She showed us round the gallery and then let us wonder about and pick our favourite painting that we wanted to research and then present to our class.
I chose the painting Adam and Eve to research about because I liked the depiction of what the artist thought they would look like. The painting shows an important moment for Christian beliefs and religion.
I took a photo of the painting and the information panel that was right next to it.
While I walked through each room I noticed that the curator had put paintings together depending on if they were from the same time period.
The lady showed us where to look in the book for important information, we looked in books and the internet to find out more about the chosen painting.
One key point I noticed from researching about the painting, I saw that Venus looked the same as Eve and the paintings were done by the same artist.
The are many ways to depict the tree of life and the snake, the apple is a symbol of death, poison and involved with stories, films, books and religion.
I gathered research from different sources in the book and then presented my findings to the class.
I would save I benefitted from her intuitive feedback and pointers in how to research properly.
