down to impressionism
Degas! and his ballerinas! ahha mum loves him cuz she loves ballet
yay we pose with the picture which ms tan made us analyse so many times!!
evidence it is impressionism:
1. cropping off the side
2. "candid camera"
3. realistic
4. erm light.. brush strokes. i can;t remember how we defined themmm oh no.
5. interesting perspective ( the girls backs are facing us!)
haha yay! i remembered.
the amazing view i got from the top of the stairs
another one of those rather good photos!
history behind the museum is that it used to be a train station! hence the longness
can u imagine the old steam powered trains chugging into the station? i can! CHOO CHOO!
and finally a better shot of that AMAZING CLOCK i cun get a good picture of for many many reasons. i cun get a position for a head on shot cause there are dangling lights which cover the clock.. i got scolded for climbing on the seats to take this photo though.. oops.
the rhino sculpture outside the museum, it was still raining heavily when we got out.... see ben and jerry teeshirt? yea im a walking advertistment! haha say hi to scoopie from singapore!
at musee rhodin........
the thinker!
i wonder what he can possibly think of up there...
the thinker:" i think i am so cold i need clothes"
yea i thought so.
this is like a small pond and there was this sculpture in the middle. i thought it was interesting!
here are some yummy macro shots i got in the garden!
it was drizziling and there are plants
and the plants catch water
and anyone who knows me would know
macro+ plant+ water droplets= ying zhi going crazy with the camera!
in fact i got scolded by dad for taking flower pictures..
and that about wraps up day 2. i cut down the amount of photos i think!
i really only got one photo from general section ( painting/ sculptures) and other significant things. there are way too many!
