If I did not have to keep this blog post more "profession" I would express my deep love for the Google Art Project in many long, capitalized letters. One of the most astounding things about this project is that the zoom is very high quality. It allows me to zoom into the painting and see every detail of that painting, inch by inch, something I enjoy doing at museums. However, my screen is rather small and does not allow me to fully stare at each detail. Also, there is no nice museum atmosphere in my house.
Viewing art pieces online do not necessarily have the same effect as a real painting. It has the same feel of taking pictures of paintings or just copying and pasting paintings. To me, paintings seem far much more interesting in person and allows me to admire the artist's techniques and creativity.
Any experience could be considered things "you experienced through a secondary source then later on experienced it in real life." This could be webcamming with a person I love very much. It is just not the same at all. Experiencing something in real life allows a person to use more senses and allows them to have a completely difference atmosphere than just sitting a home staring a screen, only sensing with my eyes and not the other senses.
(Just sayin', this is my favorite post so far because I absolutely love this Google Art Project and am not "just typing things down.")
